Meet the Coaches: Bill Crays - Boys Golf

How long have you been coaching golf, including your time at Plainfield?

11 years of coaching golf

Why do you coach golf?

I coach golf for the reward of watching the young men grow into adulthood. I try to help mentor them to be the best versions of themselves for their future. 

What has been your proudest or most memorable coaching moment?

I have so many proud moments from all of my players it’s hard to pick just one. The thing that I cherish the most was being able to coach my son in the state finals.

What has support from the Red Pride Booster Club meant to your program?

The team greatly benefits on the quality of courses the kids get to play from the generosity of the booster club by way of the invitational tournaments they pay for! 

What does success look like for the boys golf team this season?

I am proud of our kids cohesion and culture to succeed we have developed to bring on lifelong lessons and friendships! Plus we’re playing some great golf early in the year.
