University of Wisconsin-Stout Athletics

After returning to Menomonie and his hometown college, Steve Dahlby led a very talented UW-Stout golf team that captured back-to-back conference and NAIA District 14 championships in 1987 and 1988.

Dahlby returned to Menomonie after two years at NCAA Division I Northern Illinois and helped Stout advance to their first ever national team competition. Dahlby was a two-time medalist at both the WSUC and NAIA District 14 championships. During the 1988 WSUC Championships, Dahlby fired a blistering 69 in the first round, and finished with a 54-hole score of 222. During his two years, Dahlby was the medalist at eight meets.

When the Blue Devils were at the national meet, Dahlby remembers Stout was the only non-scholarship school to make the top 15.

After graduating with honors, Dahlby played on the Florida professional golf tour for two years, then became a golf instructor, eventually leading him to Troon North Golf Club in Scottsdale, Ariz., where he was responsible for all instruction activity.

Dahlby is currently the Teaching Professional at Phoenix Country Club in Phoenix, Ariz.  Dahlby's current and former players have won 18 times on the PGA, LPGA, Korn Ferry and Australian Tours.  Dahlby has worked with and continues to coach a number of top ranked college and junior players.  He began his coaching career with the Golf Digest Schools in the 1990s and early 2000s and has served as the PGA Director of Instruction at Troon North Golf Club from 1996-2007 and Forest Highlands Golf Club from 2007-2013.  Steve lives in Scottsdale, Ariz., with his wife Amy and two sons, Andrew and Matthew.

Dahlby was selected to the WIAC All-Time Men's Golf team in 2012.
