Pete Gyseck

Pete Gyseck serves as the head coach of the men's and women's golf programs at Washington and Lee.

As the coach of the men's program, he has helped his golfers achieve all-conference honors six times, including mentoring Teddy Corcoran '16 to first team laurels in 2013. He also coached Mark Sowinski '14 to All-America Scholar honors, just the third player in school history to receive that award. Gyscek's 2014 squad finished second at the ODAC Championships, while Conley Hurst '17 finished as the conference's runner-up in a playoff.

Gyscek started the women's program from the ground up, beginning with a developmental varsity season in the spring of 2012. He has coached his golfers to three all-conference citations while continuing to add depth to the program.

Gyscek came to W&L following six seasons as the assistant men’s and women’s golf coach at the College of William & Mary. In this role, he was responsible for assisting the director of golf with the management and administration of both programs, including assuming the role of head coach for one of the programs when they played simultaneously.

The Tribe’s men’s and women’s programs combined to tie or break 50 school records during his tenure, including having both a man and woman set school records for season and career scoring average at the school. The men’s team finished as the Colonial Athletic Association runner-up in 2010 and the women’s team ranked among the NCAA Top 100 in each of the past two seasons, a first for the program.

In addition to his coaching experience at William & Mary, Gyscek owned and operated the Dynamic Golf Studio in Williamsburg, Va., from 2001-2008. There he maintained a PGA Retail Teaching Center that specialized in game improvement, lessons and video analysis for regional college and amateur players. Gyscek has also worked at Pro Golf Discount in Newport News, Va. (1998-2001) and was an assistant golf professional at the Royal New Kent Golf Club (1997-98) and at the Harbourtowne Resort and Conference Center (1996-97).

Gysek is a Class “A” member of the PGA of America and he has competed as a professional on several mini-tours and in the Mid-Atlantic PGA. He is also a member of the National Golf Coaches Association, and is a Certified Golf Instructor, as well as being a Master Clubfitter and Equipment Specialist.

A 1985 graduate of Niagara University with a bachelor of science in business management, Gyscek was a four-year letterwinner and three-year captain for the Purple Eagles’ golf team.
