UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME History •

•

The 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.

Students •

Graduate 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.

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.

First Year of Studies The 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 colleges. 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 Success Notre Dame expects the best out of its student-athletes just as it does of every other student on campus. Notre Dame has had unprecedented 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 capable of performing in the classroom while competing on the field at an elite level.

SPORTS MEDICINE

Sports Medicine 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 approximately 200 years combined experience on the full-time staff, Notre Dame also boasts a partnership with the renowned South Bend Orthopaedics to provide first-class care.

THIS IS NOTRE DAME

The University of Notre Dame When Father Edward F. Sorin started his school in the northern Indiana 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 synthetic 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.

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 philosophy and the philosophy of religion.

Jack Swarbrick Director of Athletics

John B. “Jack” Swarbrick Jr., a University of Notre Dame graduate who has risen to national prominence as a lawyer, consultant, and executive 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 postgraduate 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 Super Bowl; becoming the home of the NCAA headquarters; and hosting the 1987 Pan American Games, the 1991 World Gymnastics 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 numerous 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.

ATHLETIC FACILITIES

Homes of the Fighting Irish 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 imaginable. The plan will result in a drastically altered footprint on the southeast corner of campus, creating an athletics quad that will give every Irish athlete a place they will be proud to call home.

UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME®

Notre Dame Men’s Golf

Junior Max Scodro, a two-time all-BIG EAST honoree, leads a talented Notre Dame roster into the 2010-11 season as the Irish look to return to NCAA Regional play. Scodro, who had a medalist finish as a freshman and finished as a runner-up at the 2010 BIG EAST Championship after a four-way playoff, owns the third-lowest stroke average in program history (74.36).

2010-11 Season Preview Young, Talented Roster Looks For Big Things In 2010-11 Five members who saw rotation time last season return to guide Irish.

The 2010-11 Irish squad will look to fill two very large pairs of shoes after the departures Josh Sandman and Doug Fortner, two seniors who were cornerstones for the Irish team rotation for the better part of four seasons.The two combined for 82 tournament appearances spanning 228 rounds of golf and went on to post 20 top-10 finishes and 12 top-five results, including each earning medalist honors once (Fortner – ’10 Bandon Dunes Championship, Sandman – ’09 Fighting Irish Gridiron Golf Classic) in their respective careers.

However, head coach Jim Kubinski is not left with a bare cupboard as the Irish return five members of last year’s team that participated in at least one event as a member of the team’s five-man rotation. Pair that with a trio of talented incoming freshmen and there is plenty of reason to see why the 2010-11 season should be a fruitful endeavor.

SENIORS: The Irish will look for leadership from their three member senior class. While having not competed in a great number of events as part of the five-man team, they still have a valuable mindset to show a young roster how to compete on a weekly basis at the collegiate level.

Connor Alan-Lee will enter the season as the most experienced of the senior class as far as scores counting toward the team ledger. He has competed in a total of 22 events in an Irish uniform, serving as a member of the five-man rotation on 18 of those occasions. During each of the previous three campaigns, he has shown marked improvements and lowered his overall stroke average every year. He currently holds a 75.90 career stroke average and has placed within the top 10 twice while also grabbing a top-five result once, placing third at the ’09 Caputo Invitational (+12, 156) as an individual entrant.

“Connor has a great deal of ability and is one of the better ball strikers on any college team,” Kubinski noted. “He has made strides in the short game areas and has become increasingly more dedicated to becoming the kind of player we all expected he could become. I’m looking for Connor to step up this year and give us some great rounds. He has gained a great deal of experience over his first three years and I’m confident he’ll draw from those experiences in a positive way.”

Jeff Chen will look to build off of a ’09 campaign that saw him take to the course seven times, including four appearances with the weekend rotation. Chen got off to a promising start during the fall season, posting a 74.56 stroke average in three events including a 27thplace showing at the Gopher Invitational. He earned his best finish of the season during the spring by placing 13th at the Bandon Dunes Championship with a two-round 161 (+19) total. His 74.68 career stroke average currently ranks 10th-best in program history.

“Jeff has been one of our most consistent players the

20

last two years, both in scoring and in his consistent improvement,” Kubinski said. “He always exhibits a great attitude and maintains that under all circumstances. Whether he’s playing his best or not on a particular day, you could never tell by looking at him. He always gives his best and is a pleasure to coach. I expect another strong season from Jeff, especially as a senior this year.”

The final piece of the 2010-11 senior class is Dustin Zhang. Over the first three seasons with the Irish, Zhang has competed in 17 tournaments including 12 as a part of the starting rotation. Last season, Zhang took part in two tournaments (Fighting Irish Gridiron Golf Class,The Battle at the Warren), both of which were as an individual entrant.

“Dustin is a player talented enough to lead us to great heights,” Kubinski commented. “He played more as a freshman and sophomore than he did last season but he’s someone I feel will come back from the Summer break hungry to re-establish himself. We’d be hard pressed to find a player with more shots in his bag, more God given ability to play great golf. The key for us lies in his ability to take what he has and trust it in competition, to believe in himself. Given his maturation over the last three years, growing each and every year, I am confident he’ll be ready. It’s finally his time and I expect he’ll seize this opportunity and run with it.” Max Scodro, a two-time All-BIG EAST selection and current team leader in stroke average (74.36), looks to be a stabilizing force and

like Usher, will look to build off of a strong season finale where he placed 23rd with a nine-over par (222) score at the BIG EAST Championship, marking his best three-round to-par total.

“Chris blossomed as much last season as any player I’ve coached, whether here at ND or during my stint at Duke University,” Kubinski stated. “He gained a great deal of experience last season, playing basically all the way through fall and spring. More than anything else, Chris showed great, great heart in willing himself past some tough starts during a few rounds only to post solid scores for us. He doesn’t give up. He’s a fighter who draws on emotion but began to learn how to channel his emotion and use his mind to his advantage by the end of the season. I look for a break out type season, as Chris possesses great talent, excellent touch around the greens and hits the ball past just about everyone in the college game.”

After competing in only two events in the rotation during his freshman campaign, Usher announced his arrival at the conclusion of last season by playing in each of the final four tournaments as a part of the top five. He closed the season with a 75.06 stroke average and rounded out the campaign by earning co-medalist honors, alongside Scodro, at the BIG EAST Championships before falling in the sudden victory playoff as well. Usher was named to the All-BIG EAST team for the first time in his career. The share of first was his first taste of medalist honors since joining the Irish and he will look to add to his trophy case during the upcoming season.

“If Chris blossomed last season, then Tom arrived,” Kubinski noted. “After sitting out much of the fall, due to hip surgery,Tom stepped in at The Match Play in late October and never looked back and remained in our lineup the rest of the way. Like his classmates,Tom shows great heart, will and the ability to compete. He has an excellent short game and hits so many quality shots. He’s a very bright player, taking a mature approach out there.

I expect continued success and development from Tom this season. He, again like his classmates, can accomplish anything he sets his mind to.”

SOPHOMORE: Paul McNamara III is the lone Irish sophomore on the roster and will look to make a large impact in his second full year with the program. He will try and build off of a season, which saw him play in two events as an individual entrant – Fighting Irish Gridiron Golf Classic and Battle at the Warren. Despite limited action, McNamara did show a flash of the potential he has when he fired a final-round 74 at the FIGGC. “Paul didn’t get a start in the travel lineup last season but that wasn’t due to desire or work ethic…or the ability to score,” Kubinski said. “Paul has an excellent

short game and has worked hard on swing improvements to be more consistent and gain length. He is getting stronger and is expected to be a factor this season. He’s another of our strong competitors. Paul may be smaller in stature but he has as much heart as any player. They say it’s not the size of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in the dog. That’s Paul.

When he breaks into the lineup, I’m not sure he’ll come out. He’ll play hard. He’ll compete. He’ll exhibit a first-class short game and solid ball striking. I’m excited about Paul’s prospects this season.”

FRESHMEN: As the Irish look to replace a five-man graduating class from last year, they will look to three very talented freshmen to attempt to bridge the gap.

Niall Platt, who recently graduated from the Laguna Blanca School in Santa Barbara, Calif., is a decorated player on the junior circuit as well as a dominant scholastic player. A 2009 American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) HP Scholastic All-American, Platt captains his high school squad and has gone undefeated in his first three years of league play as well as earning three consecutive league MVP honors. He has also competed in various amateur events around California. In March of 2009, Platt won the Lompoc City Championship at La Purisima. He also tied for fifth at the California State Fair Amateur with an eight-under par 208 (68-69-71) in September of 2009.

For the past four seasons, Platt has competed in various AJGA and Future Collegians World Tour (FCWT) tournaments. He has had four top-5 finishes on the AJGA tour, highlighted by a second place showing at the AGJA Junior at Wenatchee in August, where he fired a two-under par 214 (70-71-73). On the FCWT, Platt has finished in the top-10 on six occasions, including three top-five finishes. Platt also competes in the SCPGA Toyota Tour Cup. In his most recent 2009 events on the circuit, Platt claimed first place at Cypress Ridge in October by shooting an even par 144 (73-71) and placed second at Rancho San Marcos in November after carding a three-under par 139 (69-70).

Andrew Lane, who graduated from McQuaid Jesuit, carries an impressive golf resume on the junior and scholastic levels and Golfweek named him the top recruit in the state of New York in 2008. He has also had success on the AJGA and FCWT circuits. Some of his AJGA highlights include a fourth-place showing at the Fidelity Investments Classic in Mattapoisett, Mass. in July of 2008 and tying for 10th at the Northeast Open at the Richter Park Golf Course, where he turned in a five-over par 221 (72-74-75). All told, Lane boasts five top-20 finishes, three top-10 marks and one top-5 showing in AJGA play.

Guiseley School The Woodlands Bishop Carroll

Lane’s other impressive results include a tie for first at the Pepsi Little Peoples Golf Championship at the Spring Lake CC in Quincy, Ill. in June of 2008. He fired a minus-one 143 (69-74) to finish atop the 117-player field. In June of 2009, he tied for 17th at the Southern Jr. Championship, which was played at Reynolds Landing in Greensboro, Ga. He turned in a five-over par 221 (75-77-69) at the three-round event.

In high school action, Lane tied for third at the New York State High School Golf Championship as a junior in May of 2009, shooting a two-over par 146. He helped McQuaid Jesuit to the 2008 Section 5 State title and he was named a Section 5 All-Greater Rochester honoree in 2008 and 2009 after finishing as the runner-up at the Individual Section 5 Golf Championships.

He was also an all-State selection in 2009.

Andrew Carreon, who graduated from Alamo Heights High School in San Antonio,Texas, closes out Notre Dame’s class of 2014 and like Platt and Lane, Carreon is an accomplished player on the junior golf circuit and at the high school level. Currently ranked 76th by Golfweek, Carreon is a two-time San Antonio City Junior Champion. In 2009, he fired three consecutive under par rounds (70-68-70) to claim medalist honors. He also claimed first place at the UIL District Tournament the past two years and finished seventh overall at the Texas UIL State tournament. At one of the largest scholastic tournaments in the country, the Bart Granger Memorial, Carreon finished sixth in 2009 after carding a 211 (69-71-71).

On the AJGA circuit, Carreon has totaled five top20 finishes, including four in the top-15. His best AJGA finish was a ninth place showing at the Valero Junior Shootout at the Dominion Country Cub in 2008. In 2009, he turned in top-15 showings at the Laredo Energy (played at the Traditions Golf Club) and the Emerson (played at Maderas Golf Club) AJGA events.

“Welcoming this group to campus is as exciting for me as any year and, in terms of results, is as strong a group as we’ve had,” Kubinski state. “They’re similar in that way to our group of rising juniors. They’ve posted great performances in junior golf show tremendous competitive fire and have high expectations to compete immediately. It’s also fun to note how well they’re playing as a group heading into our upcoming season.Their summer play has been very strong. I think all three will push our older players, which creates a great atmosphere around our team. Competition will be a part of ND Golf life. That’s obviously important in achieving great things as a team but it also pushes the individual to bring out their best. Niall, Andy Lane and Andrew Carreon add a great deal to our program as players, teammates and students. Their future is very bright.”

This is Notre Dame Men’s Golf 2010 FIGHTING IRISH Gridiron Golf Classic Notre Dame, Ind. — September 26-28, 2010 Warren Golf Course Hosted by the University of Notre Dame A new tradition began in 2006 when the University of Notre Dame played host to the inaugural Fighting Irish Gridiron Golf Classic at the Warren Golf Course. Created by Notre Dame head coach Jim Kubinski, the Gridiron Golf Classic features a fun-filled weekend; blending the best of college golf with the unique experiences of a Notre Dame home football game, a visit to the College Football Hall of Fame and a catered pre-tournament banquet.

Lamar won the first-ever Gridiron Golf Classic title in 2006 by carding a three-round total of 860 (+20), finishing 29 shots clear of tournament runner-up Notre Dame (889, +49). The Cardinals’ Justin Harding earned medalist honors at 213 (+3), one shot better than Notre Dame’s Cole Isban and Vanderbilt’s Luke List.

A year later, Michigan State took the tournament title at seven-over par 847, easing past Arkansas and defending champion Lamar by 14 strokes.

MSU’s Ryan Brehm was the tourney medalist at 205 (-5), five shots in front of Notre Dame’s Doug Fortner and Virginia’s Greg Carlin.

In 2008, eventual NCAA finalist Arkansas outdueled UC Davis down the stretch to win by four strokes at 863 (+23). Michigan State retained the individual title, as Randy Hutchinson eagled the 71st hole and held on to edge Arkansas’ Andrew Landry by one shot at even-par 210.

Last season, Notre Dame held off a late charge from Ohio State to win its home tournament for the first time. The Irish finished with an 870 (+30) total, four strokes better than the runner-up Buckeyes (874/+34) and eight strokes clear of third place Arkansas (878/+38). Josh Sandman made it a Fighting Irish sweep and earned his first career win at the event by carding a two-over par 212. He bested individual runners-up Kevin Hesbois (Lamar), David Lingmerth (Arkansas) and Dan Charen (Ohio State) by two strokes.

Teams for this event are selected based upon two important criteria. Those schools that are among the very best academic institutions in the country are cross-referenced with the top golf programs in America to identify those teams with an elite blend of excellence in academics and athletics.

The 2010 Fighting Irish Gridiron Golf Classic is scheduled to take place Sept. 27-28, with the Irish looking to defend their crown. The tournament schedule will actually kick off on Sept. 25 with admission to the Notre Dame-Stanford football game at Notre Dame Stadium, followed by a practice round and pre-tournament banquet on Sept. 26.

For more information on this one-of-a-kind tournament, or to learn more about sponsorship opportunities, contact Kubinski in the Notre Dame men’s golf office at (574) 631-5907 or kubinski.4@nd.edu.

UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME®

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish will take on Stanford on Saturday, Sept. 25 at famed Notre Dame Stadium. A day later, the 2010 Fighting Irish Gridiron Golf Classsic gets underway with a practice round for all participating teams at the Warren Golf Course.

Rolfs Family All-Season Varsity Golf Facility The Robert and Marilyn Rolfs Family All-Season Varsity Golf Facility (opened Sept. 30, 2006) 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 studentathletes the ability to practice their short game year-round on campus.

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

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.

Each studentathlete 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.

T

he date of May 1, 2000, marked the beginning 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 to 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 NCAA 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 addition of four campus dormitories and several athletic fields.

The 70-year-old University course remains a convenient nine-hole facility available to the campus community.

“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 generosity,” 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 approximately 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

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.

UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME®

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 educational 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.”

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, 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 finishing 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 balance 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; undulating 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 – providing 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, drainage 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

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME®

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 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 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.

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

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 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.

Coaching Staff

In his six seasons at Notre Dame, head coach Jim Kubinski has guided Notre Dame to the top five stroke averages in school history, as well as 25 topfive finishes and six tournament titles (including the 2005 and 2006 BIG EAST Conference championships).

Head Coach

Jim Kubinski

Head Coach Six Years Springfield College ’93

One of the nation’s top golf teachers, Jim Kubinski is in his seventh season as head coach of the University of Notre Dame Fighting Irish men’s golf team. Having assumed the post on Jan. 28, 2005, Kubinski is just the sixth head coach in the 80-year history of the Irish men’s golf program. He inherited and subsequently added to a storied tradition that includes the 1944 NCAA national championship, 19 top-10 NCAA Championship finishes and 33 NCAA postseason appearances.

In his first six seasons leading the Irish, Kubinski has won two BIG EAST Championships (2005 & 2006) and added two BIG EAST runner-up finishes (2007 & 2010). He also has helped Notre Dame to a total of six tournament championships and his players have collectively earned four PING All-Midwest Region honors and 14 All-BIG EAST accolades.

It didn’t take long for Kubinski to make his mark at Notre Dame. In his first tournament at the helm of the Irish, just one month after setting foot on campus, Kubinski guided Notre Dame to the championship of the 2005 NOKIA Sugar Bowl Tulane Invitational, winning the title on the first hole of a sudden death playoff against UNCWilmington. It was the first of two tournament crowns in the 2004-05 season for Notre Dame and made Kubinski the first Irish men’s golf coach since 1961 to win the opening event of his career. That season, Rev. Clarence Durbin, C.S.C., led the Irish

to a 23.5-6.5 dual-match win over Western Michigan.

That was the start of what has been a solid sixyear run for the Notre Dame skipper, who piloted the Irish to consecutive BIG EAST Conference titles in 2005 and 2006, and back-to-back NCAA regional appearances both years.What’s more, Notre Dame has regularly collected votes in the Golf World Top 25 coaches’ poll and has risen as high as No. 12 in the Golfweek rankings (Oct. 2, 2005) under Kubinski. He has an overall record of 411-432-17 (.488).

Under Kubinski’s guidance, Notre Dame has registered 25 top-five finishes, including six tournament titles, two of which came in sudden-death playoffs. The Irish also have carded the top five single-season stroke averages in school history under Kubinski, including a 294.41 stroke average in 2009-10, the second best mark in program history. The top mark, which also came under Kubinski, came in 2005-06 when the Irish carded a 292.97 stroke average. In addition, Notre Dame has fired 11 of the top 12 single-round scores in school history, including impressive final-round postseason efforts at the 2005 NCAA Central Regional (282, +2) and the 2006 BIG EAST Championship (school-record 272, -16). The latter score highlighted a 12-stroke comeback victory

over Louisville, the second-best rally in the storied history of the Irish men’s golf program, and led to Notre Dame’s selection as the Golfweek National Team of the Week (May 1, 2006) for the first time in program history.

Individually, Kubinski has produced impressive results with several Irish players in a short span of time. Cole Isban became the first three-time PING All-Midwest Region selection (2005-07) in program history under Kubinski’s tutelage, and graduated in May 2007 as the school record holder for single-season stroke average (72.71 in 2006-07) and is still the program’s career stroke average leader with a 73.76 mark.

Josh Sandman, a 2008 PING All-Midwest Region selection and two-time all-BIG EAST pick, took up where Isban left off.

Working with Kubinski, Sandman posted a 73.90 career stroke average in 111 rounds for the second best mark in program history. He also broke new ground, becoming the first Notre Dame golfer ever chosen as an individual qualifier for NCAA regional play, earning a berth in the 2008 NCAA Central Regional. He came back from injuries to play an integral role with the Irish in 2009-10. Sandman won the 2009 Fighting Irish Gridiron Golf Classic for his first career win and graduated with four of the top-30 single season stroke averages in the Irish record books.

Doug Fortner, a 2010 graduate, also experienced great success under Kubinski’s tutelage. He played 117 rounds with the Irish, carded a 74.59 career stroke average (eighth-best since 1954) and saw 102 of his rounds counted towards team scoring. As a senior, Fortner was one of four unanimous selections to the 2010 All-BIG EAST team as he became just the third player in program history to earn allconference honors on three occasions - joining Mark Baldwin and Cole Isban in that select group.

He also fired a seven-under par 64 in the opening round of the 2010 FAU Spring Break Championship to tie Baldwin for the lowest to-par round in school history.

Even though Sandman and Fortner, staples of the lineup over Notre Dame’s past few seasons, have graduated, Kubinski has proved adept at restocking the Irish roster with talent. Max Scodro, Chris Walker and Tom Usher look poised to lead the Irish in the coming seasons. Scodro has earned All-BIG EAST honors in his first two seasons NCAA with Notre Dame and was T-13th (Central) second on the 2009-10 squad 17th (East) with a 73.96 season stroke — — (Central)** average. After struggling through injuries in the fall of — — 2009, Usher helped anchor the Irish lineup in the spring T-13th (Central)

Assistant Coach

Steve Colnitis

Assistant Coach Five Years Notre Dame ’05

Steve Colnitis, a member of two BIG EAST Conference championship teams and two NCAA Central Regional qualifying squads at Notre Dame from 2001-05, is in his sixth year as an assistant coach for the Fighting Irish. Colnitis (pronounced coal-NIGHT-iss) aids in many of the day-to-day operations of the men’s golf program, including recruiting, practice planning and travel scheduling.

In his five seasons on the Notre Dame staff, Colnitis helped guide the Irish to the 2006 BIG EAST Conference title and the corresponding NCAA regional berth as well as BIG EAST runner-up finishes in 2007 and 2010. He also was instrumental in helping Notre Dame to the top five single-season stroke averages in school history (school-record 292.97 in 2005-06, 294.41 in 2009-10, 295.71 in 2006-07, 295.27 in 2007-08 and 297.97 in 2008-09).

What’s more, Colnitis is putting his stamp on the Irish program as a recruiter. His latest success can be seen with the past three incoming freshman classes,

which included Future Collegians World Tour (FCWT) first-team All-Americans Max Scodro (who also garnered All-BIG EAST honors as a freshman and sophomore at Notre Dame) and Chris Walker, along with ‘09-10 newcomer Paul McNamara III, who was an International Junior Golf Tour (IJGT) first-team All-American in 2007.

Along with head coach Jim Kubinksi, Colnitis has added a deep three-player class for the 2010-11 campaign that includes Andrew Carreon, Andrew Lane and Niall Platt. Carreon is ranked in the top75 recruits by Golfweek, while Lane is considered the best recruit from the state of New York by that same outlet. Additionally, Platt was named a 2009 American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) HP Scholastic All-American.

“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with Steve these last five years,” head coach Jim Kubinski said.

“As he’s grown within the job, he’s added more and more to our program. I know we all respect him as a person. It’s also especially helpful for me to be able to bounce ideas off Steve and know that he has a great pulse on our players and the college game.

We’re fortunate to have him.”

“I am very excited to be a part of the Notre Dame community,” Colnitis said. “I have had the pleasure of seeing our team improve tremendously during my playing career and I am thrilled to continue being a part of our team’s success.”

Colnitis joined the Irish coaching staff in 2005 following a four-year career on the Notre Dame men’s golf team, earning a pair of monograms along the way. He competed in 13 tournaments during his career, posting a 77.86 stroke average, and served as a tri-captain for the Irish in 2004-05, helping Notre Dame earn its second consecutive BIG EAST title and a return trip to the NCAA Central Regional (where the Irish wound up only two shots shy of advancing to the NCAA finals).

Colnitis graduated from Notre Dame in May 2005, earning his bachelor’s degree in marketing from the Mendoza College of Business. He also garnered Dean’s List honors during the fall 2004 semester. Born September 15, 1982, in Baltimore, Md., Colnitis now resides in South Bend.

Season in Review

After returning from season-ending back surgery two seasons ago, fifth-year senior Josh Sandman paced the Irish in the fall campaign with a blistering 72.93 average, including medalist honors at Notre Dame’s home event, the Fighting Irish Gridiron Golf Classic. Sandman finished his heralded Irish career second in Notre Dame’s record book in scoring average (73.90), behind only Cole Isban (2004-07, 73.76).

Season Notebook Experienced - Yet Young - Irish Team Shows Flashes of Greatness In 2009-10 Team reels in two team and individual titles on the campaign.

How Low Can You Go Senior Doug Fortner etched his name into the Notre Dame individual record books after his opening round performance at the FAU Spring Break Championship in Delray Beach, Fla. Fortner opened the tournament by firing a seven-under par 64 on the 6,722 yard Gleneagles Country Club course.

Along with surpassing his personal-best round with the Irish, which came in the third round of the 2009 BIG EAST Championship when he fired a 66 (-6), Fortner also entered the Irish record book in both lowest stroke round and lowest under-par round in program history. The seven-under par round ties the program’s all-time lowest posting, tying Mark Baldwin who in the 2004-05 season fired the same score against TCU in a dual match, while the 64 strokes used by Fortner to get that score is the second lowest of all-time behind Baldwin who only needed 63 strokes against the Horned Frogs.

On Top of the Mountain Notre Dame was able to lay claim to the top spot on the podium with the team score on two occasions during the 2009-10 season, with a third victory coming in a heads up match against Detroit Mercy at the end of the campaign. It marked the first time since the ’04-05 schedule that the Irish have captured two tournament wins as a team in a single season.

The Irish staked claim to their first win of the season as they played host to the fifteen-team field at the Fighting Irish Gridiron Golf Classic (FIGGC), posting a three-round total of 870 (+30) in very difficult scoring conditions from Warren Golf Course. They would return to the top spot during the spring season, holding off a seven-team field at the two-round Bandon Dunes Championship with a mark of 622 (+54).

Along with team medalist success, the Irish also saw themselves atop the individual podium at both the FIGGC and the Bandon Dunes Championship as fifth-year senior Josh Sandman (212, +2) took home the crown from Warren Golf Course, while Fortner (150, +8) copped the Bandon Dunes Championship title, marking his first career tournament title.

Individually, Fortner (73.85 average) and sophomore Max Scodro (73.96 average) paced the way for the team.The duo also notched five total top-10 results with three of those landing them within the top five as well. Each player also earned at least a share of one tournament title on the year, with Fortner winning the Bandon Dunes Championship while Scodro, along with Irish teammate Tom Usher, landed a share of first at the BIG EAST Championships with a two-over par 215 before falling to Vincenzo Salina of Georgetown on the first sudden victory hole.

Game, Set … The Match Play For the first time since joining the conference, the Irish took park in a match-play formatted tournament, hosted by DePaul and USF. The Irish entered the event as the No. 1 overall seed, which was based off of having the highest Golfstat ranking at the time of the event.

BIG EAST Accolades Abound for Irish

The Irish, on the heels of a very strong stroke-average season, garnered many honors from the conference along the way. Sandman grabbed the first honor when he was selected as the BIG EAST Golfer of the Month for September after recording a 71.00 stroke average in the team’s first three tournaments, including the victory at the FIGGC. Fortner received honors during the spring schedule, earning back-to-back BIG EAST Golfer of the Week accolades (March 16 & 31) after solid performances at the Bandon Dunes Championship (first place) and FAU Spring Break Championship (tie for second), respectively.

At the conclusion of the BIG EAST Championships, Fortner, Scodro and Usher were named to the 2010 All-BIG EAST golf team. The triumvirate made Notre Dame the only team to place three teammates on the squad, and it was the eighth time in the past nine seasons that the Irish have had more than one person named All-BIG EAST. Fortner also became just the third Irish golfer to be named to the team three times in his career, joining the likes of Baldwin and Cole Isban with that distinction.

From a student-organized start in 1923, through the eras of two coaching priests, Notre Dame has established itself among the finest schools in college golf. During their first 42 years alone, the Irish were victorious more than 350 times while winning the 1944 NCAA title, 13 state crowns and several tournament championships.

The Early Years Golf had its beginnings at Notre Dame in 1922, when students from the South introduced the sport to their Northern counterparts. In only one year, these addicts, known as the “snicker sisters,” had sparked enough interest that a tournament was held at the South Bend municipal links. Paul McNulty won the first championship.

A full-fledged team with non-varsity status was organized in 1923, but was unsuccessful in its two dual meets. The squad played six matches the following season, winning five and losing to Northwestern by a point.

In the late 20s, the University opened a golf course on the west side of campus and dedicated it to the land’s donor, William J. Burke. The installation of the 18-hole layout proved to be a prime reason behind the 1930 approval by the University for golf to become a varsity sport at Notre Dame.

While the athletic department took over the responsibilities of scheduling and expenses, the golf team continued to function without a head coach.

During this three-year period, the Irish were able to win 17 straight meets. The squad twice won the Indiana state meet and twice finished among the top three nationally.

The search for a golf coach ended in 1933, when the University president, Rev. John O’Hara, C.S.C, appointed the Rev. George Holderith, C.S.C, as head coach. Known as the father of Notre Dame golf for his 29-year interest and participation in the sport, Fr. Holderith’s team promptly ran off a record 20 straight wins. Notre Dame continued its dominance through the 1930s, recording eight consecutive Indiana state crowns in addition to seven consecutive top-10 finishes in the NCAA Championship. In 1934, Notre Dame became the first school ever to qualify five players for the NCAA match play championship.

All-American Tom Sheehan and Rev. George Holderith, C.S.C., the “father of Notre Dame golf.”

1946, Dick Whiting became the second of Notre Dame’s four first-team All-Americans.

The 1950s provided more bright spots for the Irish. A third-place finish in the 1951 NCAAs more than made up for one of only two losing seasons in the first 22 years of Notre Dame golf history. Two of Notre Dame’s best shotmakers played for the Irish in the ’50s: first team AllAmericans Tom Veech and Tom Matey. Later in the decade, second-team All-American Joe Grace and third-teamer Charles Thurn led the Irish to 37 victories over three seasons.

Change was the keynote of the 1960s. Large tournaments, some including as many as 20 teams, replaced dual meets due to financial and academic pressures. The Irish also changed coaches, as Rev. Clarence Durbin, C.S.C., returned to his alma mater, the University of Portland. During his 11-year tenure at Notre Dame, Fr. Durbin tutored several All-Americans, including Joe Grace’s brother, Tom, and the record-setting Mike Championship Magic O’Connell. The 1964 squad took fourth in the The 1940s era of Notre Dame golf saw the NCAAs, with the squad returning intact in ’65 to school reach the ultimate in its sport — an NCAA defeat 18 opponents. championship. That ultimate accomplishment came With nearly 350 wins between them, Fr. in 1944, when the foursome of James Besenfelder, Holderith and Fr. Durbin combined to instruct Jack Fitzpatrick, Bob Terry and captain Mel Wilke, several noteworthy players. Winfield Day (1934combined for a 311 score at the famed Inverness 36) was a prolific scorer and won the Notre Dame Club in Toledo, Ohio.

inherited a solid group of returnees, led by cocaptains Doug Giorgio and Pat Mohan, and the first-year coach guided the Irish into the 1990s with the focus on remaining competitive within the Midwest.

The early leaders of the 1990s included 1992-93 co-captains Chris Dayton and Joe Dennen and brothers Mike and Chris O’Connell (a two-year captain).

The Irish finished as the runner-up at the first four Midwestern Collegiate Conference Championships of the 1990s before capturing the ’94-’95 title in their final year in the league.

The program experienced a renaissance of sorts in 1995-96, when Notre Dame joined the BIG EAST Conference. The move provided plenty of excitement for the Irish right from the start, as Notre Dame won three consecutive conference titles — two by a single stroke (1996 and 1997) and by 13 strokes in 1998. The ’96 crown was particularly satisfying, as the Irish rebounded from a 13-shot first-round deficit to claim (at the time) the 36-hole title. That comeback remains the largest in school history.

Medalist Bill Moore led Notre Dame to that first BIG EAST championship, while two-year cocaptains Brian Donohoe and Joel Hepler played major roles in the first two conference titles. Todd Vernon’s medalist finish then proved to be the highlight of the ’98 BIG EAST crowning for the Irish.

Return To Excellence It would be another six years before Notre Dame returned to the top of the BIG EAST mountain for another three-year run of excellence.

Building a bridge between those title runs were such talents as Brad Hardin, Willie Kent, Jeff Connell, Alex Kent and Steve Ratay, all of whom rank among the top 20 golfers in school history.

Connell (2000) and Ratay (2001-02) also strung together three consecutive Academic All-America selections, a first in the program’s illustrious history.

Adding to the rebirth of the Irish golf program was the construction of the Warren Golf Course, which made its debut in 2000. Made possible by a generous donation from 1956 Notre Dame alumnus Bill Warren, the par-70, 7,011-yard track was designed by PGA Tour veteran Ben Crenshaw and noted course architect Bill Coore and remains a cornerstone on the northern edge of the Notre Dame campus. A sparkling new practice arena — the 10,333-square foot Rolfs Family Varsity AllSeason Facility — was added in 2006, offering Notre Dame players and coaches not only expanded locker room and office space, but a state-of-the-art chipping/putting area and fully-equipped tee stations and hitting bays.

New Challenges The newest chapter in the Irish golf story began Noel O’Sullivan inherited the Irish golf program in the fall of 1973 and remained the director during the diamond anniversary season of 2003-04, of the program for the next 15 years. Leaders of as Notre Dame reclaimed the BIG EAST the program during the second half of the 1970s Championship, winning the conference title and an included Jeff Burda, Paul Koprowski, Tim Saurs automatic berth in the NCAA Central Regional, taking the Irish back to postseason play for the first and brothers Rich and Dave Knee.

The Irish turned in solid seasons throughout the time in 38 seasons. It would be the first of three 1980s, with players such as James “Stoney” consecutive BIG EAST titles and NCAA regional Ferlmann, Dave Moorman, two-time team captain berths for Notre Dame, with the Irish just missing a John O’Donovan and Dick Connelly leading the trip to the NCAA finals in 2004 (by four shots) and squad during the final years of the O’Sullivan era. 2005 (by two shots).

With the arrival of current head coach Jim In the fall of 1988, George Thomas became the fourth coach in the program’s history. Thomas Kubinski in January 2005, Notre Dame soared to in the 1930 NCAAs. Tom Sheehan captained two Irish squads, earned All-America designation in 1939 and broke Bobby Jones’ qualifying record at the U. S. Amateur. Veech gained his All-America recognition in 1949, after defeating a young upstart from Wake Forest named Arnold Palmer.

Matey followed in the sizable footsteps of the 6-3, 300-pound Veech. Matey earned All-America honors in 1951 while qualifying for the U.S. Open and three NCAA match play championships. Tom Grace remains the only two-time All-America selection in Notre Dame history (’61, ’62) and turned in a memorable 36-hole record of 135 during his career.

The Irish golf program also welcomed future professional great Billy Casper to campus in 1950. Casper never had the chance to play for Notre Dame, due to a naval assignment in Korea following his first and only semester.

Veech recorded the highest finish of a Notre Dame golfer in a major professional event, placing fifth (behind champion Jack Nicklaus) in the 1967 Western Open at the Beverly Country Club in Chicago.

new heights, finishing fourth or better in four of its seven spring 2005 tournaments. Cole Isban also made history, becoming the first Notre Dame golfer in 25 years to earn regional or national honors with a spot on the PING All-Midwest Region Team.

The 2005-06 campaign was a landmark one that saw the Irish shatter the school’s stroke average record with a sharp 292.97 ratio and featured four starters shooting better than 74.00 for the season.

Ranked as high as 12th nationally during the fall, Notre Dame carded five top-five finishes, but none was more impressive than its sudden-death playoff win at the BIG EAST Championship (which featured a 12-shot final-round comeback, as well as school records for 18 holes [272] and 54 holes [842]). Isban earned a return trip to the all-region squad after posting a school-record 72.97 stroke average with four top-10 finishes.

Isban became the first three-time all-region pick in 2007, while also passing the torch to Josh Sandman, who went on to garner his own allregion citation a year later with five consecutive top-10 finishes at the end of the regular season. He also became the first Irish individual ever chosen for NCAA regional play and graduated with the second best stroke average in program history (73.90). Meanwhile, Notre Dame has continued to build a solid team foundation, carding the top five stroke averages in school history from 2005-06 through 2009-10. A trio of juniors in Max Scodro, Tom Usher and Chris Walker will now look to lead the Irish back to NCAA play in 2010-11.

Byron V. Kanaley Award The most prestigious honor awarded to a Notre Dame student-athlete, the Byron V. Kanaley Award has been presented each year since 1927 to the senior monogram athletes who have been most exemplary as both students and leaders. The awards, presented by the Faculty Board on Athletics, are named in honor of a Weedsport, N.Y., native and 1904 Notre Dame graduate who was a member of the Irish baseball team as an undergraduate. Kanaley went on to a successful banking career in Chicago and served the University as a lay trustee from 1915 until his death in 1960.

The Notre Dame men’s golf team has produced two winners of the award. Steve Ratay (Arlington Heights, Ill.), received the honor following the 2002 season, joining 1962 winner, Al Highducheck (Waterbury, Conn.).

Ratay finished his Notre Dame career as one of the top golfers in the program’s storied history. A two-time Academic AllAmerican (2001, 2002), Ratay graduated with the program’s lowest single-season average (73.03) in 2001-02 and finished his career with the second-best average (74.46 in 105 career rounds). Highducheck helped the Irish finish 17th at the 1962 NCAA Tournament. He appeared in 18 regular-season matches as a senior during that 1962 season while ranking second on the team with 76.2 strokes per round.

NCAA COMPLIANCE REGULATIONS

Thank you for your tremendous support of our entire athletics program. Our 800+ student-athletes, our coaches and administrative staff are very appreciative of your spirit and affinity for Notre Dame, in particular intercollegiate athletics.

With that, your adherence to all applicable NCAA rules and regulations is essential as we strive to maintain and enhance our national athletic prominence while protecting the University’s tradition of integrity and values.

Our Compliance Office staff stands prepared to assist you with your

questions and concerns regarding NCAA regulations. Please contact us immediately should you have concern regarding any situation.

Your attention to these matters will ensure that the eligibility of both prospective student-athletes (“recruits”) and enrolled student-athletes is protected and maintained. Again, many thanks for your cooperation in this matter and your ongoing support.

Go Fighting Irish!

The Compliance Staff

WHO IS A REPRESENTATIVE OF NOTRE DAME’S ATHLETICS INTERESTS?

DOs AND DON’Ts FOR REPRESENTATIVES IN REGARDS TO A CURRENT STUDENT-ATHLETE:

(The following lists of examples are not all-inclusive. As always, ask before you act!)

You are, if: • you are an enrolled student or graduate of the University.

(The following lists of examples are not all-inclusive. As always, ask before you act!)

• you have ever participated in or are a member of any organization promoting Notre Dame’s athletics program. (The former Quarterback Club, The 3-Pt. Club, The Fast-Break Club, etc.)

• you have ever made financial contributions to the University of Notre Dame athletics department.

DO You may: • contact a current student-athlete regarding employment opportunities; however, no contact may be made without approval from the Compliance Office.

• provide a student-athlete, not their family and friends, an occasional (once a semester) meal at your home.

DON’T

• you have ever helped to arrange employment of or provided any benefits to prospective or enrolled student-athletes.

• you have ever been a season ticket holder in any sport.

• you have ever promoted the athletics programs at the University of Notre Dame.

According to NCAA rules, once an individual has been identified as an institutional “representative of athletics interests” the individual retains that title for life. The University of Notre Dame is ultimately responsible for the behavior of all its athletics representatives in relation to NCAA rules and regulations. Violations of NCAA regulations by an athletics representative could result in the loss of eligibility for involved student-athletes (e.g. no participation in competitions) and/ or severe sanctions against the University (e.g. loss of scholarships, television and post-season bans).

CURRENT STUDENT-ATHLETE A student-athlete is any Notre Dame student who is a member of a varsity athletics team.

NCAA regulations apply to all student-athletes, not just those studentathletes who were recruited or who receive an athletics scholarship. *Note: NCAA regulations concerning enrolled student-athletes remain in effect throughout the entire year (including summer break). If a student-athlete has completed his/her final season of eligibility, all NCAA regulations must be adhered to until he/she graduates or leaves school.

You may not: • provide a currently enrolled student-athlete, their parents or friends any benefit or special arrangement without prior approval from the Compliance Office.

• pay for or arrange for payment of room, board or any type of transportation for a student-athlete or their family and friends.

• entertain student-athletes or their family and friends. (Exception: NCAA rules do permit institutional staff members and athletics representatives to provide student-athletes (not including their family and friends) with an occasional meal (defined as once a semester) provided the meal is at the staff member’s or athletic representative’s home and not at a restaurant.)

• use the name, picture or appearance of an enrolled student-athlete to advertise, recommend or promote sales or use of a commercial product or service of any kind. Any use of a student-athlete’s name, picture or appearance must receive authorization from the Compliance Office.

• provide any payment of expense or loan of an automobile for a student-athlete to return home or to any other location.

• provide awards or gifts to a student-athlete for any reason. All awards provided to student-athletes must first be approved by the Compliance Office and meet all NCAA regulations.

• provide an honorarium to a student-athlete for a speaking engagement. All speaking engagements must be approved in advance by the Compliance Office.

• allow a student-athlete, his/her relatives or friends to use your telephone to make free calls.

COMPLIANCE CONTINUED • continue established family relationships with friends and neighbors.

Contacts with sons and daughters of these families are permitted so long as they are not made for recruiting purposes or encouraged by Notre Dame coaches.

• provide free or reduced cost lodging in your home to a studentathlete or a student-athlete’s family and friends.

PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETE A prospective student-athlete is any student who has started classes for the ninth grade. Any student younger than ninth grade who receives any benefits from an institution or athletics representative would also become a prospective student-athlete. In addition, student-athletes enrolled in preparatory school or two-year colleges are considered prospective student-athletes. * Note: An individual is considered a prospect (whether or not they have signed a National Letter-of-Intent) until the first day of initial collegiate enrollment or the first day they report for practice, whichever is earliest. Therefore, all NCAA regulations concerning contact with a prospective student-athlete are applicable until that time.

THE DOs AND DON’Ts FOR REPRESENTATIVES IN REGARDS TO A PROSPECTIVE STUDENTATHLETE: (The following lists of examples are not all-inclusive. As always, ask before you act!)

DO • forward information about prospective student-athletes to the appropriate coaching staff.

• have telephone contact with a prospect regarding permissible preenrollment activities such as summer employment, provided the prospect has graduated from high school and signed a National Letter of Intent.

• have a telephone conversation with a prospect only if the prospect initiates the call. Such a call may not be prearranged by an institutional staff member and you are not permitted to have a recruiting conversation, but may exhibit normal civility. You must refer any questions about our athletics programs to an athletics department staff member/coach.

• view a prospect’s athletic contest at your own initiative provided you do not contact the prospect or his/her parents. In addition, you may not contact a prospect’s coach, principal, or counselor in an attempt to evaluate the prospect.

Jill Bodensteiner, Associate Director of Athletics (574) 631-9647 or jbodenst@nd.edu

DON’T You may not: • write, e-mail or telephone a prospective student-athlete or his/her parents in an effort to recruit them to Notre Dame.

• become involved in making arrangements to provide money, financial aid or a benefit of any kind to a prospect or the prospect’s family and friends.

• make contact with a prospective student-athlete and his/her parents when the prospect is on-campus for an official or unofficial recruiting visit.

• contact a prospect to congratulate him/her on signing a National Letter of Intent to attend the University.

• transport, pay or arrange for payment of transportation costs for a prospect and his/her relatives or friends to visit campus (or elsewhere).

• pay or arrange for payment of summer camp registration fees for a prospect.

• provide ANYTHING to a prospect, the prospect’s family or friends without prior approval from the Compliance Office.

The support of our alumni and friends is welcomed and appreciated.

We ask, however, that you also help to keep Notre Dame’s tradition of athletics integrity intact by following the NCAA regulations. Your assistance will help ensure that the eligibility of both prospective and currently enrolled student-athletes is protected and preserved. Your efforts to know and follow the NCAA legislation are greatly appreciated because violations could affect the eligibility of involved prospects or student-athletes and/or result in NCAA penalties being imposed on the University.

To that end, it should be our goal, as the best alumni and fans in the country, to preserve and protect each and every student-athlete’s eligibility. All NCAA legislation cannot be covered in a limited space such as this program. Therefore, any additional questions should be forwarded to the Compliance Office in the Department of Athletics.

Please remember to ask before you act!

UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME History •

•

The 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.

Students •

Graduate 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.

•

Academics •

•

•

•

The 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 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.

•

Community 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.

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.

Alumni

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.

Service

•

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.

•

The 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.
