May 13, 2008 Lacey, WA – Kevin Bishop has been hired as the new Saint Martin’s University men’s golf coach as announced by Athletic Director Bob Grisham. “We are pleased with the hiring of Kevin. He brings an excellent reputation in the golfing community as a teacher, player and student of the game,” said Grisham. “We believe that Kevin has the ability to take his strengths and be able to build a competitive team to compete at the Division II level.” Bishop, a local product out of North Thurston High School, has been a PGA golf professional for 30 years. He is currently the owner and head golf professional at the First Tee of Olympia. “I’m looking forward to working with these young people for a long time. My goal is to bring a consistently competitive and stable environment to the program,” said Bishop. “I hope to build the program around the respect for the game, if you truly respect the game of golf you tend to excel at it more.” A 1975 graduate of Seattle University, Bishop was the West Coast Athletic Conference Champion during his junior year. Bishop has also been a four time member of the Senior Hudson Cup Professional Team and won the Washington PGA Senior Open in 2005. “I hope to use my past tournament experience and teaching experience to bring the best out of the players,” said Bishop.
