08.31.2015 | Women's Golf
AMES, Iowa – Iowa State head women's golf coach Christie Martens announced today that Sarah Butler, who was an assistant at Old Dominion in 2014-15, has been named assistant women's golf coach at Iowa State University.
“We are really excited to get Sarah on board,” Martens said. “She's proven herself as a player, as a coach and as an administrator.”
Butler helped mentor a pair of golfers (Maggie Simmermacher and Katerina Vlasinova) who were named All-C-USA in her only season at ODU. Simmermacher was also named C-USA Freshman of the Year.
“I'm extremely excited to work with Christie and to be a part of the Iowa State women's golf program,” Butler said. “I'm ecstatic to be involved with everything that's going on here. Christie's program is one of the nation's best and I am ready to continue on the tradition that has already been established.”
A native of Roseau, Minn., Butler was an assistant coach at Shattuck-St. Mary's in Faribault, Minn., for one season and was a tournament director for the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) for two years prior to her stint at ODU.
Butler was a touring professional from 2007-10 before beginning her coaching career. She competed in the 2009 CN Canadian Women's Open on the LPGA Tour and posted numerous top-10 finishes on the CN Canadian Women's Tour.
A four-year letterwinner at Minnesota, Butler was named co-captain for the Gophers in her junior and senior seasons. She won the Minnesota Invitational and earned Academic All-Big Ten honors in 2005.
She earned her bachelor's degree in communication studies at Minnesota in 2006.
