Coach/Director of Golf Shane LeBaron was hired September 2008 to coach the new men's and women's teams at University of South Carolina-Beaufort.
The men started competition with the fall 2007 season and became official members of The Sun Conference in Fall 2008.
South Carolina-Beaufort finished seventh in the 2009 NAIA Championship at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Ill. The Sand Sharks were 31 strokes behind tournament champion Oklahoma Christian.
Conditions during the tournament at the par-71, 6,973-yard course were sunny and breezy.
