No man played a larger role in solidifying Bucknell's golf program than Harold Evans, who served the university for more than 70 years until his passing in 2002. Evans came to Bucknell as caddie master in 1931 and took over as head professional in 1932. After organizing the school's club golf team, he became the Bison's first intercollegiate golf coach in 1939. He won a school-record 144 dual matches during his nearly quarter-century tenure as head and led the Bison to five Middle Atlantic Conference championships from 1956-61, helping two of those teams to the NCAA Tournament. The beauty of the Bucknell Golf Club is a tribute to Evans and his wife, Mary Louise, who planted countless trees and flowers and shaped the appearance of the course through the years, including the expansion from 9 to 18 holes in 1963. He was named Golf Professional of the Year in 1976 by the Philadelphia Section of the P.G.A.Â
