EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (Blugolds.com) – The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire athletics department announced today that Mike Greer has stepped down as head coach of the men's and women's golf teams and a national search for a new coach will begin immediately.

Greer, a Class A member of the PGA of America, relinquishes his coaching duties to focus on his full-time position as a golf professional at the Eau Claire Golf & Country Club.

A four-time letter winner for the Blugolds, Greer received honorable mention All-American honors in 2004 and was named to the PING All-Central Region Team in 2007.

In his two seasons coaching the women's team, Greer led the Blugolds to two second-place finishes in the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC).

In his four years on the men's side, Greer had one player earn NCAA Division III PING All-America and another earn NCAA Division III All-Freshmen Honors, one of six in the nation to be recognized.  As a team, Greer coached the Blugolds to four tournament victories.

"It has been an honor and privilege to coach the Blugold golf program these past four years and I hope I have made a positive impact," said Greer. "I know these accomplished young golfers will continue to make the program proud on and off the course this coming spring and beyond."
