San Jose State was the early powerhouse in women’s golf, thanks in large part to the influence of longtime coach Mark Gale. Location played a big role in getting some of women’s golf’s early stars to campus. Back then, the best recruiting was arguably at the Junior World Championships at Torrey Pines, and Gale could then sell his program to the world’s best talent as being situated halfway between San Francisco and Pebble Beach.
