Doug Kaiser enters his 7th year as the men's coach, as well as, having dual coaching responsibilities leading the Lady Cougar program for the past eight years.

For the second consecutive identical season the Cougars finished fifth in the competitive Jayhawk Conference, fourth in Region VI, and sixth in the nationally packed District III Championships.   This past season the No. 23 ranked Cougars’ Natchapol “Putter” Srinoon placed eight in the conference championships while freshman Jakkapat Horsangchai went on to finish fourteenth in the District III Championships.   Coach Kaiser also saw Srinoon wrapping up his Barton career earning a PING All-District III team award presented by the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) recognizing players among the Division I ranks of the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA).

Two seasons ago Srinoon captured the 2015-16 season conference championship while Landon Fox finished the KJCCC Tournament in fourth place before an eighth place District III Championship propelled him to his second straight trip to the national championships. 

Three seasons ago Barton finished 21st in the nation at the NJCAA Division I Men's National Championship held at Spirit Hollow Golf Course in Burlington, Iowa, as the Cougars qualified for the national championships for the first time since 2006. 

It was also a season where the Cougars and Coach Kaiser saw the achievements of his first Region VI Men’s Champion and Barton’s first NJCAA All-American.  After winning the Region VI Tournament two weeks prior and becoming the first Cougar to do so since 2002, sophomore Jeremie Eloy continued to make his mark on school history becoming the first men's golfer to earn the NJCAA All-American award finishing fourteenth at the Championships.

The Cougars’ solid season in the competitive Jayhawk Conference began by placing third in the season’s first meet and remained steady in fourth place throughout the season.  Even though Barton slipped to fifth after the final week of conference play, the Cougars took fourth in the Region VI Championships to earn the NJCAA Championship berth.  

Four seasons ago, Kaiser led a young Cougar squad in improving two spots in each of the conference, region, and district standings. 

Kaiser played for Great Bend High School before becoming a top-15 Region VI Cougar golfer in the early 1980's along with former Barton Coach Steve Gotsche.

Kaiser also coaches the women’s squad.  After not fielding a complete women’s team in his first season, Coach Kaiser’s eight seasons has produced five region championships, two region runner-up finishes, seven national tournament appearances, three individual regional champions, and two NJCAA All-Americans..  More on Kaiser and the women's program
