Kim Evans shares her journey from Decatur, Alabama to building Auburn Women’s Golf into a national powerhouse — and the life-changing moment that put everything into perspective.
What does golf really give you?
For Kim Evans, it was more than championships, coaching success, or building one of the most respected programs in college golf. It was relationships, resilience… and ultimately, a moment that changed everything.
In this episode, we sit down with Kim Evans — Decatur native, former Auburn Women’s Golf Head Coach, and one of the most influential figures in college golf — to talk about her journey from small-town Alabama to building an SEC powerhouse.
We cover:
- Growing up in Decatur and learning the game at Decatur Country Club
- Her path through Auburn and into the golf business
- Coaching at Georgia Tech and working with players like Stewart Cink
- Building Auburn into a national contender
- The realities of coaching, recruiting, and leading at a high level
- And the moment a simple conversation led to a decision that saved her life
This is a story about golf — but more importantly, it’s about people, perspective, and what really matters when it’s all said and done.
