Ottumwa - Indian Hills has tabbed John Mulholland to lead the Warrior golf program as the head coach, taking over a program that is fresh off its sixth National Championship.

 

Mulholland comes to Indian Hills from Jacksonville State University (Ala.) where he assisted both the men's and women's teams. While at JSU he helped coach five players to individual victories and assisted the men's program in winning the 2018 Ohio Valley Conference Championship, which advanced the Gamecocks to the NCAA Florida Regional Championship.

 

Before arriving at JSU, Mulholland coached at West Texas A&M, where he spent four seasons as the men's volunteer assistant coach, beginning in the 2013-14 academic year.  While at West Texas A&M, Mulholland assisted in coaching two First Team All-Lone Star Conference performers as well as one Co-Academic Player of the Year, a LSC Freshman of the Year, an Elite 90 Award winner, and one Division II PING All-South Central Region player. He also helped lead the 2014-2015 team to a 5th place finish at the NCAA DII West/South Central Regional, which led to a 17th-place finish in the first NCAA Division II National Championship appearance in school history.

 

Mulholland and his wife, Patricia Lee, were married in Dallas in February of 2017.  The Melbourne, Australia native earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Sport and Exercise Science from West Texas A&M University in 2015, and completed his Master of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies (Business, Professional Development & Communications).

 

Mulholland will succeed Nathan Weant at the helm of the Warrior program.  In Weant's lone season as IHCC Head Coach, the Warriors were the 2018 NJCAA Division I National Champions, and he was named the Dave Williams National Coach of the Year for NJCAA schools.  Indian Hills was victorious in three of four meets last fall and then followed up with team titles in six of seven meets in the spring season that culminated with an impressive nine-stroke victory over runner up Iowa Western for the national title in Lubbock, Texas.
