TRU PLAYER AND COACH BIOS
 |
|
 |
Bill Bilton is the coach of TRU’s newest team: Mens Golf.
Ironically he was the coach when the old University College of the Cariboo had a Golf Program in 1998-99. “ It just made sense to get together with the people at TRU and try and put this program together.
The Dunes at Kamloops will not only be the home course for the WolfPack Golf Team, which will play in the BC College Athletics Assocation, but will also have its pros and assistant pros help in the development of the players.
For Bilton Junior, he wants to give back to the next generation of golfers: "For me, It’s tremendous. I’ve had a lot of success in my career. But to come back and see the friends and family and become a part of the community is something that I am really looking forward to. I think we can have a great program at TRU."
