“I would like to thank Mr. Barnhart for this great opportunity,” Johansson Borst said. “It is a true honor and privilege to become the women’s golf coach at the University of Kentucky. I look forward to becoming a part of the tradition of the Wildcat community. I can’t thank LSU enough for the opportunity I received there, but I look forward to this new chapter in my life.”
“We are excited about everything that Golda Johansson Borst brings to our women’s golf program,” Barnhart said. “She brings SEC experience as both a player and a coach in our league. Golda also adds international experience and a personality that will engage the Big Blue Nation. She will make the University of Kentucky proud.”
Johansson Borst joins the Wildcats from LSU where she has served as assistant women’s golf coach since August 2007.
During her stay in Baton Rouge, La., LSU advanced to the NCAA regionals each of Johansson Borst’s three seasons, highlighted by a 12th-place finish at the 2009 NCAA Championship.
