Email coach Fisher

     Robert Fisher enters his sixth season as head coach of the women’s golf team at Kutztown University.

     Fisher took over the reigns of the program in January of 2002, guiding the program through the second half of its sophomore season of existence. Each season, Fisher’s team has improved. The team averaged just under 400 strokes per round when he took over in 2002. Last year, the squad carded an average of 352 strokes per 18 holes.

     Each season, the team competes in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Championship. The first five years, Kutztown was the only women’s team, but last year the league expanded to eight teams, including one other women’s squad. KU shot a two-day score of 691 to finish eighth. The score marked an 80-stroke improvement at the PSAC tournament since Fisher’s first year. KU’s PSAC highlight came at the 2003 tournament, where Jessica May was named PSAC tournament MVP after placing 15th.

     Fisher also serves as head coach of Kutztown’s wrestling program. Over the past seven years, Fisher has amassed a dual meet record of 60-34. His wrestlers have earned four All-America honors. He served as assistant coach with the Golden Bear wrestling program from 1990-2000.
Prior to coming to Kutztown, Fisher served as assistant wrestling coach at his alma mater, Hazleton High School, from 1987-90. Fisher was a two-time district wrestling champion at Hazleton and a three-time northeast regional runner-up. He captured the District 11 championship and went on to win the District 2 championship when Hazleton changed districts. He still holds the record for the most wrestling wins in school history. A two-sport athlete, he was also a member of the 1984 Big 33 Football Team.

     Fisher received his bachelor’s degree in special education for the visually impaired from Kutztown in 1995. He went on to serve as a teacher of the blind/visually impaired at the Capital Area Intermediate Unit, in Summerdale, PA, from 1996-99. He is currently pursuing a master’s degree in education from Bloomsburg University.
