Position: Varsity Head Coach
Bob Broman joined the WA Coaching Staff as Head Golf Coach in 2000. At other schools, Bob has had experience coaching swimming, soccer and basketball.
In the eight prior years of Bob’s tenure, the golf program has compiled a dual match record of 83 wins and 22 losses. WA teams have earned five IHSA Regional Championships, one IHSA Sectional Championship, and three PSL Conference Championships. In seven of the eight years, at least one player has advanced to the IHSA State Championship Finals with two of them earning all-state honors. The Golf Team placed fifth at the State Finals in both 2005 and 2007. Five graduates have continued their competitive golf careers at colleges and universities, another graduate is a member of the PGA of America and yet another is an apprentice member. Bob has twice been voted Coach of the Year by the other golf coaches in the Private School League.
Bob believes that the game of golf provides an opportunity to teach certain godly virtues that perhaps is not available in any other sport. Since golf requires players to call penalties on themselves, a higher level of integrity, honesty, and knowledge of the rules is expected of golfers than is required in sports where officials are present to make calls during competitions.
Bob also serves as the Director of Development and Business Operations for Wheaton Christian Grammar School. He is married and has three adult children, all of whom attended and graduated from Wheaton Academy. He and his wife attend Faith Baptist Church of Winfield and are actively involved in several of the church’s ministries.
