O'Callaghan begins his fourth season in the men's golf program.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Fourth-year University of Louisville men's golf assistant coach Aaron O'Callaghan has been elevated to associate head coach position, head coach Mark Crabtree announced on Tuesday.
O'Callaghan has been a part of two regional teams and has been influential in helping the Cards advance to the 2016 NCAA Golf Championships, where the Cards finished a school-best 14th overall.
"It is an honor and privilege to be named associate head coach at Louisville," O'Callaghan said. "I want to thank Coach Mark Crabtree and our Director of Athletics Tom Jurich for this exciting promotion. My heart is in Louisville and I feel very fortunate to be part such a special athletic program. I am continuing to learn  from Coach Crabtree daily and I feel that the program has a very exciting future. Being involved with some of the best student athletes in the country is the most rewarding experience a coach could ask for."
A native of Cork, Ireland, O'Callaghan spent the last four years as the top assistant golf professional at the Baton Rouge Country Club in Baton Rouge, La. The 31-year old began his time in the teaching and coaching ranks in 2009, when he was hired as a graduate assistant at Southeastern Louisiana.
Before becoming a coach, O'Callaghan enjoyed success at both the amateur and professional levels. As an amateur in his native Ireland, O'Callaghan won the 2004 Irish Boys Championship, was awarded the 2003-2004 Jacques Leglise Trophy, and was named the Ireland Junior Sports Star of the Year in 2005.
"Coach O'Callaghan has performed his responsibilities the past three years with a strong commitment to the program and our student athletes," Crabtree said. "He has been a tireless worker on the recruiting trail and helping develop our young men both on and off the golf course. I am pleased to recognize his efforts with this new title and continue to appreciate his dedication and love for the University of Louisville."
