Kenosha native Carly Werwie-Swartz was named the Director of Golf at Parkside on Friday, Aug. 5 of 2022.
In high school, Werwie-Swartz starred at Bradford where she led the Red Devils to the WIAA Division 1 state championship in 2005. She also won two individual state titles and added a runner-up finish before being named the Wisconsin Women’s Amateur Player of the Year.
In college, Werwie-Swartz played at the University of Wisconsin from 2008-12. She still holds a share of the 72-hole school scoring record with a 296 at the 2010 Big Ten Conference Championship and ranks 13th in program history in career scoring average with a 77.35.
After competing for three years on the LPGA Symetra Tour — now Epson Tour — where she qualified for the final stage of the association’s Q-School on three occasions, Werwie-Swartz served as a graduate assistant at Carthage College from 2016-18.
Prior to being hired by Parkside, Werwie-Swartz spent four seasons as the head women’s golf coach at NCAA Division I Loyola University Chicago, leading the Ramblers to one of the best seasons in school history in 2021-22 in which they broke multiple school records and posted the lowest single-season scoring average in program history.
In mid-June of 2022, Werwie-Swartz tied for third place in the Wisconsin State Women’s Open.
