About the Earl Yestingsmeier Invitational:
Ball State's nearly annual home event is named in honor of Earl Yestingsmeier, the esteemed long-time men's golf coach and sports information director at Ball State University, passed away on January 9, 2014. He was 80 years old.
Yestingsmeier coached the Ball State men's golf program for 36 years until his retirement in 1998, spending 31 of those years in a dual role as the university's sports information director.
As a coach, Yestingsmeier led the Cardinals to 107 tournament titles and 11 NCAA Tournament appearances. For his success, he was enshrined in the Ball State Athletics, Golf Coaches Association and Indiana Golf halls of fame.
A four-time Mid-American Conference Coach of the Year, Yestingsmeier's teams won six league titles in his career. He guided the Cardinals from their days in the Indiana Collegiate Conference into the Midwestern Conference and eventually into the MAC in the 1970s.
