ANNA ACKER-MACOSKO
RON MACOSKO
Head Coaches

Anna and Ron have quickly built Schreiner Women's Golf into a nationally-ranked program.  Mountaineer Women's Golf team competed as a team for the first time at the ASC Championship Tournament in 2009 and finished a strong second place that year.  In 2010, Schreiner won the championship title and became the first SU team to play in the NCAA National Championship Tournament where the Mountaineers finished 14th.  Anna and Ron were named ASC Coaches of the Year for 2010.  Since then, Schreiner is a perennial nationally-ranked program and the team hasn't finished worse than third place at the ASC championships.  While Schreiner Golf is now recognized for its success since the duo took over, both coaches have much higher aspirations for the team and its players in the years ahead.   In its brief existence, SU has already produced 11 All-American Southwest Conference performers - and one ASC Champion (Gabby Rosales - 2011).  The women's team also has established itself as one of SU's strongest academic programs and the squad had the highest team GPA (3.47) on campus in 2011.  Schreiner now has had two Academic All-Americans in its brief history.

For both, coaching Schreiner Golf have become a labor of love.  Prior to coming to Schreiner, both had accomplished their career goals - Anna as a 10-year veteran of the LPGA Tour - and Ron, as Director of Athletics, Men's Golf coach and then tour caddie.  So in creating Schreiner Golf, it was all for the benefit of their players.

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 D-I National Championships - still the school's highest finish ever.  She turned professional after graduation (BS, Speech Communications) and promptly won her first pro tournament (Futures Tour-Naples Open).  She retired in the summer of 2005 after a 14-year pro career - including the last 10 as a member of the LPGA.  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 and 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. 

As mentioned, this is Ron's second stint as a college golf head coach.  He was the head men's golf coach at Concord University in Athens, WV from 1999-2002.  Ron took over an unsettled golf program in the fall of 1999 and completely transformed the team in one season.  The team reached the NCAA Tournament and was a top finisher in the 15-team WVIAC each year he coached the team.  In the classroom, the transformation was similarly dramatic.  In two semesters, Concord Men's Golf went from the lowest  team GPA on campus to the highest and maintained that success throughout his tenure.  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, Ben (3/23/01) and their dog Nelson, live in Kerrville.
