The Art of Coaching: Whithaus’ Positive Influence on the Duke Golf Community

By Charlotte Tannenbaum, Duke Communications Student Assistant

DURHAM– "A good coach can change a game. A great coach can change a life."

Sometimes, players are lucky enough to work with somebody who can do both. Jon Whithaus is one of these special coaches. Whithaus has been a staple in the Duke golf program for years now. The current women's associate head coach, Whithaus previously worked the same position on the men's team. Whithaus was a successful college golfer himself, playing his four years at Ohio Wesleyan where he also began his coaching career.
