Richter started the LaGrange College golf program in 1993. Richter has guided the Panthers to three straight NCAA Division III Championship Tournament appearances in 2007, 2008 and 2009. In 2009, the Panthers finished 18th in the national championship, their best NCAA finish.

The Panthers also went to the national tournament in 2004. Richter guided the Panthers to the 2003 USCAA national title. The Panthers also made back-to-back national tournament appearances in the 2000 and 2001 NAIA National Championships.  

Richter has coached six All-Americans with three of those being Academic All Americans, which he is the most proud of. LaGrange College's first freshman NCAA All-American in the school's history came from the golf team in 2007 when Bo Tiller earned the honor.

Richter was named Region Coach of the Year for the Southeast Region in 1999 after the Panthers finished ranked 20th in NAIA. He played golf for Alexander City (Ala.)
