Aaron Aberson is the new head coach of the Northwestern College men’s golf program beginning this fall. Aberson, a four-year letter winner for the Raiders from 2003-06, has been the assistant under current head coach Mark Bloemendaal for the past two seasons.

Aberson will inherit a team that finished fourth in the 13-team GPAC championship and took first at two events this season (Doane and Briar Cliff). The Red Raiders will return four of their top seven players and have signed an outstanding recruiting class. “Aaron has been instrumental in the recent successes of our team,” commented Bloemendaal. “He is a great teacher of the game and has been a key figure in signing the players that will be coming in the fall. He is excited about the opportunity to lead the program and will do an outstanding job.”

“I am honored to take over the Red Raider golf program,” commented Aberson. “Northwestern is a quality academic institution that offers a unique Christian dimension to it. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Northwestern and golf played an integral part of that experience. I would like to thank Coach Bloemendaal for the opportunity and I am extremely excited to see what the future holds for Red Raider golf.”

Aberson earned all-conference honors two years and played on Red Raider teams that advanced to the regional tournament four consecutive years. He will continue his duties as an admissions counselor.
