A decade in, Dismuke hasn’t lost sight of a 17th national championship

One number means more for director of golf and head coach Jonathan Dismuke.

Seventeen.

It’s been the magic number for Dismuke since he arrived at Houston 10 years ago.

For the Cougars, it has been on the brain since 1985, the year they won their 16th and latest national championship.

A decade into the job, Dismuke still longs for lucky No. 17, and he is glad those above him still believe in the goals he set back in 2009.

“Ten years is a long time in the coaching world,” Dismuke said.
