Coach Chris Malloy worked College Golf Camps – Orlando in 2013. Coach Malloy will be attending College Golf Camps – Hilton in July and College Golf Camps – Orlando in August.

Mississippi alum Chris Malloy has been named the men’s head golf coach of the Rebels on Monday.

“I am extremely excited to return to my alma mater (2001) as the head coach of this program,” Malloy said. “Anyone that has ever been to Oxford knows how special of a place it truly is. There is no other college town like it in the country. Anyone that knows me can also attest to my passion for Ole Miss athletics as well. This is an opportunity of a lifetime for me and my family and I am extremely excited to get back home and win a national championship as a Rebel.”

Malloy heads to Ole Miss after stints at South Florida (head coach, 2010-14) and Florida State (assistant coach, 2006-2010).

At South Florida, he led the Bulls to their first Big East Conference title in 2013 while being named the Big East Coach of the Year. Chase Koepka was named Big East Player of the Year and Freshman of the Year under Malloy.

In 2014, South Florida joined the American Athletic Conference and finished fourth in the conference championship. The Bulls finished 10th at the NCAA San Antonio Regional. Malloy and South Florida finished 33rd in the Golfweek/Sagarin College Rankings.

“It is extremely difficult to walk away from a group of guys that I consider my family,” Malloy said of leaving South Florida. “We have had a great run over the last couple of years and this is a very special group. I look forward to watching them continue to rewrite the record books for many years to come. I want to also thank USF for giving me my first opportunity as a head coach. This is a first class organization.”

During his playing days at Mississippi, Malloy led the Rebels to a 24th-place finish at the NCAA Championship 1999 and an 11th-place finish at the NCAA East Regional in 2000 as a two-year letter winner and team captain.

4 Reasons Why You Should Never Fly With Your Golf Clubs

Golf trips are fun.

Flying with your clubs isn’t.

Between getting to the airport, boarding your flight and making sure you didn’t forget anything, you’ve got enough on your mind. Why add to that by worrying about your golf clubs?

With ShipSticks, you don’t have to worry about anything except safely getting to your destination. All you have to do is schedule your pickup, fill out a shipping form and leave the rest to us. We’ll make your travel experience better by providing you with a number of benefits that you simply can’t get by flying with your clubs, including:
Can you picture a worse scenario than getting off your plane, going to the baggage claim and not seeing your golf bag come around on the conveyor? An estimated 26 million baggage items are lost by airlines every year and if you’re on a golf trip, lost clubs are an absolute nightmare.

Reason #1. Added Assurance

With ShipSticks you don’t have to worry about your clubs getting lost by the airline. We pick them up and we ship them out. After you’re clubs leave the house, you don’t even have to think about them again until they’re at the front desk of your hotel.
Golf clubs aren’t fragile but they’re certainly not made to be tossed around. Your driver and fairway woods in particular, are highly susceptible to dings and dents caused by rough handling. A hardcase for your clubs can add some protection but it doesn’t guarantee anything. Most airlines assure you that baggage handlers are taking good care of your clubs but when they’re trying to get a plane fully loaded in 15 minutes, that doesn’t leave a lot of time to pack things in nicely.
In addition, most airlines won’t even cover your equipment in the event that it gets damaged. ShipSticks offers $1,000 of baseline insurance and even allows you to insure up to $3,500 if you want. Thousands of people every year hand their clubs off at the baggage desk in perfect condition only to find them dinged up when they arrive at their destination. Don’t be one of those people. Ship your clubs with ShipSticks.
Airline tickets are expensive enough. The last thing you need is to have to fork over an extra $120 dollars to carry your clubs with you. Sure, shipping your clubs costs money too but unlike an airline we don’t require you to lug them with you everywhere you go. In fact, you can get your clubs from New York to LA for just $59.99, and with $200 consequential insurance for delayed shipments, you can be sure you’re getting your money’s worth.

Reason #2. No Damage To Equipment

Reason #3. Insurance

Reason #4. No Added Baggage Costs
