Young Harris College Women's Golf

Kelley begins his first season as the head coach of the Young Harris College men's and women's golf programs. Kelley led both Mountain Lion teams to their best-ever finishes in the Peach Belt Conference Championships as Young Harris' interim head coach. Kelley led the men to a third-place finish while the ladies came in seventh place. The men set a new PBC Championship record as they carded a 279 in the second round. The Mountain Lions also saw several other firsts. Young Harris, which was ranked No. 43 in Golfstat's NCAA Division II rankings, had two golfers - Linus Manntz and Eli Crumley - recognized as PBC AstroTurf Men's Golfers of the Week during the 2014-15 season. David Wallin was named to the All-PBC second team while Manntz was named to the All-PBC Championship Team. The women's team, which shaved 37 strokes off its scoring average from 2013-14 to 2014-15, was the first-ever Young Harris program to be honored by the Peach Belt with its Team Sportsmanship Award. Prior to taking over the golf program, Kelley served as assistant golf coach and assistant sports information director for the Mountain Lions for two seasons. Kelley, who earned his bachelor's degree in history from Young Harris in 2012, played for the Mountain Lions for four seasons. During his playing career, the Blairsville, Georgia, native was named as a team captain and served as a member of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. ,
