NASHVILLE, TENN. - - Belmont University Men’s Golf Head Coach Brian Costello announced Wednesday the signing of Daniel Smith to a national letter of intent.

Smith, a native of Bournemouth, Dorset County, England, compiled an impressive junior golf resume. Among his accomplishments, Smith won the 2005 Dorset Junior County Championships in a record score of 137, the 2005 Dorset Boys’ Championships, and advanced to the third round of the 2006 British Boys’ Amateur Championship at Royal Aberdeen.

Playing out of Parkstone Golf Club, Smith also won the 2006 area Boys’ County Championship, ranked first in the Dorset Elite squad order of merit, and has set multiple local course records.

"I am very excited about Dan joining us next season,” Costello said. “He brings with him great attitude and character, along with some solid international experience. Dan's game has really begun to blossom over the past two seasons and has even more potential for growth. He will be a big part of what we are trying to build here at Belmont."

Smith becomes the third Belmont golf team member from the United Kingdom, joining Stuart Ashwood and Simon Marshall.

The Bruins signed Robby McNiff from Muskegon, Michigan this past November.
