Calle Barlow

Calle Barlow was named the women's golf coach at the University of Richmond on June 20, 2019 after serving as an assistant coach the University of Virginia for five years.

2021-22 was Barlow's third season at Richmond but her first full season with the Spiders due to effects of COVID-19. Richmond captured the Navy Fall Invitational in October for its first win in an event with more than six teams since 2017's Bill Berg Invitational. The Spiders started their spring season with a win in the Independence Classic, with UR beating Seton Hall and Saint John's on its home course. The team played in three events in March, recording its best finish at the 14-team Kingsmill Spring Intercollegiate, where the Spiders placed fourth. At the 2022 Patriot League Championship in April, Richmond finished second by the slimmest possible margin, finishing one stroke behind Boston University. It was UR's best result in the Patriot League Championship since winning the event in 2018. The Spiders were led by sophomore Rory Weinfurther, who finished second, and junior Vicky Zhu, who tied for third. Both earned First Team All-Patriot League honors. Freshman Lauren Jones finished 10th, earning Second Team All-Patriot League honors. Weinfurther posted the third-lowest single-season stroke average in program history (75.25) and ended the season with the lowest career scoring average of any Spider to appear in at least 15 events, at 75.59.

During the 2020-21 school year, the Spiders were only able to play a spring season due to the effects of COVID-19. Barlow and the Spiders played an ambitious schedule, taking on some of nation's top teams at the Cavalier Match Play event in April and facing off against the University of Virginia and Old Dominion in early March. Richmond also played a pair of matches against William & Mary, defeating the Tribe twice, and competed in a pair of 54-hole events prior to the Patriot League Championship. The Spiders finished eighth at the River Landing Classic in March after shooting a 1-over par 289 in the final round, tied for the second-best 18-hole team score in program history. Richmond finished second in the Kingsmill Intercollegiate later that month, matching their best finish in an event with more than six teams since the fall of 2018. At the 2021 Patriot League Championship, the Spiders placed third, with freshman Rory Weinfurther winning the individual title with a score of 227 (+11). Weinfurther became the second Spider to win an individual conference title and the first freshman. Junior Emily Ward was named First Team All-Patriot League after finishing in a tie for fourth place and sophomore Vicky Zhu was named Second Team All-Patriot League after placing 10th.

In Barlow's first season at Richmond, the Spiders featured their youngest roster in years, as freshmen and sophomores combined to play more than 77 percent of (72 of 93) the team's competitive rounds. The team's development was halted in March, when Richmond and the Patriot League canceled all athletics competitions for the remainder of the calendar year due to the coronavirus.

Prior to joining the Spiders, Barlow spent five seasons as an assistant women's golf coach at the University of Virginia. Barlow, who competed as Calle Nielson, was a three-time All-American for the Cavaliers and helped UVA to four consecutive top-15 finishes at the NCAA Championships from 2008 to 2011.

During her five years on the Cavaliers staff, Virginia reached the NCAA Tournament four times. In 2015, her first full season as a coach, UVA captured the first Atlantic Coast Conference title in program history, snapping Duke's run of three straight conference titles.

The following season, the Cavaliers repeated as ACC champions and finished fifth in the stroke-play portion of the NCAA Championships. The result was UVA's first top-five finish at the NCAA Championships since placing fourth in 2012, when Barlow served as a substitute coach, her first foray into coaching.

Barlow earned All-ACC honors four times during her collegiate career and was named an All-American following her sophomore, junior, and senior seasons (2009-11). She was a three-time individual medalist for the Cavaliers, including a win at the 2010 NCAA Western Regional.

As an amateur, she was named Tennessee Women's Amateur Player of the Year four times, from 2008 to 2011. She qualified for the U.S. Amateur four times (2007, 2009-11) and won the U.S. Women's Southern Amateur in 2011. After turning pro, Barlow joined the LPGA Symetra Tour. From 2012 to 2014, she finished in the top 10 at Symetra Tour events five times, including a fourth-place finish in the 2012 Ladies Titan Tire Challenge.
