Former Marquette University golfer
Michael Bielawski is going back to
school. Bielawski, a native of West Allis,
was hired as an assistant coach by Mar-
quette head coach Steve Bailey in June.
“I couldn’t be more excited to bring
Mike back to Marquette,” Bailey said.
“His passion for the Marquette golf
program and knowledge as an instructor
make him a great addition.”
Bielawski was a senior on the Golden
Eagles team that won the Big East
Championship in 2008. Bielawski ranks
seventh in program history with a career
stroke average of 75.18, and he shot 63,
the lowest tournament score ever by a
Marquette golfer, during his freshman
season.
Before college, Bielawski was a deco-
rated golfer at Nathan Hale High School
in West Allis. He was also named the WPGA
state junior player of the year in 2002.
Bielawski, who graduated from MU
with a degree in public relations and
advertising, is currently an as-
sistant golf professional
at Ozaukee
CC in Mequon. He
previously worked at
Blue Mound G&CC
in Wauwatosa.

The charity event formerly known as the
Backyard Bash has been re-branded as He-
roes for Kids in its second year of operation.
The event, the only pro-am featuring
Wisconsin’s five PGA Tour players – Steve
Stricker, Mark Wilson, Jerry Kelly, J.P. Hayes
and Skip Kendall – will be held July 29-30 at
the Legend at Brandybrook in Wales.
The name change was made to more ac-
curately reflect the event’s twin purposes –
to raise money and awareness for charities
benefitting the armed forces of the United
States and to increase the number of chil-
dren exposed to golf. Donations and pro-
ceeds will go to the Folds of Honor
Foundation, the Wounded Warrior Project
and The First Tee of Milwaukee County.
In its first year and under its former name,
the outing generated more than $270,000.
