We all look forward to his leadership in taking the ULGC to the next level as one of the premier golf clubs in the Louisville area."
Thompson enjoyed two extensive stints at two of the top golf courses in Louisville, managing the Audubon Country Club from 2004-2015 and serving as the Director of Club Operations and head Golf Professional at the Glen Oaks Country Club from 1993-2004.
"We are excited to have Denny join and lead the team at the ULGC," UofL women's golf head coach Courtney Trimble said. "Denny brings many years of experience as a successful general manager and we know his passion and work ethic will help ULGC continue to become a premier golf club. It is wonderful to have one of our former Cardinal golfers working so closely with our teams and members of the ULGC."
