The Earl Yestingsmeier Golf Center opened in late 2017 on the Ball State University campus in Muncie, Indiana. The 6,500 square foot golf training facility features indoor hitting bays for up to five players, a state-of-the-art technology-based simulator studio, putting lab/platform, a 2,200 square foot short game area, locker and restroom facilities for the women’s and men’s teams, a dedicated meeting/study room, player lounge and club repair room.
The facility bears the name of longtime golf coach and Ball State alum Yestingsmeier, who passed away in 2014. Yestingsmeier coached the Ball State men’s golf team for 36 years until his retirement in 1998. Remarkably, he spent 31 of those years in a dual role as the university’s sports information director (a role he held full-time from 1959 to 1963, before he was hired as men’s golf coach).
