Lindmark returns to manage UW-Green Bay’s Shorewood Golf Course

GREEN BAY — University of Wisconsin-Green Bay Men’s Golf Coach Bill Lindmark returns to again manage the University’s Shorewood Golf Course clubhouse, pro shop and restaurant operations.

Lindmark, a 1981 UW-Green Bay graduate and Professional Golfers’ Association professional, was manager at Shorewood from 1996 to 2001. He will start as manager the first week of January and retain his duties as men’s golf coach.

Lindmark rejoined the men’s golf program as coach in 2007. He previously oversaw the program from 1992-2002 and was an assistant coach in the 1990 and 1991 campaigns. He was named Horizon League Coach of the Year in 2001 after leading the Phoenix to a second-place finish at the league championship meet.

He has also held the positions of vice president of golf operations and head professional at The Woods Golf Club in Green Bay and remains an equal-part owner of that course.

As a player, Lindmark competed three times in the Greater Milwaukee Open (now the U.S. Bank Championship) from 1992-94. He has also qualified for and played in the Nelthorpe Cup on seven occasions, an event that features the top amateurs and professionals in the state of Wisconsin.

Lindmark is a two-time winner of Door County’s Cherryland Open (1996, 2004) and participated five times in the PGA Club Professional Championship.

A round of 29 he shot in 1999 remains the Shorewood Golf Course nine-hole record.

Shorewood Golf Course is closed for the season, but gift cards, memberships, merchandise and more can be purchased by appointment by calling University Union Director Rick Warpinski at (920) 465-2090, or e-mailing him at warpinsr@uwgb.edu, or shorewood@uwgb.edu.
