Walter Zembriski (born May 24, 1935) is an American professional golfer who played on the PGA Tour and the Senior PGA Tour.

Zembriski was born in Mahwah, New Jersey.[1] He taught himself how to play golf while working as a caddie at Out of Bounds Golf Club in Mahwah. His father, Stanley, also worked as a caddie at the same club, and caddied regularly for Babe Ruth.[2][3]

Zembriski had a brief stint on the PGA Tour in his early thirties after earning his card in 1967. During his middle and late thirties, he worked as an ironworker building high rises along the Jersey Shore. He spent the ten years of his forties playing on the Florida mini tour.[3] He qualified twice for the U.S. Open during this period: 1978 and 1982.[2]

Zembriski's greatest success in professional golf came on the Senior PGA Tour, where he earned three victories.

Zembriski now lives in Orlando, Florida and still plays golf regularly.
