Tigers still in good hands with Penley

Larry Penley has never had to reinvent himself, which is saying something when you consider how long he’s been at Clemson.

He’s made alterations throughout his 34 years as the leader of the men’s golf program, but that’s expected.

For the past 12 years, he’s relied heavily on assistant coach Jordan Byrd to help bridge the age gap.

“It’s different teaching this generation,” Penley said.

Through his longevity, though, he hasn’t had to change how he recruits or the core values of his program.

“He’s created a lasting culture of really great golf,” Clemson freshman Doc Redman said.
