The Bobcats won the NCAA Southeast Regional Championship and took fourth at the NCAA Division II Championship, the highest-ever national finish for a Georgia College golf squad.

The Bobcats finished fifth at the NCAA National Tournament in 1998, 10th in 2000, tied for fifth in 2001, 10th in 2004, 15th in 2005, sixth in 2007, fourth in 2008 and fifth in 2009. Wilson has coached 20 All-Americans in his tenure with the Bobcats, including coaching a player to PBC Golfer of the Year honors five times.

Wilson graduated from Georgia College in 1986 and served as the Director of Golf at the Little Fishing Creek Golf Course in Milledgeville from 1988 to April 2007.
