The 2004-05 season will mark Joe Denton's fifth as an assistant at Cleveland State. Denton primarily works with the women's team, traveling with the squad to tournaments and instructing at practices. His passion and knowledge of the game make him an ideal teacher and mentor to the developing women's program.
Denton retired from public school education in 1989 after 30 years as a high school football coach and teacher at Akron Coventry, Tallmadge, Kent Roosevelt, Hudson and Stow-Munroe Falls. He also served as a golf coach and instructor for three years with Kent State University.
Upon retiring, he immediately entered the golf profession by serving as an instructor and assistant professional at Brookledge Golf Course in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio and, in 1990, was hired as an assistant professional at the Sharon Golf Club in Sharon Center, Ohio. He will begin his 15th season this spring.
Meanwhile, Denton completed all of the requirements to be a PGA professional in 1998, and he has advanced his skills by directly studying under several of the top 100 instructors in the country.
Denton graduated from Kent State University in 1959 with a B.S. and an M.Ed. He presently resides in Munroe Falls, Ohio, with his wife, Jeannie, who teaches English at Stow-Munroe Falls High School. They are the parents of three married sons and have two grandsons and one granddaughter.
