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



Anna and Ron just completed their first full year (second season overall) as head coaches for Schreiner Women's Golf and have big plans for the program.  In just two seasons - with a limited roster - Schreiner Women's Golf already has a player with back-to-back First Team, All-American Southwest Conference player (Surraya Minhas) and three very solid returning players.

For Anna, this marks a career change but it will be 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 on 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, and in late 2004 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 recently qualified for and played in her 8th U.S. Women's Open.  Currently, she is Teaching Professional at The Club at Comanche Trace in Kerrville.  One of her students recently won the Texas state TAPPS championship.


This is Ron's second stint as a college golf head coach.  He was the head men's coach 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. 
 

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). 

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.
