Shenango Athletics announces the hire of local PGA pro as golf coach

SHARON, Pennsylvania – Penn State Shenango Athletics has hired Tom Roskos, executive director of Buhl Park, as their golf coach for the first season of coed golf in 2022.

Roskos has immense experience in the game of golf. Roskos is a PGA Class A Professional, is a former long-drive competitor who still holds multiple records, including the longest drive in a competition (464 yards), and is in the top 10 on the All-Time Money List for the Long Drivers of America Tour, and a 12-time ReMax World Long Drive finalist.

“Tom is a huge part of the Shenango Valley community, the golf world, and the Shenango Campus,” said Amanda Howett, Athletic Director. “The addition of his skills to this campus, especially for a first year golf program, will be an incredible asset for the student athletes and the department. Golfers will have access to a wealth of knowledge through Tom and his connections, with the opportunity to play on a community-based course. “

“I see a lot of synergies in our community for this program,” said Roskos. “It’s a great opportunity for our community to join two of our iconic organizations in (Buhl Park) and Penn State Shenango to give high school graduates an extra reason to stay in our valley for higher education and athletics. I’m very excited about it. “
