Chris Whelton joins the Denison golf staff after spending last spring at the Carolina Day School as the Head Varsity Coach. Prior to landing at Carolina Day, Whelton worked the Matt Davidson Golf Camp hosted by Furman University and was a Private Golf Instructor.

In undergrad, Whelton made the transition from Division I baseball at Belmont University to a two-year varsity letter winner in golf with fellow NCAC institution Ohio Wesleyan. As a Battling Bishop, Whelton earned his Bachelor of Arts in Business Management, was named team captain, and was on the Ohio Wesleyan Athletic Council as a board member. As team captain, he led team practices and helped build team culture, while also offering guidance on technique and etiquette. On the green, his tournament low while at Ohio Wesleyan was 70.
