Georgia Tech Golf: Jackets take home multiple awards and honors
Georgia Tech head golf coach Bruce Heppler won his 10th ACC Coach of the Year award on Wednesday.
Georgia Tech men’s golf this season has been one of the country’s best teams in the country and is coming off an ACC Championship a few weeks ago. As the Jackets search for a national championship in the upcoming weeks, Georgia Tech men’s head golf coach Bruce Heppler has added some hardware to his trophy collection.
Heppler on Wednesday was awarded his 10th ACC Coach of the Year award in his 24-years of being the Jackets head coach since he took over in 1994. He also won the award in 1999, 2001, 2002, 2006, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2014, and 2018.
The BYU native has been nothing short of one of the best coaches in the country in his 24-years as the Jackets head coach.
CONGRATULATIONS to head coach Bruce Heppler, ACC Coach of the Year for the 10th time, most in conference history.
