Stuart Clark, a four-year letterman on North Alabama golf teams from 1996-99, helped bring the Lions program to national prominence as part of UNA’s first golf team to qualify for the NCAA Division II Championship Tournament in 1996. UNA tied for sixth in the nation that year and the Lions returned to the NCAA Tournament in his senior season of 1999.
Clark won six collegiate tournaments during his career at UNA, including winning the 1996 Gulf South Conference individual championship. He was the first UNA player to win the GSC individual title. He earned All-GSC honors in 19996 and 1999, was All-South Region in 1999 and was an honorable mention All-American selection as well as a senior. He was named UNA's golf team MVP in 1996 and 1999.
Clark graduated from UNA with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in 1999 and played professionally on the Tight Lies, Developmental Players and Hooters Tours. He later served as an assistant, and then head golf coach at Northwest Shoals Community College from 2002-07.
Named UNA's head golf coach in 2009, Clark led the Lions to the 2010 GSC championship and was voted GSC Coach of the Year. He repeated that feat in 2012 as UNA again won the GSC crown and Clark earned his second GSC Coach of the Year honor.
In four seasons as head coach at UNA, Clark took the Lions to four straight NCAA South/Southeast Super Regional Tournaments.
