Former two-time All-American Joey Maxon has been named assistant coach for the Clemson men’s golf program. Head Coach Jordan Byrd, who had served in a similar position under Larry Penley for the previous 17 years, made the announcement on Thursday.
Maxon comes to Clemson with a long resume as a professional golfer, teacher, assistant coach and head coach. Most recently he served as the head men’s and women’s coach at nearby Southern Wesleyan University (Central, SC) for the last seven years. He also has assistant coach experience at strong southeast programs Charlotte and East Tennessee State. He played professional golf from his graduation from Clemson in 1998 until 2007.
