Ankeny’s Nate McCoy (pictured above), after serving as the 9-month P.J. Boatwright Intern with the Iowa Golf Association in 2017, has joined the staff as Manager of Championships and Course Rating.

McCoy, a 2012 graduate of Iowa State University (ISU), has competed on the PGA Tour Canada and Web.Com Tour.  He posted a win on PGA Tour Canada in 2014 at the Wildfire Invitational.

While at Iowa State, McCoy qualified for the 2012 NCAA Championships as an individual, finishing 29th overall. That same year he was named ISU’s 2011-12 Male Athlete of the Year, as he won two tournaments and finished in the top-10 in eight of 14 tournaments. McCoy, an All-Big 12 First-Team selection and Ping All-Central Region pick that season, ended the year with a then-school record 71.65 stroke average

“I am very excited to join the Iowa Golf Association full-time,” McCoy said. “I get to work with some of the greatest people I know and it is a pleasure to come to work each day. I look forward to opportunity to keep growing the game and being of service to golfers in the state.”

Nate lives in Ankeny with his wife Ashley and their 21-month old daughter, Harper.
