Terry Shaffer is in his fourth year as head coach of the George Washington University golf program after being hired in September, 2008.

A GW alumnus and former member of the golf team, Shaffer was a four-year letterwinner for the Colonials (1976-79) and was named the team MVP as a senior in 1979. Shaffer graduated from GW in 1979 with a bachelor's degree in business administration with a concentration in finance.

"GW has done a terrific job in building this golf program and making it successful," Shaffer said upon his hiring. "This year's program will be no different as it continues to become one of the best programs in the Atlantic 10 and the NCAA. Make no mistake about it, with the talent this team has, this year and subsequent years look very bright. We have great plans for the future. I have a heart-felt passion to help our golfers succeed in all of their endeavors both on, and off, the course."

A 1979 graduate of GW, Shaffer returns to his alma mater with 29-plus years of experience in the golf industry. His resume includes more than 16 years as a PGA Head Golf Professional, four years as the head golf coach at a Division I university (Mount St. Mary's), and working with thousands of students helping to promote and develop their golf skills. Shaffer has worked at Bethesda Country Club, Prospect Bay C.C., and has been with Atlantic Golf for the past eight years.

"Terry is a former member of the GW golf team and comes to us with a broad range of coaching and teaching experiences," said GW Senior Associate Director of Athletics, Mary Jo Warner. "I am confident that our team will succeed under his direction."

A member of the PGA of America, Shaffer and his wife, Susan, reside with their three children in Charlotte Hall, MD.
