Jim McClean (’72)

Jim McLean, a proud University of Houston alumnus recently released a new book, The Houston Dynasty: Tales from College Golf’s Greatest Team.

The book is a behind-the-scenes look at the University of Houston’s legendary men’s golf program during its dominant run from 1968 to 1973 under Coach Dave Williams. Jim shares firsthand stories of the intense competition within the team—where dozens of elite players competed for just a handful of spots—along with insights into college life, NCAA rivalries, and the players who went on to become professional champions. It’s a compelling and entertaining look at what made Houston one of the greatest programs in college golf history.
