SMU Head Coach Chris Parra - "Don't Be Late"

The Golf Bag

“Don’t be late”. Simple advice. Advice from a college coach. Advice that carries weight. Especially when you are a junior golfer looking to play big time college golf!

Growing up in the shadow of SMU, it was an easy decision to go to school and play golf close to home, then after a journey career that left him fighting too many injuries, he found himself living back near campus when he got a call that changed his life.

“Would you like to be my assistant coach?” He wasn’t late, he was right on time!

Now he is the head coach and brings a lifetime of experience on and off the course.

He runs a program of respect and hard work, he leads by example in life. The goal is simple, compete at a high level and win.

Everything is bigger in Texas, including golf! SMU has a deep golf history that includes Payne Stewart and Bryson DeChambeau. Hear what Harry Higgs and Colt Knost have to say about their time there.

The head coach of the SMU Men’s golf team, this is Coach Chris Parra, on The Golf Bag.
