A graduate of McNeese State University (Lake Charles, La.), Holt earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration. He began coaching as an assistant girls golf coach at Zephyrhills (Fla.) High School from 2000 - 2002. In 2003, Holt became the men's head coach at Saint Leo (Fla.) University. Saint Leo is a NCAA division II school and competes in the Southern States Conference (SSC).

"I was attracted to the program because I coached at the collegiate level while living in Florida and I wanted to get back into it," said Coach Holt. "Holy Cross has the right combination of academics and commitment to athletics that makes this opportunity very exciting for me. My expectations are to see the men's and women's programs develop to become one of the best in the NAIA, while working with the players to make them the best athlete, student and role model that will make Holy Cross proud."

During his time in Florida, Holt was the Director of Golf/ General Manager of Ray Floyd's Whispering Oaks Golf and Country Club. He also spent time at Hidden Creek Golf Club overseeing all tournaments. Currently Holt conducts all golf instruction programs at Juday Creek Golf Club in Granger, Ind.

Bridget Slonkosky will lead the women's golf team for the very first time into competition this year. The older sister of freshman Holy Cross golfer Regina Slonkosky, Bridget is looking to make a mark this year with the team. "I came to Holy Cross to begin a women's golf program that will be competitive," says Slonkosky, "Holy Cross has a strong community, and I look forward to expanding the opportunities for women golfers at Holy Cross."

Slonkosky was a two year captain and four year varsity women's golfer at Ashland University in Ohio. While at Ashland she studied business management and marketing.

The Saints will be opening up fall play August 29th at the Robert Morris Fall Classic. They will also be playing three tournaments in September including the Pilot Invitational at Bethel on September 22nd.
