The Pepperdine men’s golf team will add an impressive three-man recruiting class in fall 2019 to what should already be one of the nation’s top teams, as head coach Michael Beard announced his National Letter of Intent signees today.
Pepperdine has signed three Southern Californians: Tristan Gretzky, Dylan Menante and William Mouw.

Beard says: “Tristan has impressed us with his athleticism and attitude. He’s a late bloomer with a great upside. He’s a great fit for our program and the university.”
Gretzky says: “My life goal is to be on the PGA Tour and Pepperdine is the college that will give me the chance to make it. The players and coaching staff are the best in the country and I’m looking forward to spending the next couple of years grinding with them.”
