Robbie Fields is in his third year as East Carolina's assistant women's golf coach after joining the staff in August 2019.

During his brief time at ECU, Fields has helped coach a pair of all-conference performers, including 2021 conference champion Dorthea Forbrigd, and two U.S. Women's Amateur participants. The Pirates have won three tournaments since his arrival and posted six Top 3 team finishes.

Prior to joining coach CC Buford at ECU, Fields spent one season at Mississippi State where he served as the volunteer assistant coach helping the Bulldogs reach the Norman Regional, their first regional appearance since 2015. The Bulldogs finished tied for ninth (881, 17-over) narrowly missing making the NCAA Championship and closed out the season ranked No. 44 nationally.

Fields was also part of the MSU program that advanced to the match-play portion (quarterfinals) of the SEC Championship where they were eliminated by No. 11 South Carolina. While in Starkville, Miss., Fields also oversaw all practice sessions utilizing drills, on-course coaching, tournament travel/operations and assisted in recruiting visits.

Prior to his first collegiate coaching position, Fields worked at the Hank Johnson School of Golf in Birmingham, Ala., for eight months assisting Hank Johnson, the 2004 PGA Teacher-of-the-Year, with lessons, while providing individual instruction to junior and adult golfers as well as serving as a caddie for students in competitive events.

Fields has also worked as a PGA Golf Management Level 1 and 2 intern at the Sea Island Golf Performance Center (St. Simons Island, Ga.), Crooked Stick Golf Club (Carmel, Ind.) and Northern Texas PGA Section (Dallas, Texas).

The Hartselle, Ala. native, who owns several PGA Golf Management certifications, earned his bachelor’s degree in business management (PGA Golf Management concentration) from Mississippi State in the spring of 2019. Fields was the recipient of the 2017 PGA Golf Management Joe Assell Leadership and the 2018 PGA Golf Management Dr. S. Roland Jones Student-of-the-Year Awards. He was also a member of the 2018 PGA Jones Cup Team.
