Ross Button joined the Idaho men's golf staff as an assistant coach in September 2017. Button joined the Vandals after serving as the head coach at Moscow High School for three years. Born and raised in Moscow, Button is a 2003 graduate of Moscow High School and went on to play golf collegiately at Lewis-Clark State College.
“When I got the opportunity to bring someone in to help with the program Ross was an obvious choice,” said head coach David Nuhn. “He is a great fit. We understand each other really well.”
In addition to skill development, Button brings with him four years of professional caddy experience. His time on the bag will help Idaho’s student-athletes on the course during competition, an area of focus for Nuhn.
“There is a distinct difference in the team’s ability to perform when there are two coaches on the course,” said Nuhn. “It was a really big deal to bring someone in who will be a tremendous asset during tournament play.”
“I love coaching,” Button said. “Joining the Vandals was a wonderful opportunity, and it allows me to learn from someone who is very experienced in David.”
Button will also offer day-to-day assistance with operational tasks and organization of practices.
