HistoryThe University of Notre Dame du Lac •was founded in 1842 by Father Edward Sorin. Adjacent to South Bend, Ind., and nestled next to Saint Mary’s and Saint Joseph’s Lakes, the University was started with $310 in cash and three log buildings in disrepair.

Notre Dame would establish many •firsts for Catholic institutions of higher learning, including the first Catholic law school, the first Catholic engineering school and the first student residence with private rooms, Sorin Hall.

AcademicsThe University is organized into four •colleges - Arts and Letters, Science, Engineering and the Mendoza College of Business - the School of Architecture, the Law School, the Graduate School, six major research institutes, more than 40 centers and special programs and the University library system.

Notre Dame is rated among the nation’s •top 25 institutions of higher learning in surveys conducted by U.S. News and World Report, Princeton Review, Time, Kiplinger’s, and Kaplan/Newsweek.

Notre Dame ranks fifth in a listing of •“dream schools” in a survey of parents by the Princeton Review. The top five are Princeton, Stanford, Harvard, New York University and Notre Dame.

Notre Dame is among a select group of •schools that ranks in the top 25 on the U.S. News & World Report survey of the nation’s top colleges and in the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics Directors’ Cup for overall success in athletics.

StudentsGraduate and undergraduate students •at the University come from all 50 states and more than 100 countries worldwide.

Notre Dame’s graduation rate of 95 •percent is exceeded by only Harvard and Princeton.

Notre Dame’s 98 percent retention rate •between the freshman and sophomore years is among the highest in the country, thanks in large part to the University’s unique First Year of Studies Program.

Notre Dame has one of the highest •undergraduate residential concentrations of any national university, with 80 percent of its students living in 27 residence halls.

The medical school acceptance rate of •the University’s preprofessional studies graduates is 80 percent, almost twice the national average.

Notre Dame ranks first among Catholic •universities in the number of doctorates earned by its undergraduate alumni - a record compiled over some 85 years.

ServiceCommunity service is a hallmark of •Notre Dame. About 80 percent of Notre Dame students engage in some form of voluntary community service during their years at the University, and at least 10 percent devote a year or more after graduation to service in the United States and around the world.

The University’s • Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE) annually sends 180 recent graduates to teach in some 100 understaffed Catholic schools in the southern, southeastern and southwestern United States and in South Bend. A national model, ACE has received the Higher Education Award from the Corporation for National Service for leadership in using national service resources through AmeriCorps.

AlumniThe University’s network of 270 alumni •clubs -- including 60 international clubs -- is the most extensive in higher education.

With graduates renowned for their •loyalty and generosity, Notre Dame annually ranks among the top five in percentage of alumni who contribute to the University.

Exceptional EducationSince its founding, Notre Dame has stressed mixing academics with

faith and has done so while becoming one of the top institutions of higher learning in the nation. Featuring five undergraduate colleges (Arts and Letters, Science, Architecture, Engineering and Business), the First Year of Studies, the Graduate School and the Law School, the University finds itself attracting some of the top students and faculty in the country. Students also participate in cutting edge research and diverse study abroad opportunities, enabling Notre Dame to offer one of the top academic experiences in the world.

First year of StudiesThe First Year of Studies program provides all first-year students with

the opportunity to gain a wide-ranging liberal arts background before choosing a specific major within Notre Dame’s five undergraduate col-leges. A progressive advising program for all student-athletes enables the University to follow the academic progress of all student-athletes on a regular basis. Key to the program is the fact that it is not run by the athletics department but by the University administration.

Student-Athlete SuccessNotre Dame expects the best out of its student-athletes just as it

does of every other student on campus. Notre Dame has had unprec-edented academic success among its athletes, consistently ranking among the top NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision schools in graduation rates and academic progress. With more Academic All-Americans than any other school since 2000, Irish athletes have shown themselves ca-pable of performing in the classroom while competing on the field at an elite level.

14Programs honored by the NCAA for Academic Progress Rate scores in 2009, more than any other of the 119 Football Bowl Subdivision uni-versities. The APR measures multi-year academic success by team members.

9Irish teams which recorded a perfect score of 1,000 in the NCAA’s 2009 Academic Progress Rate report, more than any other Football Bowl Subdivision institution. Notre Dame also had 11 additional programs with scores of 990 or bet-ter and all 26 varsity teams placed above NCAA standards.

19Programs which achieved a perfect 100 percent graduation rate according to the NCAA’s Gradu-ation Success Rate, second most among Football Bowl Subdivision institutions.

While no athlete plans on an injury, Notre Dame is prepared with one of the top sports medicine teams in the country to help keep its athletes fit and ready to compete. With training facilities in the Joyce Center, Notre Dame Stadium and the Guglielmino Athletics Complex, the training staff is always there to care for athletes. With approximate-ly 200 years combined experience on the full-time staff, Notre Dame also boasts a partnership with the renowned South Bend Orthopae-dics to provide first-class care.

The task of keeping athletes in top physical condition is up to the strength & conditioning staff. The strength and conditioning staff knows the demands of competing on an elite level and is committed to ensuring Irish athletes are always in the best possible condition. From weight lifting to wind sprints and from warming up to cooling down, the strength and conditioning staff has every aspect covered.

When Father Edward F. Sorin started his school in the northern In-diana wilderness, he had only $300, three log buildings badly in need of repair and a far-sighted vision of establishing a liberal arts school to meet the growing educational needs of the frontier. He dreamed of building a great university, and in 1842, he founded the University of Notre Dame du Lac.

Over the years, the University of Notre Dame du Lac would evolve into a preeminent place for Catholic thought. While becoming one of the top undergraduate institutions in the country, Notre Dame has also been at the cutting edge of research, including such innovations as the transmission of wireless messages and the development of syn-thetic rubber. The University also has stressed residential life, with four of five students living on campus. Students come to Notre Dame not only to learn how to think, but to learn how to live, keeping faith with the vision of Father Sorin.

1842The University of Notre Dame was founded by Rev. Edward F. Sorin, C.S.C., as an independent, national Catholic university adjacent to South Bend, Ind., on St. Mary’s and St. Joseph’s Lakes.

Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C, took office as the 17th president of the University of Notre Dame on July 1, 2005. He was elected by the Uni-versity’s Board of Trustees to a five-year term April 30, 2004.

An associate professor of philosophy and member of Notre Dame’s faculty since 1990, Father Jenkins had served as a vice president and associate provost at the University from July 2000 until becoming president.

Prior to his service in the provost’s office, Father Jenkins had been religious superior of the Holy Cross priests and brothers at Notre Dame for three years. As religious superior, he was a Fellow and Trustee of the University.

Father Jenkins specializes in the areas of ancient philosophy, medieval phi-losophy and the philosophy of religion. He is the author of Knowledge and Faith in Thomas Aquinas, published by Cam-bridge University Press in 1997.

Father Jenkins earned degrees in phi-losophy from Oxford University in 1987 and 1989. He earned his master of divin-ity degree and licentiate in sacred theol-ogy from the Jesuit School of Theology in Berkeley, Calif., in 1988. Prior to entering the Congregation of Holy Cross, he earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in philoso-phy from Notre Dame in 1976 and 1978, re-spectively.

Father Jenkins was ordained a priest in Notre Dame’s Basilica of the Sacred Heart in 1983. He served as director of the Old College program for Notre Dame undergraduate candidates for the Congregation of Holy Cross from 1991 to 1993.

A native of Omaha, Neb., Father Jenkins was born Dec. 17, 1953.

Jack SwarbrickDirector of Athletics

John B. “Jack” Swarbrick Jr., a University of Notre Dame graduate who has risen to national prominence as a lawyer, consultant, and ex-ecutive in the collegiate and Olympic sports industries, is in his second year as director of athletics at his alma mater.

His first year on campus in 2008-09 featured the announcement of plans for a new, free-standing ice hockey arena; creation of an athletic administrative division to enhance athletic performance — plus 35 All-Americans, eight Academic All-Americans and four NCAA post-graduate Scholarship winners.

Notre Dame teams in 2008-09 finished as the NCAA runner-up in both women’s soccer (26-1, led by Hermann Trophy winner Kerri Hanks) and fencing (men 33-0, women 32-2), while the women’s tennis squad advanced to the NCAA semifinals. The Irish men’s soccer squad was seeded 14th in the NCAA bracket, while the hockey team ranked fourth in the final poll after winning CCHA regular-season and postseason crowns. Men’s lacrosse finished unbeaten in the regular season (and second in the final poll) -- and women’s lacrosse won its first BIG EAST title.

Notre Dame also ranked number one in the country (among Football Bowl Subdivision schools) in the most recent Graduation Success Rate (GSR) numbers with a 98 for all student-athletes. The 2009 Academic Progress Rate (APR) statistics included more perfect 1,000 scores by Irish teams (nine) than by any other FBS institution.

Raised in Yonkers, N.Y., and Bloomington, Ind., Swarbrick is a 1976 magna cum laude graduate of Notre Dame with a bachelor’s degree in economics. Upon graduating from Stanford University Law School in 1980, he returned to Indiana to accept a position as an associate in the Indianapolis law firm Baker & Daniels. He was made partner in 1987 and spent 28 years overall with the firm.

As a member of the Indiana Sports Corporation, including the chairmanship from 1992 to 2001, Swarbrick’s leadership efforts resulted in the city earning the bid to host the 2012 Su-per Bowl; becoming the home of the NCAA headquarters; and hosting the 1987 Pan American Games, the 1991 World Gym-nastics Championships, NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Fours, and other college championship competitions plus a wide array of national and world championships in the Olympic sports.

He served as sports commissioner of the 1982 U.S. Olympic Festival in Indianapolis, competition director of the ’87 Pan American Games, and chairman of the ’91 World Gymnastics Championships. Swarbrick has served as general counsel for nu-merous national governing bodies of Olympic sports, including USA Gymnastics and USRowing.

Born March 19, 1954, Swarbrick and his wife Kimberly are the parents of four children: Kate, a senior at Saint Louis University; Connor, a junior at Wake Forest University; Cal, a senior in high school; and Christopher, a high school junior.

In the midst of a master plan that will touch nearly every varsity team, Notre Dame has shown its commitment to providing athletes with the best possible facilities to help them compete on a national level. From new facilities to the extensive renovation of existing ones, Notre Dame is committed to giving Irish athletes every edge imagin-able. The plan will result in a drastically altered footprint on the south-east corner of campus, creating an athletics quad that will give every Irish athlete a place they will be proud to call home.

3New athletics facilities which will open on cam-pus during the 2009-10 year. Alumni Stadium will be the new home for men’s and women’s soccer; Purcell Pavilion renovation and expansion of the Joyce Center arena will be completed; and Arlot-ta Family Stadium will open as the new home for the men’s and women’s lacrosse teams.

New facilities which have opened their doors in the past five years, including the Guglielmino Athletics Complex (housing football offices and locker room, a new weight room and new sports medicine facilities), the LaBar Practice Complex (featuring two Field Turf fields and one natural grass field) and Melissa Cook Stadium (home of the Irish softball team).

26.3Million dollars being spent on Purcell Pavilion for additions and renovations to the Joyce Center arena. Purcell Pavilion at the Joyce Center will feature a three-story addition with club seating, a hospitality area, additional area for restrooms and concessions, as well as new space for the Varsity Shop and the Notre Dame ticket office.

4Facilities which are still on the master plan to create a comprehensive athletic quad. The track and field teams, the hockey program, the tennis squads and the rowing team all will receive new facilities in the near future.

In addition to academic success, Notre Dame emphasizes giving back to the community as well. Notre Dame athletes have participated in countless service projects through the years, benefiting the Notre Dame and South Bend communities and beyond. Team and individual projects have allowed Irish athletes to see the positive impact they have in the lives of others and learn how to use their talents to benefit those in their communities.

5,500Hours of community service completed by Notre Dame student-athletes during the 2008-09 school year.

Season in Review

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish played in the NCAA Central

Regional for the third consecutive season, marking the

first time in program history the Irish have appeared in

three consecutive NCAA Championship fields. The Irish

also had three All-BIG EAST honorees.


One of the Irish players who seemed to benefit most from the early start to the 2009-10 season was sophomore Becca Huffer, who turned in a top-15 showing in her first seven events of the season. She kept up her torrid play and went on to be named the Notre Dame Monogram Club’s Team MVP after narrowly missing out on becoming the first player in program history to qualify for the finals of NCAA Championship play. Huffer did finish at 15-over par at the NCAA Central Regional to tie for 16th, marking the best finish by an Irish golfer in NCAA play.

“Becca is a very skilled golfer,” said Holt. “I think her best asset is her imagination because she is able to create so many shots in her mind then step up and execute those shots like no other player I have been around. It is a true gift she has that I think really sets her apart from so many other players. She puts herself in tough situations in practice and just finds a way to create a shot.”

Huffer built upon an impressive freshman season in which she earned BIG EAST Freshman of the Year honors to lead the Irish with a 74.90 stroke average in the 2009-10 season.

“I think Becca was able to improve upon last year because she sets lofty goals which keeps her striving to be better tomorrow than she is today,” added Holt.

Huffer carded her best round of the year, a minus-two 70, at the Windy City Collegiate. She also had an even-par 70 in

the opening round of the SunTrust Lady Gator Invitational. She ended with an even par total (74-70-72-216/E) at the Windy City Collegiate to mark her career-best, three-round total and, by tying for fifth, her best finish of the season. Prior to NCAA Central Regional play, she finished tied for seventh at the BIG EAST Championship (81-78-

75-234/+18) on her way to being named to the 2009-10 All-BIG EAST team; her second such honor in as many seasons.

Notre Dame’s other top performers of the 2009-10 season included All-BIG EAST selections Annie Brophy, a senior, and junior Katie Conway. With the honor, Brophy became just the second player in program history to earn four All-BIG EAST hon-ors, joining Noriko Nakazaki in that elite club. Brophy’s top showing of the season came at the Alamo Invitational, where she fired a minus-two 70 (tying for the second-best round of her Irish career) in the event’s only round to tie for medalist honors. Having already earned medalist honors at the 2008 BIG EAST Championship, Brophy became just the fifth player in program history to win multiple titles for the Irish.

“Annie was a BIG EAST individual champion her sophomore year which is a great accomplish-ment in itself, and she had another great win at the UTSA event her senior year which was against some really good competition,” said Holt. “To me, this was a real good reality check for Annie. There are many strong points to her game; she just needs to fine tune some aspects and she will be as good as she wants to be.

Brophy’s best three-round total came at the Windy City Collegiate, where she finished at one-over par (217) and tied for sixth. Her one-over par total was aided by an opening round three-under par 69, marking the best round of her Irish career and tying for the fifth-lowest round in program his-tory. Brophy went on to finish tied for second at the 2010 BIG EAST Championship.

Conway earned her first All-BIG EAST honor after placing third on the team with a 78.17 stroke average. Along with Huffer and Brophy, Conway was one of just three Irish players to tee it up as a member of the Notre Dame starting five at all 11

The Irish began the 2009-10 campaign with a preseason trip to Ireland where they played some of the most prestigious courses the Emerald Isle had to offer, including scenic Old Head.

After opening the 2009-10 campaign with a preseason trip to Ireland, the Fighting Irish women’s golf team racked up an approximate 15,500 miles of travel over the course of what turned out to be a 10-month season. Head coach Susan Holt and the Irish can now look back on a year that will best be remembered for an unprecedented third consecu-tive NCAA Regional appearance. The Irish also had several impressive individual finishes throughout the 22nd season of women’s varsity golf at the University of Notre Dame.

The team visited the Emerald Isle from Aug. 9-16 and golfed five historic courses as part of a preseason trip to the southwest portion of the Ireland. The team played their first round at the Waterville Golf Club and then took on the Tralee Golf Club. A midweek round at the Killarney Golf & Fishing Club was more reminiscent of courses the team encountered on a tournament-by-tourna-ment basis during the season. Then they played the visually stunning, and often intimidating, Old Head Golf Links before closing out the trip with 18-holes of play at the famed Ballybunion Golf Club.

“It was an awesome experience to play golf the way it was meant to be played,” said Irish head coach Susan Holt. “We are so spoiled here in the states with how our courses are kept up and main-tained.”

Though the trip was packed with golf, the Irish found time to sightsee and learn about the Irish culture, highlighted by trips to the Cliffs of Moher, the Aillwee Caves and the Blarney Castle.

“It was a great team bonding opportunity as well,” added Holt. “There were many references made about our trip throughout the rest of the season and the great time we had.”

events in 2009-10.

“Katie had a solid junior year after struggling at the end of her sophomore year,” said Holt. “She matured a lot, which allowed her to play more con-sistently.

Conway’s best finish came at the Alamo Invitational, where she tied for 13th. She turned in an opening round 70 at the SunTrust Lady Gator Invitational for her best round of the season and it matched her lowest career stroke total with the Irish, having previously netted a 70 in the third round of the 2008 Heather Farr Memorial.

“The team will need her to continue to mature and do even better her senior year and I think her best golf at Notre Dame is yet to come,” concluded Holt.

Other top individual performances included So-Hyun Park’s tie for eighth at the Bettie Lou Evans invite, where she fired a first round 75 and, after the second round was cancelled due to rain, followed with a one-over par 72 in the final round of play. Through three seasons of play, Park now ranks third in career stroke average with a 76.19

mark and fifth in rounds counted towards the team score with an 87.4 percentage (83 of 95).

Katie Allare made her collegiate debut as an indi-vidual entrant at the Bettie Lou Evans Invite and eventually worked her way into Notre Dame’s start-ing five for postseason play. In the opening round of the 2010 BIG EAST Championship, her first round of play with the team, Allare led the Irish by carding a 78. She went on to finish tied for 15th at the event.

As a team, the Irish recorded a 306.60 stroke average – the fourth best mark in program history. Notre Dame’s best finish of the season came at the Alamo Invitational when the Irish shot a combined four-over par 292 to tie for second in the 12-team field. While Brophy earned co-medalist honors at the event, Huffer, Park and Conway all fired two-over par 74s to round out the scoring. Notre Dame also finished third at the Bettie Lou Evans Invite (tie) and at the 2010 BIG EAST Championship.

The Irish, having firmly established themselves as a fixture in NCAA Regional play, will be looking to make the leap to next season’s championship field

Becca Huffer led the Irish with a 74.90 stroke average on the season and now owns the best career mark in program history at 75.24.

without the services of Brophy, who wrapped up her four years having played 126 competitive rounds for the Irish and posting the fourth best stroke average in program history (76.60).

“Annie will be a real loss for our program on and off the course because she was a great leader by example in so many ways,” said Holt. “She was vocal and could back it up with her own play, which her teammates respected. We will need some others to step up and fill the leadership role on this team as we move on. Annie is a great person with a great heart who did a lot of community service projects and did a great job getting her teammates involved.”

Though replacing Brophy in the lineup and in the locker room will be difficult, Holt and assistant coach Kyle Lynne Veltri are bringing in another highly touted duo of recruits who should help the Irish reach their goals for years to come. The class is led by Nicole Zhang of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, who became the first member of the Notre Dame women’s golf program to qualify for the U.S. Women’s Open when she earned a 2010 invite by virtue of finishing fourth at a qualifying event at the Pinnacle Peak Country Club. Zhang will arrive at Notre Dame in the fall as the 10th-ranked recruit for the class of 2010 according to Golfweek. She is joined by Kristina Nhim of Buena Park, Calif., who is the 43rd-ranked recruit for the class of 2010 according to Golfweek.

With Huffer and Conway coming off impressive 2009-10 seasons and Katie Allare looking to build on the momentum that allowed her to contribute to the team during the postseason, the Irish are looking forward to a successful 2010-11 season. Notre Dame will have an even better chance to advance beyond regional play next season because it will play host to the 2011 NCAA Central Regional at their own Warren Golf Course. Add an impressive incoming freshman class of Zhang and Nhim com-bined with a return to form by Park, who earned the program’s first All-American honor in 2008, to the other factors and Notre Dame could be poised to make the final breakthrough into the NCAA Championship field in 2011.

Coaching Staff

In four seasons together, head coach Susan Holt (center) and assistant coach

Kyle Lynne Veltri (left) have led the Fighting Irish women’s golf program to

three consecutive NCAA appearances. The team has posted the top-four

scoring averages in program history in Holt’s four seasons at the helm. Holt

and Veltri also have brought in four top-25 ranked recruits.


HeadCoach

In four seasons as the Fighting Irish women’s golf head coach, Susan Holt has ushered the pro-gram into a period of unprecedented success that includes an active streak of three consecutive NCAA Regional appearances and the top-four season stroke averages in program history. In Holt’s tenure, the Irish have won six tournaments, includ-ing the 2008 BIG EAST Championship, while her players have garnered medalist honors on five occasions.

Holt was introduced as head coach of the University of Notre Dame women’s golf program in August of 2006. She became the second full-time head coach in the history of the Fighting Irish program and the fourth overall since women’s golf became a varsity sport prior to the 1988-89 sea-son.

In her fourth season, Holt led the Irish to a third consecutive NCAA Central Regional appear-ance – the first time Notre Dame has played in three straight NCAA Regional fields – and led the Irish to the fourth-best season stroke average with a 306.60 mark. Notre Dame’s best finish of the season came at the Alamo Invitational when the Irish shot a com-bined four-over par 292 to tie for second in the 12-team field. While Annie Brophy earned co-medalist honors at the event, Becca Huffer, So-Hyun Park and Katie Conway all fired two-over par 74s to round out the scoring. Notre Dame also finished third at both the Bettie Lou Evans Invite (tie) and the 2010 BIG EAST Championship.

Three of Holt’s players earned All-BIG EAST honors in 2010 including Brophy, Conway and Huffer. With her fourth such honor, Brophy became just the second player in program history to earn All-BIG EAST accolades four times, while she and Huffer had the added dis-tinction of being two of the six unanimous selections to the 12-person team. In her four seasons with the Irish, Holt has seen six of her players combine to win 15 All-BIG EAST honors. Additionally, Huffer earned BIG EAST Rookie of the Year accolades in 2009.

During the 2009-10 season, Holt pre-sided over one of the program’s best individual performances as Huffer put together one of Notre Dame’s most statistically impressive seasons. Huffer recorded a 74.90 stroke average, which is the third-best mark in program history. She also saw all 30 of her rounds counted towards team scoring and she led the Irish at six of their 11 tourna-ments. At the end of a dominating 2009-10 season in which she finished in the top-20 at 10 of 11 events, Huffer narrowly missed individual qualifi-cation for the NCAA Championship field but, with her tie for 16th at the NCAA Central Regional, she turned in the best ever finish by a Notre Dame golfer in NCAA play.

In 2008-09, Holt led the Irish back to the NCAA Central Regional for the second consecu-tive year, marking just the second time in program history that Notre Dame qualified for NCAA play in back-to-back seasons. She did so with the Irish playing a challenging slate of tournaments that included the Northrop Grumman Regional Challenge in Palos Verdes, Calif. and the Bryan National Collegiate in Greensboro, N.C. The Irish were ranked inside the Golfstat top-25 for parts of

the season for the second consecutive year and they captured the Heather Farr Memorial Tournament, finishing with a program low score of 858 (-6), besting the previous record by 12 strokes. The Irish combined to post a 303.39 stroke average for the season, a mark bested only by a 300.47 mark recorded in 2007-08. The Irish finished in the top-five in four of the 11 tourna-ments on the season and registered 16 top-15 individual showings.

Holt fielded a team that earned four All-BIG EAST accolades. The four all-league members tied a program record, which had also been achieved the previous two seasons under Holt. The Irish also combined to post three of the five lowest rounds in school history and four of the top-eight tournament totals in program history. Huffer claimed BIG EAST Freshman of the Year honors, while Lisa Maunu claimed medalist honors at the 2009 BIG EAST Tournament, Notre Dame’s sec-ond medalist in as many years at the event.

Three seasons ago, in Holt’s second season with the Irish, Notre Dame won the 2008 BIG EAST title. Holt was named the conference’s coach of the year after putting together what turned out to be a record-breaking campaign in many ways. The Irish produced a school-record 300.47 stroke aver-age and won a program-best five tournaments,

including the BIG EAST championship. Three straight wins to open the season signified another program milestone for the Irish. Three golfers combined to win four tournaments on the season and the year was capped with a trip to the NCAA Central Regional in Austin, Texas.

After the record breaking 2007-08 campaign, Park became the program’s first All-America hon-oree as she copped honorable mention All-America accolades from the National Golf Coaches Association and Golfweek magazine. Park won two tournaments on the year and posted a single season-best 73.63 stroke average.

The 2007-08 season commenced with a win at the Cougar Classic in Hanahan, S.C. Maunu earned medalist honors by firing a school-record three-round total of 210 (-6). Maunu’s first-round six-under par 66 also represented a program record. Notre Dame followed that with a victory at the Napa River Grill Cardinal Cup in Simpsonville, Ky. Park made it a second clean sweep for the Fighting Irish as she claimed the victory. The Irish made it three in a row with a triumph at the Wolverine Invitational in Ann Arbor, Mich.

A fourth team victory was achieved in the spring at the Rio Verde Collegiate Invitational in Rio Verde, Ariz. For the third time on the year, Notre Dame swept the hardware as Park captured the individual title.

Holt and the Irish then delivered on one of the team’s goals for the year by winning the BIG EAST title by nine shots over two-time defending

conference champion Louisville in Batavia, Ohio. Brophy became the first Notre Dame golfer to win the BIG EAST title outright. Brophy and three of her teammates went on to claim all-conference accolades.

In all, the Irish finished in the top-five in nine of the 11 tournaments on the season and regis-tered 20 top-10 individual showings. Notre Dame also reached as high as 12th in the Golfstat rank-ings during the year. That was the highest ranking ever for the Irish, who had two freshmen and two sophomores in the five-person scoring lineup all season long. Notre Dame garnered the ninth seed in the NCAA Central Regional before finishing 16th.

In her first campaign with the Fighting Irish, Holt’s team posted a then school-record scoring average of 305.46 during the 2006-07 season. Holt steered Notre Dame to a runner-up finish at the 2007 BIG EAST Championship. The Irish tied Louisville with a season-best 891 (+27) total dur-ing the 54-hole event but Notre Dame fell to the Cardinals by one stroke in the first hole of a sudden-death playoff. The Irish tied a program record by placing four student-athletes on the all-BIG EAST Team with the fine performance at the 2007 BIG EAST Championship.

Throughout the season, Notre Dame produced two runner-up finishes, including one at the Lady Irish Invitational. The other second-place finish occurred at Kansas’ Marilynn Smith Sunflower Invitational. The results were even more impres-sive given the Irish squad featured three freshmen

in the five-person scoring lineup during the entire spring semester.

Notre Dame also made his-tory when senior co-captain Noriko Nakazaki became the first team member in program history to qualify for NCAA play as an individual entrant. Nakazaki carded a three-round score of 224 (+11) to place in a tie for 18th at the NCAA Central Regional in Ann Arbor, Mich.

Holt’s presence at the head of the Fighting Irish program has also produced big divi-dends on the recruiting trail. Holt brought in the top recruiting class in program history for the 2007-08 season as Notre Dame’s Class of 2011 was comprised of Conway and Park, who were both ranked in the top-25 nationally. Another stellar class that featured Huffer- also a top-25 recruit- and Katie Allare joined the Irish in the fall of 2008. In the fall of 2010, the highly touted duo of Kristina Nhim and Nicole Zhang, who is also a top-25 recruit and a qualifier for the 2010 U.S. Women's Open, will join the Irish.

In addition to their perfor-

mances on the course, Holt’s teams have excelled academically as well. Twenty-four times, her play-ers have been named to the National Golf Coaches Association All-Scholar Golf Team (3.5 grade-point average and play in 66 percent of events). In 2009-10, six of her players earned BIG EAST Academic All-Star honors, bringing her four-year total to 19 BIG EAST Academic All-Star honors while leading the Irish program. Park led the way with a Dean’s List showing in the spring of 2010 and the team combined to post an impressive 3.373 GPA for the 2009-10 season.

Holt came to Notre Dame from the University of South Florida, where she spent 13 successful seasons guiding the Bulls. In her final season, USF joined the BIG EAST Conference and she led the Bulls to a tie for third, along with the Irish, in their inaugural BIG EAST tournament.

“First and foremost, I was attracted by the opportunity to come to what I believe is the best academic and athletic combination that’s out there,” says Holt on why she decided to come to Notre Dame following a successful run at South Florida.

“The commitment to the golf program with the course and the new indoor facility makes a statement. As a coach you want to know that you have a chance to be successful and you can tell that’s how it is at Notre Dame and it’s impressive to see that.”

A native of Dayton, Ohio, Holt made a return to the Midwest, where she began her college coaching career at Purdue University, with her hiring at Notre Dame. She was at the helm of the women’s golf program at Purdue for four seasons from 1990-93 before taking the position at South Florida.

Holt directed the USF program to 16 team titles and 17 runner-up finishes, including five of 10 Conference USA Championships. She guided the team and/or individuals to 11 NCAA Regional appearances and trips to the NCAA Championship Finals in 2001 and 2002.

Holt’s teams at South Florida won at least one tournament in 10 of her 13 seasons and she was recognized as the Conference USA Coach of the Year in 1996, 1999 and 2001. In the spring of 2005, Holt was named Conference USA Coach of the Decade for women’s golf (1995-2005). Under Holt’s watch, South Florida players were named to the Conference USA All-Conference Team 23 times. Current LPGA player and South Florida graduate Kelly Lagedrost was named Conference USA Player of the Year in 2001. Former South Florida golfer Christina Jones was named Conference USA Freshman of the Year in 2005.

Prior to college coaching, Holt worked as a club professional in West Palm Beach, Fla., and in Ipswich, Mass. She is a 1988 graduate of Ohio State University, where she played on the women’s golf team that won Big Ten Championships in 1985 and 1988 and played in the NCAA Championship those same years.

Holt graduated from Fairmont High School in Kettering, Ohio. She has been a member of the PGA of America since 1992.

Susan married Tim Holt of Kokomo, Ind., in 1993 and they are the parents of two children, Justin and Kristin. Tim, who is also a PGA mem-ber, is the current head coach at nearby Holy Cross College.


AssistantCoach

Kyle Veltri completed her fifth season as the assis-tant women’s golf coach at the University of Notre Dame with the conclusion of the 2009-10 campaign. Since teaming up with current head coach Susan Holt prior to the 2006-07 season, Veltri has helped the Fighting Irish post the top-four scoring averages in program history while also leading the Irish to three consecutive NCAA Central Regional appearances. In fact, if you take into account her first year as an Irish assistant coach, the 2005-06 season, Veltri has been a part of the top-five scoring averages in program his-tory.

Veltri, a 2001 graduate from Saint Mary’s College in Notre Dame, Ind., and a recipient of a Master’s of Science and Education degree from Indiana University in May of 2009, returned to the Notre Dame com-munity when she was hired in August of 2005.

In her fifth season, Veltri helped the Irish to a third consecutive NCAA Central Regional appearance – the first time Notre Dame has played in three straight NCAA Regional fields – and led the Irish to the fourth-best season stroke average with a 306.60 mark. Notre Dame’s best finish of the season came at the Alamo Invitational when the Irish shot a combined four-over par 292 to tie for second in the 12-team field. At the Alamo Invitational, Annie Brophy earned co-medalist honors to become just the sixth golfer in program history to win multiple individual titles, hav-ing already captured medalist honors at the 2008 BIG EAST Championship. Notre Dame also finished third at both the Bettie Lou Evans Invite (tie) and the 2010 BIG EAST Championship.

Three of Veltri’s players earned All-BIG EAST honors in 2010 including Brophy, Katie Conway and Becca Huffer. With her fourth such honor, Brophy became just the second player in pro-gram history to earn All-BIG EAST accolades four times, while she and Huffer had the added distinction of being two of the six unanimous selections to the 12-player team. In her five seasons with the Irish, Veltri has seen six of her players combine to win 16 All-BIG EAST honors.

Known as an excellent recruiter, Veltri has helped the Irish welcome the top recruits in program history during her five years at Notre Dame. Holt and Veltri brought in Notre Dame’s top rated recruiting class at the start of the 2007-08 season as the Class of 2011 was comprised of Conway and So-Hyun Park, who were both ranked in the top-25 nationally. Another

stellar class that featured Huffer- also a top-25 recruit- and Katie Allare joined the Irish in the fall of 2008. Next, in the fall of 2010, the highly touted duo of Nicole Zhang and Kristina Nhim will join the Irish. Zhang is another top-25 recruit who recently qualified for the 2010 U.S. Women's Open, becoming the first member of the Fighting Irish women’s golf family to play in the premier event. Nhim is a top-50 recruit who will be looking to help the Irish reach new heights as well.

One of Veltri’s prized recruits, Huffer, put together one of the program’s best indi-vidual performances in 2009-10. She recorded a 74.90 stroke average, which is the third-best mark in program history, and saw all 30 of her rounds counted towards team scoring. Huffer also led the Irish at six of their 11 tournaments. At the end of her dominating 2009-10 season, in which she fin-ished in the top-20 at 10 of 11 events, Huffer nar-rowly missed individual qualification for the NCAA Championship field. But with her tie for 16th at the 2010 NCAA Central Regional, she turned in the best ever finish by a Notre Dame golfer in NCAA play.

Two years ago, during the 2008-09 season, the Irish combined to post three of the five lowest rounds in school history and four of the top-eight tournament totals in program history. Notre Dame also captured the Heather Farr Memorial Tournament, finishing with a program low score of 858 (-6), besting the previous mark by 12 strokes. The Irish combined to post a 303.39 stroke average for the season, the sec-ond best mark in program history.

The Irish finished in the top-five in four of their 11 tournaments on the season and registered 16 top-15 individual showings. Veltri helped field a team that earned four All-BIG EAST accolades, tying a program record for conference all-star selections.

The Irish opened the 2007-08 season with a win at the Cougar Classic in Hanahan, S.C. Lisa Maunu earned medalist honors by firing a school-record three-round total of 210 (-6). Maunu’s first-round six-under par 66 also represented a program record. Notre Dame followed that with a victory at the Napa River Grill Cardinal Cup in Simpsonville, Ky. Park made it a second clean sweep for the Fighting Irish as she claimed the victory. The Irish made it three in a row with a triumph at the Wolverine Invitational in Ann Arbor, Mich.

A fourth team victory was achieved in the spring at the Rio Verde Collegiate Invitational in Rio Verde, Ariz. For the third time on the year, Notre Dame swept the hardware as Park captured the individual title.

The Irish then delivered on one of the team’s goals for the year by winning the BIG EAST title by nine shots over two-time defending conference champion Louisville in Batavia, Ohio. Brophy became the first golfer in program history to win the BIG EAST title outright. Brophy and three of her teammates gar-nered all-conference accolades.

Notre Dame finished in the top-five in nine of the 11 tournaments on the 2007-08 season and registered 20 top-10 individual showings. The Fighting Irish were also ranked 12th in the Golfstat rankings during the fall. That was the highest ranking ever for the Irish, who had two freshmen and two sophomores in the five-person scoring lineup all season long. Notre Dame garnered the ninth seed in the NCAA Central Regional before finishing 16th.

After the record breaking 2007-08 campaign, Park became the program’s first All-America honoree as she copped honorable mention All-America acco-lades from the National Golf Coaches Association and Golfweek magazine. Park won two tournaments on the year and posted a single season-best 73.63 stroke average. Park also won two tournaments.

In her second season at Notre Dame, Veltri was an instrumental part with the transition after the hiring of new head coach Susan Holt in August of 2007. Veltri coached the Irish in their first event of the fall season, while Holt was still with her former team at the University of South Florida.

On the season, Veltri helped a young Irish squad that featured three freshmen in the five-person scor-ing lineup during the spring semester. The team posted impressive numbers, including a then-pro-gram-record 305.46 stroke average for the entire 2006-07 campaign.

Notre Dame tied a program record by placing four student-athletes on the all-BIG EAST Team after a fine performance at the 2007 BIG EAST Championship. The Irish were tied with Louisville following the 54-hole event with a season-best 891 (+27) total, but Notre Dame fell by one stroke in the first hole of a sudden-death playoff to the Cardinals.

Notre Dame produced two runner-up finishes, including one at the Lady Irish Invitational. The other second-place finish occurred at Kansas’ Marilynn Smith Sunflower Invitational. Notre Dame also made history as senior co-captain Noriko Nakazaki became the first team member in program history to qualify for NCAA play as an individual entrant.

In her first season as a Notre Dame assistant, Veltri helped guide the Fighting Irish to a (then) school record 306.66 scoring average. The Irish had seven top-five finishes, including a win at the Notre Dame Invitational.

Before her arrival at Notre Dame, Veltri compiled seven years of experience in the golf industry, tracing all the way back to her work at the Notre Dame/Saint Mary’s College Nike Golf Camp in 1999 and 2000. The Clarksburg, W. Va., native also worked at Notre Dame’s Warren Golf Course as a golf shop assistant during her time at Saint Mary’s.

Following her graduation from Saint Mary’s College, Veltri worked for nearly one year at Captain’s Choice Golf Services Inc. in Orlando, Fla., where she served as management/tournament coordinator while also working in sales. During the summers of 2003 and 2004, Veltri served as an instructor/counselor at the Stonewall Resort Nike Golf Camp in Roanoke, W. Va. Prior to her arrival at Notre Dame, she worked at the Palmer Course at the Stonewall Resort as the assistant golf professional for three years.

George Thomas helped found the women’s golf program at Notre Dame. Thomas and Tom Hanlon were co-head coaches when women’s golf was elevated to varsity status in 1988 and they remained in that role until 1993. Thomas is still actively involved in the Fighting Irish pro-gram.

Thomas also served as the Notre Dame men’s golf coach from 1989-2001. He was a two-time BIG EAST Coach of the Year while guiding the men. Thomas also was named the Midwestern Collegiate Conference Coach of the Year for the 1988-89 campaign.

As a player, Thomas qualified for the U.S. Open twice (1965, 1976) and the PGA Championship once (1974). He has also appeared in the U.S. Senior Open from 1981-86. The Elkhart, Ind. native was inducted into the Indiana PGA Hall of Fame in 1979-80 and was the Indiana PGA Player of the Year three times (1970, 1973, 1977).

After serving as a B-17 navigator with the Eighth Air Corps during World War II, Thomas accepted a football scholarship to Purdue University. He served as a backup quarterback to All-American Bob DeMoss.

Thomas also was a four-year member of the golf team at Purdue. During his playing days at Purdue, Thomas was a member on the NCAA runner-up squad for the Boilermakers in 1950. He graduated from the Purdue School of Pharmacy and served as a pharmacist for 12 years while playing professionally.

The longtime member of the Notre Dame community earned an honorary monogram from the Notre Dame Monogram Club in 1999.

Tom Hanlon has been involved with the women’s program from its days as a club sport through its transition to a varsity sport. He served as co-head coach, along with George Thomas, of the Fighting Irish women’s team when they began varsity play in 1988. He and Thomas served in that role until 1993.

Hanlon has been linked with Notre Dame golf since his playing days back in the 1940’s. He was a member of Notre Dame’s 1944 NCAA championship team. Following the 1944 NCAA competition, Hanlon joined the Navy and served on a cruiser in the Pacific during World War II.

After being discharged at the end of the war, Hanlon returned to Notre Dame and received a Bachelor of Science degree in pre-medicine in 1949. He later received a master’s degree in education from Notre Dame in June of 1951 before going on to teach science and math and coach basketball and track at Jefferson School in South Bend.

Hanlon sold the insurance firm of Tom Hanlon and Associates in order to devote his time fully to the varsity golf duties. Hanlon is still actively involved in both the men’s and women’s programs at Notre Dame.

The date of May 1, 2000, marked the begin-ning of a new era in the history of Notre Dame golf as the University unveiled the

championship-caliber William K. and Natalie O. Warren Golf Course at Notre Dame. Since its opening date, the course has been hailed as one of the best courses in America by Golf Digest and has been featured in Links Magazine and Golf Digest as a must-play venue. Through the generous donation of Notre Dame alumnus and Tulsa, Okla., resident Bill Warren (’56), the University features an impressive 18-hole golf course, located a stone’s throw away from the northeast corner of campus. Constructed in a heavily wooded area, the facility is bordered by Douglas Road to the south, Juniper Road to the west, Ironwood Drive to the east and the Indiana Toll Road to the north. Since its inception, the Warren has played host to many marquee events. Most recently, the Warren played host the United States Golf Association’s U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links Championship, on June 21-26, 2010. The Warren also was the host site for the 2010 NCAAA Men’s Central Regional. Then, on May 5-7, 2011, the Warren will play host to the 2011 NCAA Women’s Central Regional . The course was designed by the Austin, Texas-based architectural team of Coore and Crenshaw, headed by Bill Coore and PGA Tour veteran Ben Crenshaw. Coore began his design and construction career in 1972 with noted course architect Pete Dye and formed his own company in 1982 before joining forces with Crenshaw four years later. Founded in 1986, Coore and Crenshaw has established a reputation for creating courses based on traditional, strategic golf, including: the Plantation Course at the Kapalua Resort in Maui, Hawaii; Cuscowilla Golf Club in Greensboro, Ga.; Sand Hills Golf Club in Mullen, Neb.; Barton Creek Club in Austin; the New Town Golf Club in Indonesia; Talking Stick in Scottsdale, Ariz.; and the East Hampton Golf Club on Long Island. Most recently, they designed the highly acclaimed Bandon Dunes in Oregon. Coore and Crenshaw also has undertaken several renovation projects, including the Southern Hills Country Club (in Tulsa) and the Prairie Dunes Golf Club (located in Kansas). The firm oversaw nine-hole additions to the Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa and the Onion Creek Country Club in Austin. The existing Notre Dame Memorial Golf Course, located on the southwest side of campus, served as an 18-hole facility for the Notre Dame community

until 1993, when the back nine was lost due to the addi-tion of four campus dormitories and several athletic fields. The 70-year-old University course remains a con-venient nine-hole facility available to the campus com-munity. “After losing the back nine of the existing course, Mr. Warren came forward with an interest in developing a new 18-hole, championship course,” said Notre Dame special assistant to the president Rev. E. William Beauchamp, C.S.C. ”It then became apparent that this was a project worth pursuing.” Since Mr. Warren was familiar with the team of Coore and Crenshaw through its work in Tulsa, it was a very natural fit. “We are very grateful for Mr. Warren’s gen-erosity,” said Beauchamp. “Such a championship-level course allows our golf teams to be more competitive on a national level. The course is intended to benefit the entire Notre Dame community while still retaining the existing course as a nine-hole facility for instructional purposes.” Course construction began on March 1, 1997, with the first actual phases of dirt movement beginning two months later. Many of the day-to-day tasks were coordinated by the University’s department of facility engineering, under the ultimate supervision of associate vice president for business operations Jim Lyphout. The project also was coordinated by former associate athletic director Bubba Cunningham, who had responsibilities for athletic facility and financial affairs at the time. Final construction was overseen by Doug Marsh, director of the Notre Dame facilities engineering office. Assisting in this monumental task was Butch Layman, a construction administrator in the facilities engineering office. South Bend-based Rieth Reilly Construction was contracted to handle the movement of approxi-mately 100,000 yards of dirt. Another local company, Ziolkowski Construction, handled construction of the course’s buildings and other structures. Final details of the course were directed by Tom Beck, construction superintendent for Coore and Crenshaw, and his associate Jeff Bradley. Kim Hocker, the now former golf course superintendent of the Warren Golf Course and the existing University golf course, and his dedicated staff added their expertise to the successful finish of the project. Final construction – completed in the fall of 1999 – included grading and seeding of the driving range, construction of tee areas around the clubhouse,

Warren Golf Course Earns Top-15 Ranking From Golf Digest

The University of Notre Dame's Warren Golf Course has been chosen as one of the top 15 college courses in the nation, according to a feature article in the September 2005 issue of Golf Digest. The magazine used a variety of criteria in rating the various layouts, including shot values, resistance to scoring, design variety, memorability, aesthetics, conditioning, ambience and bonus walking points. The Warren Golf Course was ranked 15th in the country and is one of the newest courses on the 2005 Golf Digest list.

The ranking from Golf Digest is only one of honors for the Warren Golf Course in its brief history. Here's a partial list of the accolades the Notre Dame layout has received since opening in 2000:

• Annually named as one of the nation’s ‘Top-100 Places You Can Play’ by Golf Digest• Second-best public golf course in Indiana - Golfweek, 2007• Third-best public golf course in Indiana - Golfweek, 2006• Third-best public golf course in Indiana - Golf Digest, 2006• 12th-best collegiate facility in the country - Golfweek, 2005• Golf Magazine, March 2001: "Top 10 You Can Play" -- honorable mention selection (one of only 35 courses in the country chosen)• Golf and Travel Magazine, August 2001: 40 Best Daily Fee Courses: No. 33 in United States (only course

in the state of Indiana ranked)• Best New Courses of 2000: No. 5 in Affordable Public Division - Golf Digest• Chicagoland Golf Magazine: Five-star rating (highest)• Certified International Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary

viding a beautiful, challenging completion to the inward nine. Constant monitoring of the creek ensures a healthy and natural environment. Some 4,400 native hardwood trees and shrubs were planted to increase the stream's canopy cover. Approximately 360 large boulders, along with gravel and logs, were added to the slopes and bed to enhance fish habitat while a permanent sediment trap was installed. A combination of pest management, drain-age and filtration techniques minimizes the use and impact of fertilizers and pesticides while 2,200 feet of new shaded stream course were created to relocate the stream from the golf course proper. Environmental engineers J.F. New & Associates directed these aspects of the project, and Ronald A. Hellenthal, professor of biological sciences at Notre Dame and Gillen Director of its Environmental Research Center, reviewed the plans and continues to monitor the creek. Two lakes add to the challenge of the course, with one stationed between the third and fourth holes while another provides a hazard from the tee of the 17th hole. Water comes into play with the existing Juday Creek winding through holes 16 and 18 while additional creeks were added on holes 10 and 18. The 7,000-foot clubhouse – designed by Moake-Park Group Inc. of Fort Wayne, Ind., in a French Country style – was completed in June of ’99. The building matches the period of the course architecture (early 1900s), with a classic “clinker” style brick exterior. The design is completed by copper cupolas, dormers and trim, a slate roof and an enclosed porch. Brick fireplaces are located on both sides of the building, which welcomes the University community to venture over for lunch, meetings or shopping. The clubhouse is open to the public and houses some of the finest in men’s and women’s golf apparel, with both the Warren Golf Course logo as well as traditional Notre Dame merchandise and souvenirs. The Warren Grille, which is operated by Notre Dame Food Services, serves traditional golf course fare as well as specialty items and sandwiches.

Warren Golf Course Recognized For Environmental Excellence

The William K. and Natalie O. Warren Golf Course has achieved designation as a “Certified Audobon Cooperative Sanctuary” by the Audobon Cooperative Sanctuary System (ACSS), the edu-cational division of Audobon International.

The Warren Course was the sixth course in Indiana and the 335th in the world to achieve this honor.

“The Warren Golf Course has shown strong commitment to its environmental program. They are to be commended for their efforts to provide sanctuary for wildlife on the golf course property,” said Joellen Zeh, staff ecologist for the ACSS.

“To reach certification, a course must demonstrate that they are maintaining a high degree of environmental quality in a number of areas,” said Zeh.

“We are extremely proud to be certified Audobon Cooperative Sanctuary,” said Kim Hocker, the now former golf course superintendent at the Warren Golf Course. ”From the beginning, it was the goal of the University of Notre Dame to create an environmentally-sound golf course. In addition, the overwhelming positive response from golfers and the local community has made our efforts worthwhile.”

completion of the many strategically-placed bunkers, overseeding of the fairways and roughs, and the defining of the course during the “grow-in” period. A number of trees and ornamental grasses were planted to add finish-ing touches. Brian Godfrey was named the first PGA director of golf and general manager for the Notre Dame Golf Courses in October of 1998. In 2003, John Foster assumed the post of General Manager and Head Golf Professional at the Warren. His duties at the Warren Golf Course include overseeing the operation of both courses, in addition to pro shops, clubhouse and driving range management. He coordinates course use to bal-ance and meet the requirements of the varsity golf teams, course members, faculty, staff, students and the public. Foster also maintains the golf facility budgets as well as oversees staff training. The design of the Warren Golf Course is reminiscent of the classic, walkable Irish and American courses built in the late 1800s and early 1900s, with short distances between the greens and tees. Winding its way through 250 wooded acres, the course incorporates traditional elements of the great golf courses of the early 1900s and – unlike many modern layouts – is built on subtleties rather than special effects. “Players have been impressed with the design,” said Godfrey after the course opened in 2000. “From the dramatic bunkering to the strategic designs of the greens, it is challenging and enjoyable for golfers of all abilities.” Distinguishing features include: rectangular

tee boxes that provide a classic start to each hole; undu-lating greens of varying shapes constructed in a push-up style that slopes from back to front; false fronts to greens that allow a golfer to run the ball or fly it to the flag; strategically-placed bunkers that visually enhance each hole while challenging players to proceed with caution The course runs 7,020 yards from the back tees, 6,003 from the middle and 5,302 from the forward tees. It includes 88 bunkers scattered among the 18 holes, and water comes into play on six holes. The course has bent grass fairways and fescue grass rough, playing surfaces found at some of today’s top facilities. Though the course originally did not originally play with a par, it currently plays at par 71. ”We maintain the course in a dry and firm manner that will be true to the vision of the architects,” said Godfrey. “Many older courses required the player to have both the ability to run the ball along the ground as well as being able to fly it to the flag. A firmer surface allows for both options. This type of maintenance plan also requires fewer chemical applications and less water, which will allow for an environmentally-friendly course.” The designers received full permits to realign the existing Juday Creek that runs through the course and environmental safeguards were a priority in design and construction. A new creek channel was opened, resulting in a complete created habitat. The creek winds through the finishing holes, which are noted for heavy woods and change of elevations – pro-

The fairway bunkers on the 216-yard 11th hole provide an architectural deception, in that – from the tee – the front bunkers appear to be located on the sides of the green when they, in fact, are 20 yards short of it (bunkers also are located on the sides of the green).

A view from the 372-yard 1st hole. A slight dogleg to the left, this hole gives you an idea of what is to come with the rough look of the bunkers on the left to the well protected, small green.

Above is a look from the picturesque tee at the 16th hole. Overlooking Juday Creek from the elevated tee, the hole ascends up and to the left to a tiny, undulating green that is very well protected by classic Coore- and Crenshaw-designed bunkers.

The view from behind the 414-yard eighth hole looks to a green that is rectangular in shape and slopes dramatically from the rear, with an open front that allows either a bump-and-run shot or one that is flown to the green.

The 15th green is located just a stone’s throw from the clubhouse, yet the building is obscured by a distinctive variety of trees that rim the putting green.

The 197-yard 14th is one of Ben Crenshaw’s favorite holes on the Warren Golf Course. Noted for its old-Scottish style, the hole includes an elevated green and two bunkers to the right of the green that cannot be seen from the tee (unlike those to the left of the green). The hole is even more scenic when framed by full foliage in the surrounding trees.

This is a look from the fairway of the 436-yard sixth hole. The green is guarded by two trees and has a narrow entrance that is protected by bunkers both left and right. The Starter’s Cottage is visible in the right side of the picture.

The eastside back porch of the clubhouse (above) overlooks the finishing holes and welcomes golfers from the nearby 18th green.

The finishing hole’s tee shot (above) must carry the new stretch of Juday Creek and bend left to the green. The entire left side of the 18th fairway is bordered by the bed of the former Juday Creek, which has been filled to form a new stream.

The westside entrance to the clubhouse sits beyond the ninth green, which is noted for its back-to-front slope and is surrounded by deceptive and treacherous bunkering.

The elevated tee from the longest hole on the course, the 480-yard 17th hole, overlooks a pond to the left and the large bunkers in the bank of the hill, leading to a sharp dogleg-left approach to the green.

The ninth hole, as seen from one of the Warren Golf Course's distinctive rectangular tee boxes, is beautifully framed by trees, and the clubhouse is located behind the green.

A picturesque view from the tee box greets golfers at the dogleg-left seventh hole (398 yards), with a solitary tree adding some danger down the left side of the fairway.

The 495-yard 10th hole is another long hole that a big hitter may try to reach in two. Watch out for the creek that runs diagonally across the entire width of the fairway in front of the green.


Each student-athlete has his

or her own locker area in

their respective locker room.

Four offices are located on the east end of the building to accommodate the coaching staffs. A fully furnished lounge is available to members of both teams for studying or relaxing. Another asset for the teams is a club repair room, which is located in the southern wing of the facility.

The Robert and Marilyn Rolfs Family All-Season Varsity Golf Facility

(opened Sept. 30, 2006)

The Robert and Marilyn Rolfs Family All-Season Varsity Golf Facility, which is located at the Warren Golf Course on the northeast corner of the University of Notre Dame campus, opened on Sept. 30, 2006 with a private dedication ceremony. The $2.1 million, 10,333-square foot facility is used by both the Irish men’s and women’s golf programs.

“We are seeing an immediate impact with recruiting and that will only make our program stronger by bringing in top-level talent. The facility will also allow us to get quality practice time all year round. The putting and chipping areas are extremely nice and very authentic.”

– Notre Dame head coach Susan Holt

A 5,000-square foot indoor short game

area, that includes a

putting green, chip and pitch

area along with a practice

bunker allows the student-athletes the

ability to practice their

short game year-round on

campus.

One of the nicest features of the facility are the six hitting stations that are located within the building that lead out to the Warren Golf Course driving range, allowing players to work on their swings in all weather conditions. Incorporated within the stations is state-of-the-art video equipment to give players and coaches instant feedback on players’ swing techniques.

Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Tampa, Pittsburgh, Hartford, Milwaukee and Cincinnati. With its newest members, BIG EAST markets contain almost one-fourth of all television households in the U.S.

Since opening its doors in 1979, the league has won 26 national championships in six different sports and 126 student-athletes have won individual national titles.

The BIG EAST has enjoyed tremendous basketball success, especially in this decade. In 2008-09, the BIG EAST produced four of the eight Final Four teams in men’s and women’s basketball. It was only the second time in NCAA history that one conference placed that many Final Four teams in the same season.

In 2003-04, Connecticut became the first school in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s NCAA basketball titles in the same season. In ’02-03, the BIG EAST became the first conference in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s titles in the same year when the Syracuse men and the Connecticut women captured their respective national championships. In men’s basket-ball, BIG EAST squads have won three of the last 11 NCAA championships. BIG EAST women’s teams have taken six of the last 10 NCAA titles.

Proactive movement has been a signature strategy for the conference that was born in 1979. The BIG EAST continually turns challenges into opportunities to become stronger.

In 2009-10, the BIG EAST will add men’s lacrosse to its growing list of sports, which will increase its total to 24 sport championships. The first women’s golf cham-pionship was held in the spring of 2003. Women’s lacrosse and rowing were added in 2001.

The BIG EAST became a reality on May 31, 1979, following a meeting of athletic directors from Providence College, St. John’s, Georgetown and Syracuse universi-ties. Seton Hall, Connecticut and Boston College com-pleted the original seven school alliance.

While the membership has both increased and changed, the focus of the BIG EAST has not wavered.

The conference reflects a tradition of broad based pro-grams, led by administrators and coaches who place a constant emphasis on academic integrity. Its student athletes own significantly high graduation rates and their record of scholastic achievement notably shows a bal-ance between intercollegiate athletics and academics.

Any successful organization has been fortunate to have outstanding leadership. Michael Tranghese, the league’s first full-time employee, and for 11 years the associate to Dave Gavitt, became Commissioner in 1990. In his first year, he administered the formation of The BIG EAST Football Conference.

For 2009-10, the BIG EAST will undergo one sig-nificant change. Tranghese stepped down from his posi-tion on June 30, 2009. John Marinatto, who has served as senior associate commissioner, has moved into the Commissioner’s chair.

The league has long been considered a leader in innovative concepts in promotion and publicity, particu-larly regarding television. Those efforts have resulted in unparalleled visibility for BIG EAST student-athletes. The conference has enjoyed long-standing relationships with CBS, ESPN, Inc. and ABC.

BIG EAST men’s basketball games are regular sellouts at campus and major public arenas, including the annual men’s BIG EAST Championship in Madison Square Garden. The women’s basketball championship has led all conferences in attendance for the past six years. Attendance figures also are significant in soccer and baseball.

More than 550 BIG EAST student-athletes have earned All-America recognition and dozens have won individual NCAA national championships. The BIG EAST has been well represented in U.S. or foreign national and Olympic teams. Several athletes earned gold medals in each of the last six summer Olympiads.

The BIG EAST has its headquarters in Providence where the conference administers to more than 5,500 athletes.

Notre Dame BIG EAST TitlesSince joining the BIG EAST in 1995-96, Notre Dame has won the most conference championships (107) of any school:

With 30 years under its belt, The BIG EAST Conference continues on a path of success in and out of the athletic arena. The goals have always been the same. The league wants and expects to compete at the highest level and does so with integrity and sportsmanship. The commendable performances of the student-athletes at BIG EAST schools are the indicators of the league’s proud tradition of success.

The BIG EAST has gone through membership changes since its birth, but the 2009-10 academic year will mark the conference’s fifth straight with the same 16-member group, the nation’s largest Division I-A conference.

In 2008-09, BIG EAST student-athletes again suc-ceeded on the national stage. The Connecticut women’s basketball team won its sixth national championship by defeating conference-foe Louisville in an all-BIG EAST NCAA title game. The Notre Dame women’s soccer team reached the NCAA championship game and the Syracuse field hockey squad advanced to the NCAA Final Four. Three BIG EAST women’s cross country teams finished in the top 10 at the NCAA Championships. West Virginia was fourth followed by Villanova in sixth place and Georgetown in ninth.

Individually in women’s sports, Providence’s Dannette Doetzel won the 10,000 meters at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships. Connecticut’s Maya Moore was the conference’s sixth winner of the Wade Trophy as the top player in women’s basketball. Notre Dame’s Kerri Hanks won the Hermann Trophy, the top award in women’s soccer.

On the men’s side, Connecticut and Villanova advanced to the Final Four in basketball. The 2008-09 campaign was arguably the best men’s basketball season in the history of the BIG EAST with the league setting NCAA standards with three No. 1 tournament seeds, four teams in the round of the Elite Eight and five in the Sweet 16.

The St. John’s men’s soccer team reached the NCAA College Cup before losing in the national semifinals.

BIG EAST football has maintained its high profile and its reputation as a balanced group. Seven of the league’s eight squads were nationally ranked or received votes in the national polls in 2008. Cincinnati was the league champion. The BIG EAST, a charter member of the Bowl Championship Series, has won three of its last four BCS bowl games. West Virginia, Louisville and Connecticut also have won or shared league crowns over the past four seasons.

The BIG EAST has continued to produce student-athletes who were at the forefront of athletic and aca-demic achievement. In 2008-09, 19 BIG EAST players were chosen to their respective ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America Teams, including eight first-team selections. Nearly 400 student-athletes have earned academic all-America honors.

The BIG EAST became the nation’s largest Division I-A conference in 2005-06 when five new members began competing. The new schools were: University of Cincinnati, DePaul University, University of Louisville, Marquette University and the University of South Florida.

BIG EAST institutions reside in nine of the nation’s top-34 largest media markets, including New York,

HistoryThe University of Notre Dame du Lac •was founded in 1842 by Father Edward Sorin. Adjacent to South Bend, Ind., and nestled next to Saint Mary’s and Saint Joseph’s Lakes, the University was started with $310 in cash and three log buildings in disrepair.

Notre Dame would establish many •firsts for Catholic institutions of higher learning, including the first Catholic law school, the first Catholic engineering school and the first student residence with private rooms, Sorin Hall.

AcademicsThe University is organized into four •colleges - Arts and Letters, Science, Engineering and the Mendoza College of Business - the School of Architecture, the Law School, the Graduate School, six major research institutes, more than 40 centers and special programs and the University library system.

Notre Dame is rated among the nation’s •top 25 institutions of higher learning in surveys conducted by U.S. News and World Report, Princeton Review, Time, Kiplinger’s, and Kaplan/Newsweek.

Notre Dame ranks fifth in a listing of •“dream schools” in a survey of parents by the Princeton Review. The top five are Princeton, Stanford, Harvard, New York University and Notre Dame.

Notre Dame is among a select group of •schools that ranks in the top 25 on the U.S. News & World Report survey of the nation’s top colleges and in the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics Directors’ Cup for overall success in athletics.

StudentsGraduate and undergraduate students •at the University come from all 50 states and more than 100 countries worldwide.

Notre Dame’s graduation rate of 95 •percent is exceeded by only Harvard and Princeton.

Notre Dame’s 98 percent retention rate •between the freshman and sophomore years is among the highest in the country, thanks in large part to the University’s unique First Year of Studies Program.

Notre Dame has one of the highest •undergraduate residential concentrations of any national university, with 80 percent of its students living in 27 residence halls.

The medical school acceptance rate of •the University’s preprofessional studies graduates is 80 percent, almost twice the national average.

Notre Dame ranks first among Catholic •universities in the number of doctorates earned by its undergraduate alumni - a record compiled over some 85 years.

ServiceCommunity service is a hallmark of •Notre Dame. About 80 percent of Notre Dame students engage in some form of voluntary community service during their years at the University, and at least 10 percent devote a year or more after graduation to service in the United States and around the world.

The University’s • Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE) annually sends 180 recent graduates to teach in some 100 understaffed Catholic schools in the southern, southeastern and southwestern United States and in South Bend. A national model, ACE has received the Higher Education Award from the Corporation for National Service for leadership in using national service resources through AmeriCorps.

AlumniThe University’s network of 270 alumni •clubs -- including 60 international clubs -- is the most extensive in higher education.

With graduates renowned for their •loyalty and generosity, Notre Dame annually ranks among the top five in percentage of alumni who contribute to the University.

In recent years, Notre Dame alumni have •won a Nobel Prize in medicine, a Pulitzer Prize in journalism, and an Emmy Award for contributions to television technology.
