Goucher Athletics Names Joe Lostumbo Head Men's and Women's Golf Coach

BALTIMORE, MD – Goucher College Director of Athletics, Stephanie Johnson, has announced the hiring of Joe Lostumbo as the next head coach of the Goucher College men's and women's golf programs.

Lostumbo joins the Gophers after serving as the associate head golf coach at Randolph-Macon College, where he played an integral role in all aspects of the program, including player development, recruiting, fundraising, academic support, scheduling, travel coordination, and team operations.

"We are excited to welcome Joseph to the Goucher Athletics family," said Johnson. "His passion and knowledge of the game, and commitment to maintaining a positive team culture made him an outstanding fit for our program. We look forward to seeing the impact he will have on our golf student-athletes both on and off the course."

At Randolph-Macon, Lostumbo worked closely with student-athletes to improve both their technical skills and mental approach to the game while emphasizing academic success and personal growth. He also played a key role in fundraising efforts and assisted with the program's day-to-day operations.

Before beginning his coaching career, Lostumbo competed for four seasons at Rider University, where he served as a team captain and helped the team capture the 2022 conference championship. During his collegiate career, he assisted with recruiting efforts by coordinating prospective student-athlete visits and working alongside the coaching staff in scheduling and program operations.

Lostumbo also brings extensive experience in golf instruction and the Rules of Golf. Since 2020, he has served as a Rules Official for the New Jersey State Golf Association, helping administer championship events and provide rules expertise to competitors. He earned the USGA Rules of Golf Expert Knowledge Certification, scoring 96 out of 100 on the examination. In addition, he spent nearly two years working under nationally recognized instructor Jason Barry, a five-time Golf Digest Best Young Teacher, where he gained experience utilizing industry-leading technologies, including TrackMan, Foresight, SAM PuttLab, V1 Video Analysis, and the DECADE performance system.

Lostumbo earned his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Rider University in 2023 before completing a Master of Arts in Athletic Leadership in 2025, graduating with a perfect 4.0 GPA.

He will begin his duties on August 3, as he prepares the Gophers for the upcoming season.
