The 2014-15 campaign is the fifth for Marty Schiene as the men’s golf coach at Chicago State.
 
Schiene guided CSU to their best season in years in 2013-14. The squad earned three sub-300 rounds with 298’s at the Green Bay Invitational and Troll Classic as well as a 299 at the PGA Minority Championship. The Cougars posted a four-player team average of 315.95, missing a new program record by less than two strokes. The 315.95 average is a 42 stroke improvement from the year prior to Schiene's arrival at Chicago State.
 
Chicago State’s success in 2013-14 was thanks in part to Schiene recruit David Keenan. The 2012-13 junior college national champion recorded the third best single season average (76.4) in school history. Keenan was named the Western Athletic Conference Golfer of the Week (April 9, 2014) and won individual titles at the Western Illinois Beu/Mussatto Invite and Green Bay Shootout, the Cougars’ first individual championships since 2005-06.
 
Schiene played college golf at the University of Illinois. He graduated with a business degree from Illinois and earned All-Big Ten and All-America honors.
 
He competed for 15 years on the Canadian, South African, Asian and Australian Tours. He was a member of the PGA Tour in 1993. Schiene competed in four U.S. Opens and won the Illinois Open three times. He also won the 1997 Nevada Open and took home the Dunes Invitational title twice.
