RON MACOSKO
ANNA ACKER-MACOSKO
Head Coaches
email:  rpmacosko@schreiner.edu

Ron and Anna are in their second full year (third overall) as head coaches for Schreiner Men's Golf and have steadily and significantly improved the program in a short period of time, despite a very young roster of players. 

This is Ron's second stint as a college golf head coach.  He was the head men's coach (and Director of Athletics) at Concord University in Athens, WV from 1999-2002. 

Ron took over a very unsettled golf program in the fall of 1999 and completely transformed the team in one season.  Despite losing four of its top five players from the year before, the team finished second in the conference and reached the NCAA Tournament.  In the classroom, the transformation was more dramatic.  In two semesters, Concord Men's Golf went from the lowest  team GPA on campus to the highest.  During his tenure, Men's Golf finished either first or second in team GPA every semester.  On the course, Concord was a regional power.  Concord finished in the top 3 in the 15-team West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WVIAC) each year, despite having one of the lowest scholarship budgets in the league. 

In his three seasons, Ron coached 4 first-team All-WVIAC players.  Ron has a Masters degree (MS - Sports Management) from St. Thomas University (Miami, FL) and and a BBA in Marketing from Ohio University (Athens, OH). 

For Anna, coaching and teaching are a career change but it is still very similar to her first "job".  Anna was an NCAA Division I All-American golfer at the University of South Florida (Tampa, FL) and led the Bulls to a 4th place finish at the 1991 NCAA Championships - still the school's highest finish ever.  She turned pro after graduation (BS, Speech Communications) and promptly won her first pro tournament.  She retired in the summer of 2005 after a 13-year pro career - the last 10 as a member of the LPGA Tour.  Among her professional highlights is a 15th-place finish at the 1999 U.S. Women's Open played at Blackwolf Run in her home state of Wisconsin.  She has had five top-7 finishes in LPGA events, has won 11 professional tournaments.  In late 2004, she shot the second lowest round, 60 (-11), in LPGA history behind only Annika Sorenstam's 59. That score also broke the LPGA record for lowest round ever shot in a final round (for a more complete listing of Anna's playing highlights, click here).  Even though retired, Anna qualified for and played in her 8th U.S. Women's Open in the summer of 2007.  Currently, she is Teaching Professional at The Club at Comanche Trace in Kerrville.

The Macoskos came to Kerrville in August, 2005 when Ron accepted the job of Director of Athletics at Schreiner.  Anna, Ron and Ben (3/23/01), live in Kerrville.
