NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Vanderbilt men’s golf head coach Scott Limbaugh announced Tuesday, the hiring of Brady Edwards as assistant coach and director of operations for the Commodores.
“I am thrilled to be adding Brady Edwards to our coaching staff,” said Limbaugh. “My number one goal is to help our guys grow on-and-off the course and find coaches that will invest in our players daily. I believe Brady will do that and his experience as a head coach will add a lot of value to our staff. Before he began his coaching career, he worked for TrackMan and helped some of the best players in the world on the PGA Tour, Korn Ferry Tour, and LPGA Tour developing tour analytics. Most importantly, he loves coaching and he is pumped to be coming to Vanderbilt.
“I really appreciate Candice Storey Lee and our administration for giving us this opportunity to add to our staff and continue to grow forward.”

The women’s team posted its highest ranking in program history, coming in at No. 12 in the GolfStat rankings.
