EVER LOYAL BE AMM3D MOTION ANALYSIS SYSTEM We utilize the Advanced Motion Measurement 3D Optical Analysis System to capture, measure and display the 3 dimensional motion of your full golf swing. The AMM3D measures your hips, shoulders, arms, wrist, hands and head, and how far you move up and down and side to side, while capturing your tilts, bends, rotations, and speed. It defines your kinematics sequence, or the efficiency of your golf swing, and helps us to predict and prevent future injuries due to improper form.
V1 PRO VIDEO ANALYSIS SYSTEM V1 video is used to show a 2 dimensional view of your swing faults. It is a very powerful tool that provides real-time visual feedback and the software tools to identify your technical flaws so that we can quickly correct them.
TRACKMAN TRACKMAN is a radar unit that measures both club delivery and the full trajectory of your golf shot. It measures ball spin, launch angle, and speeds of both the club and ball. It is a great tool to help with club fitting and yardage control.
SAM PUTTING LAB This system analyzes your putting stroke in 28 different parameters from club path to face angles to the rhythem of your stroke. It has parameters of the tour players to give guidance in a proper putting stroke.

EVER LOYAL BE After spending the past 15 years building highly successful men’s and women’s golf programs at Troy University, M AT T Matt Terry began the same process at Louisiana Tech after joining the Bulldog program on July 22, 2017. “Matt Terry is a proven and highly successful Division I HEAD COACH golf coach,” said McClelland. “He brings years of knowledge and experience to our program that will benefit our student @CoachMattTerry athletes, campus and local golf community now and in the years to come. We are excited to have Matt, his wife Dixie and their three children join the Louisiana Tech Family.” Terry spent 15 seasons at the helm of the Troy men’s golf team, the final four as the Director of Golf. Under his leadership and vision, Troy golf reached its pinnacle in 2015 as both the men’s and women’s teams competed in the NCAA Regionals. That started a three year stretch for the Troy men’s program where the Trojans competed in the NCAA Regionals in 2015, 2016 and 2017 while the Troy women advanced to the NCAA Regionals in three of the last four years (2014, 2015 and 2017). “I appreciate the faith that Tommy McClelland, Dr. Guice and the entire search committee has shown in me by selecting me as the Louisiana Tech golf coach,” said Terry. “I’m honored. My visit to Ruston, the Louisiana Tech campus and Squire Creek Golf Course was phenomenal. I am truly excited to get started at Louisiana Tech and for our entire family to become Bulldogs. It’s the right move for me and my family at this time. “ “For 15 years I have had the opportunity to coach 26 teams at Troy. It was truly an honor to coach that many players at this institution. Troy has a big time golf tradition and hopefully we have been a part of carrying on that tradition and leaving it in a better position than when we arrived here. I appreciate Dr. (Jack) Hawkins, Jeremy (McClain) and the entire administration for trusting this program with me for 15 years.” During the first 11 years of his Troy career, Terry had the responsibility of coaching both the men’s and women’s teams. He passed the torch on the women’s side to his protégée Bart Barnes two years ago and the foundation Terry had built led to back-to-back Sun Belt Conference championships and a pair of berths in the NCAA Regionals; the first in Troy’s Division I history on the women’s side. Terry saw his hard work pay off as the Troy men’s team won the 2016 Sun Belt Conference Championship -- its first ever as a member of the league -- while earning its second straight NCAA Regional bid. The Trojans played in the Franklin Regional as the Sun Belt’s automatic selection. The Trojans made their first appearance in an NCAA Regional under Terry after earning an at-large bid to the New Haven Regional in 2015. The 2017 season saw the program earn its third straight berth into the NCAA Regionals as the Trojans were tabbed as an at-large selection into the NCAA College Grove Regional at The Grove. The Trojans finished in the sixth place, just one spot from qualifying as a team for the NCAA Championships. In addition to the team accomplishments, Troy has sent two individuals to the NCAA Championships as Tolver Dozier (2015) and Cam Norman (2017) both played their way through the Regionals to advance to the highest stage. Troy has placed nine golfers on the All-Sun Belt Conference team over the past three seasons while as a team the Trojans set the school record for the lowest 18, 36 and 54 hole scores as well as the lowest individual round. Four of Terry’s former players are currently playing the pro circuit -- Zach Portemont (Sunshine Tour), Tolver Dozier (PGA Latin American), Jake Tucker (PGA Latin America) and Sofia Björkman (Nordea Tour). One consistent throughout Terry’s career has been his commitment to academics. Dozier earned the NCAA Elite 89 Award for men’s golf in 2015, which is presented to the student-athlete with the highest GPA at each of the NCAA’s 89 Championships. The men’s team has won six straight Troy Athletics Academic Team Awards (highest team GPA) and two of the last four Sun Belt Academic Awards. Additionally, four of Terry’s golfers have earned Troy’s Clements Award, which is presented annually to the top male student-athlete in the department. Troy golfers under Terry have also had success on the amateur circuit as a Trojan golfer has competed in the U.S. Amateur each of the past four years. Dozier played in the 2012 and 2014 event, while Jake Tucker qualified in 2013 and Bettcher in 2015. Prior to coming to Troy in the fall of 2002, Terry served as the head coach at Shelton State Community College in Tuscaloosa, Ala. During his three seasons there, he led the Buccaneers to the national tournament three times, finishing in third place twice before winning the championship in 2002. A native of Moulton, Ala., Terry has been an avid golfer since dropping baseball to concentrate on the sport in high school. He served as director of the Tuscaloosa Junior Golf Tour, supervising up to 175 children ages 8 to 18. Terry also has experience as a teacher, serving as the assistant pro at the Turtle Creek Golf Club in Rockledge, Fla. Terry has professional experience playing on the Hooters, Central Florida/Tommy Armour and North Florida PGA Winter tours. He also participated in the 1988 PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament, better known as q-school. Born in Augusta, Ga., Terry received his bachelor’s degree in marketing from Alabama in 1996. He is married to the former Dixie McCreless and the couple has three children, Mya, Alyssa and Sawyer.

EVER LOYAL BE DR. LES
GUICE UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT @LKGuice
On Nov. 22, 1975, Les Guice, the future president of Louisiana Tech University but at the time a Tech junior architecture major, put a metaphorical but very visible exclamation point on two of his life’s biggest loves. First, he married to Kathy May, now his wife of 43 years, in south Arkansas. Second, the very newly newlyweds immediately headed to Ruston to watch Louisiana Tech’s football team play Arkansas State. In the cold and rain. Tech lost. Les and Kathy didn’t. Several diplomas, three sons and three grandchildren later, they are still going strong and leading their alma mater to new heights. Dr. Guice and Tech share a rich history together that spans five decades and has produced family ties that are deeply rooted in a passion for the Bulldogs and Lady Techsters. From an architecture student stepping on the campus for the first time in 1972 to an appointment as Louisiana Tech’s 14th President in 2013, Guice has shown an unwavering commitment to leadership and service to his alma mater. One of Guice’s first achievements at Tech was earning a bachelor of arts in architecture in 1976. Discovering a passion for engineering under the mentorship of professor Jack Painter, Guice went on to earn a master’s degree in civil engineering from Tech in 1978 and decided to pursue teaching and education as his profession. His dedication to his students, his faculty and the University would lead to his appointment as dean of Tech’s College of Engineering and Science (COES) in 1999. As Dean, Guice continued to encourage and support innovations in the curricula. The College’s faculty became increasingly successful in securing external funding for the integrated curriculum which resulted in a transformative redesign of curricula throughout the College. Guice’s leadership and vision also reinvigorated the Engineering and Science Foundation to more effectively serve the needs of the College. He initiated a new integrated strategic plan, known as “COES 2010,” and capital campaign, “Tech’s BEST,” that led to funding for an Eminent Scholar Chair, 15 Professorships, a $500k Scholarship Fund, and several new laboratories and facilities. With a focus on the future and a progressive vision for economic development, Guice has led the planning and development of the Louisiana Tech Enterprise Campus, a research park connecting the University and downtown Ruston. Enterprise Campus’ first building, Tech Pointe, was completed in 2012 and is now home for several companies and organizations; another building to house emerging companies is already needed. Because of a revitalized relationship between the City of Ruston and the University, and thanks to the Ruston citizens and friends and supporters of Tech, the partnership has resulted in about $300 million in investments, private and public, during the past two years. Much of that growth is due to Tech’s problem-solving, opportunity-seizing president. As president, Guice is the chief executive officer of north Louisiana’s only Carnegie Foundation national research university and one of only two public universities from Louisiana recognized in the top tier of national universities by U.S. News and World Report. Throughout his career, Guice has contributed to and played a central role in creating the culture and vision for the future of Tech; he continues that commitment as president. His focus on campus-wide engagement and building and growing relationships, plus his leadership in forging a path toward advancement of the University’s academic and athletic programs, research and commercialization activities, and economic development efforts means that Louisiana Tech University’s best days are yet to come.

EVER LOYAL BE TOMMY
McCLELLAND DIRECTOR of ATHLETICS @TMcClelland
Since stepping on campus in July of 2013, the cornerstone of Louisiana Tech Director of Athletics Tommy McClelland’s leadership has been the philosophy of building champions on the playing fields, in the classrooms and in life. While leading Louisiana Tech into the Conference USA era, McClelland impacts the athletics department through fundraising, facility improvements, coaching hires and overall student-athlete development. If the past five years are an indication, McClelland’s philosophy is paying dividends in Ruston. In fact one could argue that since his arrival in Ruston, Louisiana Tech has seen its most impressive five-year run since the 1970s. Over the past five years, the University has seen postseason appearances by football, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball, softball, golf and track and field. During his time in Ruston, the Louisiana Tech programs have all taken strides forward on the playing fields, highlighted by: Football – the Bulldogs are one of just four teams nationally that have won a bowl game in each of the past four years, joining Clemson, Wisconsin and Utah. Since 2013, Tech has had more players selected in the NFL Draft than any other Conference USA program. Men’s Basketball – the Bulldogs were one of just 13 teams in the nation to record 23-plus wins five straight years (Tech won 17 this past year). Tech won a pair of regular season conference titles during this stretch. Women’s Basketball – Head coach Brooke Stoehr (a former Lady Techster great) led the program to back-to-back Women’s National Invitation Tournament appearances and top four finishes in the C-USA regular season. Baseball – Louisiana Tech has won 35-plus games for three straight seasons, the longest such streak since the 1980s while making its first NCAA Regional appearance in 30 years when the Bulldogs won 40-plus games and reached the Starkville Regional finals in 2016. Softball – the Lady Techsters have recorded four straight 30-plus win seasons for the first time in two decades. Tech won its first Conference USA Tournament title in 2017, earning a spot in the 2017 NCAA Tournament in the Tuscaloosa Regional where it took No. 1 ranked Minnesota to extra innings before falling. Men’s Golf – the 2016 Bulldog golf team shocked everyone in route to capturing the Conference USA team title (its first since 1980) and clinching the program’s first ever appearance in the NCAA Regionals. Victor Lange became the first Bulldog to ever earn three straight strips to the NCAA Regionals. Louisiana Tech was one of only seven FBS schools in the country to have 9-plus football wins, 20-plus MBB wins, 35-plus baseball wins and 35-plus softball wins (one of only two non-Power 5 teams to accomplish it: BYU) during the 2016-17 campaign. That same season Tech also became only the second C-USA program to finish in the top 5 in football, women’s basketball, men’s basketball, baseball, softball and soccer in the same season in league’s history (East Carolina, 2012-13). 2015-16 also saw some impressive achievements. Louisiana Tech joined Florida, Florida State, Ohio State and Ole Miss as the only five Football Bowl Subdivision schools to recorded 9-plus wins in football, 20-plus wins in men’s basketball and 40-plus wins in baseball. It was also one of only 12 FBS programs to play in the postseason in each of those three sports, joining Florida, Connecticut, Florida State, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Ohio State, Washington, Duke, Arizona, Utah and Miami (Fla.). Pretty elite company. Off the field, Louisiana Tech student-athletes have blossomed in the classroom as well. During McClelland’s time in Ruston, a total of 726 LA Tech studentathletes have been recognized on the Conference USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll while another 173 have earned the C-USA Academic Medal, including a record 47 in 2017-18.
Louisiana Tech senior soccer star Katie Sloan was named the 2016 CoSIDA Academic All-America of the Year for Division I Women’s Soccer, becoming the first student-athlete in LA Tech history to receive this prestigious honor. The University has also seen its athletic programs continue to earn high marks in both the NCAA’s annual Academic Progress Report (APR) and Graduation Success Rate, ranking among the state and conference leaders in many of these marks. Perhaps the most tangible sign of McClelland’s impact at Louisiana Tech are in facilities with the addition of the $23-plus million Davison Athletics Complex and the $18-plus million press box and luxury suites at Joe Aillet Stadium. These two new facilities not only changed the landscape of football game-day in Ruston but also produce more than $1.2 million in additional revenue per year for LA Tech Athletics. In addition to the new construction, the department has seen upgrades and renovations to many of its other athletic facilities, such as the addition of the $1.2 million Paul Millsap Vision presented by Community Trust Bank, a high definition video display board in the Thomas Assembly Center. The project also included a customized sound system for the Thomas Assembly Center and a video board control room, utilized for both football and basketball. Louisiana Tech Athletics has also seen record numbers in private giving in each of the last four years, including surpassing $1.6 million in giving to the Louisiana Tech Athletics Club (LTAC) for the first time ever this past year. Tech has also seen record numbers in most LTAC donors in the past three years. During the 2013-14 fiscal year, McClelland spearheaded the efforts in raising more than $10.8 million through both LTAC and Quest for Excellence; more than double any previous year in Tech Athletics history. Included in the record total were five, seven-figure gifts. Louisiana Tech also made the announcement in the fall of 2015 that it partnered with Adidas America, Inc. to establish a transformational 5-year exclusive agreement that outfits all 16 NCAA men’s and women’s programs in Adidas uniforms, apparel, footwear and equipment through the 20202021 athletics season. During his time in Ruston, McClelland has also groomed a pair of newly named athletic directors in Lamar AD Marco Born and Florida Atlantic AD Brian White. Both Born and White served on McClelland’s senior staff during their time in Ruston. Prior to coming to Ruston, McClelland made a national name for himself after quickly elevating to the athletics director position at age 26. He earned high praise from a number of high-profile experienced athletic administrators. “Tommy McClelland is an outstanding leader and one of the nation’s rising stars in intercollegiate athletics,” said Bubba Cunningham, athletics director at the University of North Carolina. “He has a demonstrated commitment to supporting and developing his coaches and student-athletes and has already become well-known among ADs for his leadership, vision and character. Tommy has also shown a dedication to lifelong learning and the application of his skills and talents to making his athletic programs better.”

EVER LOYAL BE Prior to being named athletic director at McNeese State on March 19, 2008, McClelland served as interim athletic director and assistant athletic director of internal affairs at the university. In his time at McNeese, McClelland and his staff had numerous success stories when it came to increased revenue streams and the overall game-day experience in Lake Charles. He raised more than $3 million in private donations, and he was instrumental in increasing corporate sponsorships to nearly $1 million, while securing new clients and multi-year sponsorships. McClelland was also responsible for increasing football season ticket sales: the program eclipsed the 8,000 mark in 2008 with a high of 8,035 in 2009. In addition, he was instrumental in setting single-game attendance records in baseball, volleyball, softball, soccer, women’s basketball and women’s tennis. “Tommy is a rising star in the college athletics administration field and, in my view, the ideal leader to advance Louisiana Tech’s athletics program as it transitions into Conference USA,” said Liberty Athletics Director Ian McCaw. “He possesses impeccable integrity and has an extraordinary work ethic. Moreover, his interpersonal and relational skills are outstanding and will enable him to quickly connect with Bulldog fans as well as campus and community leaders.” One of McClelland’s main goals was to improve the life of the studentathletes and increase the game-day experience for the McNeese State fan base. One of the most effective ways to accomplish these goals was by improving the facilities. During his time at McNeese State, he oversaw a combined total of over $11 million dollars in facility renovation and new construction. The combination of increased revenue streams, renovations and new construction, and a highly-involved fan base led to plenty of success stories on the playing fields. During his tenure as athletic director, McNeese won Southland Conference championships in football (2007, 2009), soccer (2006, tournament; 2007, regular season), softball (2010, tournament; 2013, regular season), men’s basketball (2011, regular season), women’s basketball (2011, regular season; 2011 and 2012 tournament) and men’s cross country (2012). The women’s basketball program made its first appearances ever in the NCAA Tournament, and the men’s basketball program hosted the first round of the NIT postseason tournament (Boston College live on ESPNU). Even more impressive is the fact that while the Cowboy and Cowgirl programs were capturing titles on the fields, the University’s student-athletes were making tremendous strides in the classroom. In five of McClelland’s six years as athletics director, McNeese State led the Southland Conference in the number of student-athletes named to the Commissioner’s Honor Roll. In addition, McClelland guided the resurgence in APR success in Lake Charles. The number of athletic programs boasting the required APR score of 925 went from four in his first year to all 16 in his final year. The community service hours performed by the MSU student-athletes also tripled to more than 3,000 during his tenure. “Tommy has a great knowledge of college athletics and excels at helping his student-athletes balance and succeed in their commitments to academics and athletics,” said Michigan Athletics Director Warde Manuel. “Tommy has also proven his ability to work effectively with coaches and administrators to help his programs be successful.” McClelland earned his bachelor’s degree from Northwestern State in 2004 and completed his master’s degree in sports administration in 2005. He walked on with the Demons football team and eventually earned a scholarship; he also competed in the javelin for the NSU track and field team. The native of Basile, Louisiana served as a graduate assistant at Northwestern State in athletics and also worked at the Southland Conference office as an administrative intern, assisting with championship events. McClelland is also a 2012 graduate of the Executive Program of the Sports Management Institute and attended instruction at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Kenan-Flagler Business School and the University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business. McClelland is married to the former Jessica Stokes of Garrison, Texas. They have two sons, Lawson (8) and Grayson (7).
