INDIANAPOLIS – University of Indianapolis Interim Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Dr. D. Scott Gines announced on Friday the hiring of Andrew Serketich as the school’s new men’s and women’s golf head coach.
 
“I’m honored to announce a new leadership era in UIndy women’s and men’s golf,” said Gines. “Andrew is a consummate teacher-coach, gifted in talent identification, present and in the moment with his athletes, alumni, and donors, and he gives his full effort toward the development and success of his programs.”
 
“Thank you to Dr. Gines, Mr. Shaheen, and everyone at UIndy for the opportunity to join an outstanding university and athletic department,” said Serketich. “I am excited to lead our golf programs and understand the responsibility and tradition of excellence that has been established over the years.”
 
Serketich spent the past year as an Assistant Coach and Director of Operations at the University of Notre Dame, supporting both the men’s and women’s golf teams. While in South Bend, Serketich assisted with practice plans and implementation for both programs, along with operating the teams’ social media accounts.
 
Prior to Notre Dame, Serketich served as Head Coach of his alma mater Queens University of Charlotte, which included the department’s transition to NCAA Division I. While the men’s head coach from 2017-23, the Royals won two South Atlantic Conference (SAC) championships and had seven All-SAC selections. In its first season as a member of NCAA Division I in 2022, Queens set a new 18-hole program record at the ASUN Championships with a team score of 272 in the second round.
 
Other notable accomplishments for Serketich as Queens’ head coach include developing two All-Americans in back-to-back seasons in 2019 and 2020, fundraising between $20-30k per year for the program, hosting a tournament from 2017-21, and coaching six different players that shot 66 or better in a single round.
 
Serketich also served as an assistant coach at Queens from 2008-10 for both the women’s and men’s golf programs, followed by a promotion to Associate Head Coach for the men’s team until 2014. In his role, Serketich guided the Royals to their first-ever appearance at the NCAA Championships, as well as their first Conference Carolinas conference titles in 2011 and 2013. 
 
Upon graduation from Queens in 2007, Serketich was an Assistant Golf Professional at Whistling Straits until September 2008. 
 

In between stints at Queens, Serketich worked as the Tour Manager and Brand Manager for Red Moon Marketing and Marketing Analyst & Project Manager for Daimler Trucks North America. Serketich earned his MBA from Queens in 2012.
 
Serketich concluded: “I cannot wait to get to Indy and get started. Go Hounds!”
 
Serketich will begin his duties on August 26.
