Markus Schulz was a stand-out golfer for SC4 in the late 70s, early 80s. He helped lead the team to qualify for the State Tournament both years while at SC4, playing as the number one spot both years. After his time playing for SC4, he helped coach with Ross Green and Dale Vos. 

Schulz said, “I enjoyed my time here so much that I helped the coach too. The community college has always been a part of the community, and I love to support the college and community. All three children went to SC4 too!”

Schulz’s inspiration for playing golf was his father – Gunter Schulz – who introduced Markus to the game when he was about 12 years old. Schulz always enjoyed golf, but got serious about the game in college. During and after college, he and his father played in many tournaments together before his father’s passing. 

After his time at SC4, Schulz won several Michigan Opens and qualified for the Amateur several times, even qualifying for match play a few times. He has won the McDonald Amateur twice – an international tournament including St. Clair, Macomb and Lambton counties that he took over as sponsor for to keep it alive. Schulz has been Club Champion at Port Huron Golf Club 13 times, and had many second-place finished as well.

Additionally, Schulz has qualified three times for the Atlas Trophy Matches (top 12 amateurs in private golf clubs vs. top 12 in public clubs in Michigan). He has competed and won club invitationals all over Michigan as well as the United States.

Schulz and his family own all the McDonald’s locations in St. Clair County and his son Dieter and daughter Erika own some more locations in Macomb County. His other daughter Karlee is at Baker College in the food program. He and his wife Jean spend the winters in Florida and enjoy spending time with their grandchildren.
