NC State women’s golf coach Darby Sligh speaks about the experiences that shaped her path—from growing up in North Augusta, South Carolina, and working the range at Augusta National to coaching at Newberry, Illinois State, and NC State. Darby shares what she learned building a program with limited resources, why connection and consistency matter when developing a team, and how the NCAA’s 50/50 postseason rule influences scheduling. Coach Sligh also discusses how college golf has changed, the importance of team chemistry, and the challenges facing women’s golf programs today.
