 2012 Coaching Staff
 
  Peter Reeves - Varsity Head Coach (5th Year)
                                                       Bob Kowalski - JV Head Coach (3rd Year)
The Pius XI boy’s golf team has three levels of competition: varsity, junior varsity, and freshman. Depending on the volume of players at tryouts, the freshman team is usually no cut, while the Junior Varsity and Varsity teams retain 5-7 players for each squad.
 
Home for the golf team is Muskego Lakes Country Club. We also practice at Ironwood Golf Club in Merton. Practice takes place after school between 4:00 -7:00 PM, Monday through Friday.

 

The junior varsity and freshman teams play between eight and 12 matches. The varsity competes in 14 matches each season. Most matches occur during the week. Varsity competes in a number of tournaments (Invitationals) on Saturdays. Practices kick off during the last week in March and conclude with the state tournament in early June. Pius XI is proud to be part of the highly competitive Classic 8 Conference.

 

The philosophy of our team is grounded in three principles: sportsmanship, discipline, and fun. Golf is an extremely difficult and demanding game. It is imperative each golfer do his best to maintain a positive attitude and belief in the team concept. Pius XI Golf has been selected for the sportsmanship award three of last four years in the Classic 8 Conference.

 

Parents play an important role in the success of our program, helping shuttle players to and from Pius XI for practices and fundraising at the annual pancake breakfast. Golfers and their parents conclude the year with an awards banquet

 


For the first time since the early 1980s, the boys’ golf team qualified last year for the state tournament in Madison. They reached a peak of 7th in the Journal Sentinel area rankings in 2007 and are the defending champions of the Elkhorn Golf Invitational which competes every year in March. Like their female counterparts, the boys have earned the Sportsmanship Award for the Classic 8 Conference three out of the last four years.

Philosophy: Serious fun. Practice hard, play hard, respect yourself and your competitors, and while you’re at it, enjoy yourself. Golf is a game that you can play the rest of your life. It's hard to play well but so much can be learned from mastering the game. Swing to the target.
