Where are they now...

This blog is to update you on our former golfer, Jennie (Eyberg) Schader.


Jennie transferred to CU from Waldorf College and played golf at Concordia for three years from 2003-2005 and 2007-2008. She graduated with her undergraduate degree from Concordia in 2005 and her graduate degree in 2008. Jennie has been married for 4 years to her husband-Nick and they reside in St. Paul, MN with their Yorkshire terrier-Boji. She is still involved with golf, working as the Membership and Marketing Director at Hillcrest Country Club in St. Paul, MN

When asked about her favorite memory about golfing at Concordia she replies- “I have many! I was fortunate enough to be one of the very first recruits on the CU women's golf team so I would have to say that some of my favorite moments were our "growing pains" in working to become a well-established and respected Division II women's golf team. There was a lot to learn which I think Coach Higgins can attest to! I would have to say some of the memories that stick out the most to me were the car/van trips-watching Matt try to learn how to deal with a van full of girls on so many overnight trips! Our first ever spring break trip out to California will always be at the top of the list! I still can't believe Matt let us stalk Beyonce and Jay-Z for almost 2 hours!!! Of course being the first player to make it to the Regional tournament will always be a great memory too. Most of all I am thankful for the great friendships I developed while playing for CU.

Where are they now...

This blog is to update you on our former golfer, Amy (Peterson) Peck.

Amy played golf at Concordia for two years. She graduated from Concordia in 2005. Today Amy resides in Schuylerville, NY. Amy is married to Bill who is a 6th generation dairy farmer and local politician in the Schuylerville area.  She has three boys- Hansen 3 1/2 years old, Hudson- 22 months and Hayden who is 11 weeks old.  Here is a picture of their family (minus Hayden). 

Amy writes that one of her favorite CU Golf memories was "The whole thing, traveling to tournaments was always a good time!"  Amy also was a short track speed skater who participated in 5 consecutive Olympics winning 3 medals.  She stays active in the speed skating world by doing consulting coaching work but she writes "My main job is a stay-at-home mom!"

We're back!!!

Well, I know why I never started a personal blog... because I never update them!!!  We will be updating this on a more frequent basis now.  Over the winter months we will post the "where are they now" blogs, an athlete "get to know them" Q&A, and other misc. things that are happening with the Concordia University Golf Program! 

Obviously our fall season has finished.  Both programs played really well.  The men's team currently sits in third place, and the women's program is in second, after the fall portion of conference championships.  The hard work that each athlete put in over the summer paid off. I'll post some pictures of the fall very soon.

The athletes are now doing their conditioning and winter workouts.  Our first tournament of the spring will be in Palm Springs, CA.  We will be going back to the Classic Club for spring break.  This is where the men's team played their regional last year and they will be our host course for the week we are in California.  I'll write more about spring break as we get closer to March. 

I know both teams are motivated to get the spring season started.  Before you know it, the snow will be melted and we'll be out on the course again.

If you have any question or comments you can direct them to Coach Higgins.
