Art Henry has been the head coach of the Bellarmine University women’s golf program since 2004 after starring for the Knights men’s team as a player during his collegiate days.
During Henry’s coaching tenure, Bellarmine has sent individuals to regional competition on four separate occasions. In 2013-14, the Knights had perhaps their best season under Henry, breaking the team scoring record by seven shots.
Also during Henry’s time at Bellarmine, the Knights have annually boasted multiple WGCA (formerly NGCA) All-American Scholars. Bellarmine has placed at least two players on that prestigious academic team virtually every year since 2008, including four in 2018 and six in 2024.
Henry holds an esteemed spot in Bellarmine golf lore. He was one of the primary members on the Knights’ undefeated team of 1970 that advanced to the NCAA Small College Championship.
In addition to coaching Bellarmine’s golf program, Henry’s career has always been heavily involved in the sport. He has been the Vice President of Marketing at Louisville Golf Club Company; the First Director of the Professional Clubmaker’s Association; a club designer for Austad’s Golf, Peerless Golf and Striker Golf; and a golf instructor known as “The Swing Doctor” on the television show Inside Kentuckiana Golf.
Henry earned both his bachelor’s degree and his master’s degree from Bellarmine.
