Some universities are lucky enough to get the good coaches. Some universities get the good teachers.
Some universities get the good leaders and organizers.
Some get all three. Illinois State has them all in one man, head coach Harland Kilborn. Kilborn has been a major contributor not only to the men's golf team's rise to one of the top golf programs in the Midwest but also to the sport in general. He arrived in Normal in 1976 as the head golf professional at the Illinois State Golf Course. He began coaching at ISU in 1980 where he found himself coaching not only the men's team but the women's as well.
