- 22nd season as UNE Men's Golf Head Coach (2026-27)
- 3rd season as UNE Women's Golf Head Coach (2026-27)
Kasey Keenan has been the coach of the men's golf program at UNE for the last 21 years, and started the women's program in 2024-25.
The men have won at least one event in five of the last six seasons, including two in the fall of 2021. The first time the program captured a title was in 2010; the second that year was the Maine Intercollegiate Championship.
Women's golf competed in its first conference championship in the fall of 2025, just days after winning their first event at the UNE Invitational. The Nor'easters placed fourth out of six at the inaugural Conference of New England Championship, and had two players tie for first place individually. Then, in a three-way playoff for the title, Abby Flanagan dropped a birdie on the second extra hole for the victory.
Within the Athletics Department, Keenan is also the Tournament Director for the department's annual fundraiser, the Vaughn Twaddel Golf Classic. Additionally, he spent eight seasons as assistant coach for the men's basketball team between 2002-12, and served as the Coordinator of Intramural and Club Sports from his start at UNE through 2009.
