Kevin Brunner

Coach Brunner attended Graceland in the mid 1980’s. Some of the highlights of his Yellowjacket golf career were a 5th place finish in the regional tournament in 1984 and 8th place finish in the conference tournament in 1986. He grew up in northeastern Colorado competing in many of the youth golf tournaments at both the local and state level. His High School did not have a golf team, however, he won the Colorado Junior match play championship after his graduation from High School in the summer of 1982.

After graduating from Graceland in 1986, Brunner worked in Kansas City for 12 years as a software developer. Brunner returned to Graceland in 1998 as an instructor and has been interested in helping the Graceland Golf program succeed since his return. In the fall of 2001, he provided his services as head coach to ensure the program would continue amid discussions of dropping the program. Under his leadership, the golf program is making steady progress and is regaining a competitive spirit as both teams head into competition in 2003.

Coach Brunner is married to Heather Brunner (Badder) and has three children Keeley (9), Timothy (6) and Tiffany (6).
