Shannon Rice - Head Coach | EMAIL

Coach Rice attended the University of Tennessee where he earned his degree in kinesiology. A former D-2 collegiate basketball player, he fell in love with the game of golf and later pursued this interest in Knoxville, TN while working as a pro shop assistant. His golf game improved through his experience in the pro shop working with top professionals in the industry, and his passion for the game grew. Coach moved to Charlotte in 2007 and worked for Nike as part of their golf sales team. This position with Nike placed him in contact with many other top professionals, and as his knowledge increased, his golf game also improved -- resulting in his current handicap of 5. Coach Rice is enthusiastic about the life lessons that can be learned through golf and has a desire to help young people grow and mature in a Christ-like manner. He joined the CDS coaching staff in the 2021 spring season.
