Winger named men’s assistant golf coach at Michigan State
EAST LANSING, Mich. – Bowling Green State University men’s golf coach Garry Winger
announced Friday his resignation to accept the assistant coaching position at
Michigan State University.
"Bowling Green has been my home for the last 14 years," said Winger.
"The athletic department and community have been a second family to me. The
valuable experience I have gained at BGSU will help me continue my career at
Michigan State University."
Winger replaces former Spartan All-American Ryan Brehm on the MSU coaching staff.
Brehm resigned from his position in May to fully pursue his professional golf
career.
During Winger’s tenure at Bowling Green, the Falcons won nine team collegiate events,
in addition to 10 individual titles. Also individually, Winger has coached four
All-MAC selections and two Cleveland All-America Scholars.
Aside from the Falcons’ success on the course, Winger also has been integral in team
and athletic department fundraising, including developing the first-ever men’s
golf endowment and raising funds to build the Falcon Golf Training Center and a
wedge range at the Forrest Creason Golf Course.
While acting as head coach at BGSU, Winger also held the position of assistant
director of golf at Forrest Creason Golf Course from 1998-2004, in addition to
instructing golf course classes through BGSU’s School of Human Movement during
that time.
A 1994 BGSU graduate with a degree in business, Winger concluded his Falcon career
with the program’s lowest career scoring average (75.0), single-season scoring
average (72.4) and 54-hole record (210). A second-team All-MAC selection and MAC
Sportsmanship Award winner as a senior, Winger placed third at the MAC
Championships in 1994 and sixth in 1993.
