Duncan George Kelm (born March 6, 1988) is a former USA Rugby national team member,[1][2] World Rugby Sevens Series competitor,[3][4][1] and United States Olympic Training Center resident.[5][6][7][8] As a prop and hooker, he played for the USA Rugby Men's Sevens team from 2011–2012,[9][7] and appeared in four international tournaments. Prior to his full-time move into Sevens rugby, he had numerous appearances on the USA Rugby Men's Fifteens team from 2010–2011.[10][11]

Kelm debuted for the USA Seven's team in the 2011 Gold Coast Sevens,[3][12] and went on to appear in three other World Rugby Seven Series tournaments; the 2011 Dubai Sevens,[3] 2011 South Africa Sevens,[3] and 2012 London Sevens.[4][7][13] In 2010, Kelm was named to the US Men's Fifteens Churchill Cup squad, but did not have an appearance.[14] In 2010, Kelm toured to Cordoba, Argentina with the USA Selects to compete in the Americas Rugby Championship.[15] Kelm had two appearances against the Argentina Jaguars and Canadian Selects.[11][15]

Prior to his time with the national teams, Kelm attended and played rugby at San Diego State University.[16][17][18][19] Representing SDSU, Kelm competed in the inaugural Collegiate Championship Invitational in 2010, and was selected to All-Tournament team. During his time playing for the Aztecs, he led the Aztecs to a collegiate final four appearance in Palo Alto, California.[19] During his tenure as an Aztec, Kelm was selected four times for the USA Collegiate Fifteen All American team,[20][21][22][23] and once for the USA Collegiate Sevens All American Team.[24] He represented the All Americans on three separate international and domestic tours to Cape Town, South Africa in 2009,[25][22] London, England 2010,[26][21] and Palo Alto, California in 2011.[27][28][29][20]

Kelm retired from international rugby in 2012.[citation needed]

Feeling the need to step back into a competitive environment, Kelm took to the sport of Golf. Following a disastrous first attempt at winning the clubs illustrious Member/Guest tournament, known as The Vintage Crush, with local banker/sandbagger Jonathan Graves, Kelm unceremoniously dumped the banker and looked to his rugby roots for his next partner, Peter Tiberio. The twosome went on to throttle the competition, winning Day 2 of 3 outright, and bring home the Merlot Flight title in the 2019 affair. When reached for comment, Graves could only mumble three little letters, over and over. “ABG.”
