MONTREAL – Antoine St-Jean has been appointed head coach of the McGill University men's and women's varsity golf teams. Certified as an instructor by the Professional Golfers' Association of Canada, the resident of Terrebonne, Que., has previously worked with Bill Glasson from the men's PGA Tour.
 
Originally from the Mirabel – St. Augustin region, the 36-year-old St-Jean brings an extensive background as a golf pro and instructor at various Quebec-based clubs, including stints at Le Challenger (2001-2003), Le Blainvillier (2004-2005), Le Boisé (2006-2015), Palmeraie-Marrakesh (2009-2010) and most recently Fontainebleu, where he initiated a Golf Academy and has served as the head teaching pro since 2015.
 
A 2001 graduate of Collège Lionel-Groulx in Ste. Thérèse, Que., the bilingual St-Jean also received a 2002 certificate in golf club management from Collège Laflèche in Trois-Rivières, Que.
 
He replaces Robert Dubeau, the former director of athletics at McGill who recently stepped down after 11 years as head coach. Dubeau, who re-launched the program in 2006 after a 34-year absence, guided McGill to six appearances at the national championships, five for the Redmen and one for the Martlets. He has agreed to remain associated with the program in an administrative capacity.
