Lamar University Athletics

Former Lamar golfing great, Julie Aime was named associate head coach in May 2026. Aime returns to her alma mater after a 10-year playing career on the LPGA and European Tours.
 
A 2019 Epson Tour Rookie of the Year, Aime played in 89 events (from 2019 to 2023) making the cut 60 times recording seven top 10 finishes. Prior to her success on the LPGA Tour, Aime gained recognition on the Ladies European Tour (LET) from 2016 to 2018 competing on the LET and LET Access Series.
 
In 2016, Aime climbed into the Top 50 of the LET Access Series and won her first pro tournament the following year – Westin La Quinta Golf Championship – in Spain. She ended that year ranked among the LET Top 25. Aime qualified for the LPGA Tour in 2018 climbing as high as 69^th in the rankings the following year.
 
During her professional career, Aime managed her own playing schedule coordinating her practice regimine, travel – which included anywhere from 25 to 30 weeks on the road each year – and developed her own training and fitness routine. 

A three-time All-Southland Conference selection during her time at Lamar, Aime closed out her collegiate career by earning first-team All-Southland Conference honors as a senior while leading Big Red to its first Southland title in seven years. Aime was also named SLC Golfer of the Month (for the month of February) that same season.
 
The 2013 championship season sparked a run of four-straight conference crowns by the Red and White which still stands as the longest run of success in Southland women’s golf history.
 
Aime received a bachelor’s degree in corporate communications from Lamar in December 2013.
