University of Notre Dame
W
hen 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. Today researchers are achieving breakthroughs in astrophysics, radiation chemistry, environmental sciences, tropical disease transmission, cancer, robotics, and nanoelectronics. The University has also stressed residential life, with four-of-five students living on campus in the school’s 29 residence halls that serve as the focal point of social, spiritual and athletic activities. Notre Dame is one of a handful of universities with a truly international student body, coming from over 100 nations and all 50 states. Students come to Notre Dame not only to learn how to think, but to learn how to live, keeping faith with the vision of Fr. Sorin. Notre Dame is one of the few universities to regularly rank in the top 25 in the U.S. News & World Report survey of America’s best colleges and the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics Directors’ Cup standings of the best overall athletics
programs. The University ranks first among all Catholic universities worldwide, according to the 2011 Times Higher Education survey and the Mendoza College of Business at Notre Dame boasts the No. 1 undergraduate business program in the nation according to BusinessWeek magazine.

R
ev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., is in his second five-year term as the 17th president of the University of Notre Dame. His vision is for Notre Dame to be the Catholic research university for our time – an institution that unifies, enlightens and heals by engaging in scholarship of the first rank while maintaining its distinctive Catholic character and long-time excellence in undergraduate education. During his tenure, Notre Dame has made significant progress toward its research goal, including selection as the lead partner in the Midwest Institute for Nanoelectronics Discovery, the creation of the Innovation Park research facility, and the construction of Stinson Remick Hall of Engineering. His commitment to undergraduate education has been marked by the Notre Dame Forums, yearlong initiatives that have examined important issues such as religion and world conflict, global health, immigration and energy. The University’s Catholic identity has been strengthened during Father Jenkins’ tenure in multiple ways, including the appointment of a coordinator for University life initiatives and the construction of
Thomas G. Burish Provost
multimillion-dollar facilities for the Institute for Church Life, including the Center for Social Concerns, and the Institute for Educational Initiatives, which includes the Alliance for Catholic Education.

Vice President • Director of Athletics
ohn B.“Jack”Swarbrick Jr., a University of Notre Dame graduate now in his sixth year in 201314 as vice president and director of athletics at his alma mater, has attached his signature to a variety of new initiatives during his tenure: * Launching of Fighting Irish Digital Media—a major enterprise that delivers better information about and access to Notre Dame and its athletic programs via expanded production and distribution of programming. * Championing a feasibility study that potentially would add multiple elements to Notre Dame Stadium, including a student center, facilities for digital media operations, academic and classroom spaces, hospitality locations, plus premium seating options for football games. * Creation of new community outreach and youth programming functions through the student-athlete welfare and development office. * Building of student-athlete programs and services that expand recognition of high academic achievement—and mentor and facilitate career development. * Meeting the performance needs of Notre Dame student-athletes through establishment of a new sports performance division. * Reaching out to more former Irish student-athletes, via the Notre Dame Monogram Club and other programs. In 2012-13 alone, Swarbrick played a major role in three significant announcements that positively impacted Notre Dame on the national collegiate scene: -- Creation of the four-team College Football Playoff to begin with the 2014 season, with Notre Dame maintaining viable access into that system. -- Membership for Notre Dame’s athletic teams (all but hockey) in the Atlantic Coast Conference beginning with the 201314 athletic seasons. In football, Notre Dame will play five games per year against ACC opponents beginning in 2014 and also have full access to the league’s list of postseason bowl options. -- An extension of the University’s relationship with NBC Sports through the 2025 football season. Swarbrick’s first five years combined featured a variety of on-and off-the-field Notre Dame athletics successes: * Number-one rankings for Notre Dame (among Football Bowl Subdivision schools) in the six most recent Graduation Success Rate (GSR) surveys--in 2012 at 99 for all-student-athletes (including football number one at 97, in the fourth consecutive year Notre Dame stood atop that chart). * Record involvement in community service hours by Irish student-athletes. * An appearance in the Bowl Championship Series football title game following the 2012 season—in an unprecedented year in which the Irish finished the regular season 12-0 to rank number one in the final BCS poll while also ranking number one in the GSR standings. * NCAA championships in 2011 in fencing (a men’s and women’s combined championship) and 2010 in women’s soccer. * NCAA runner-up team finishes in 2013 in fencing, 2012 and 2011 in women’s basketball, 2010 in men’s lacrosse, 2009 in fencing and 2008 in women’s soccer. * NCAA semifinal appearances in women’s basketball in 2013, men’s lacrosse in 2012, hockey in 2011, women’s tennis in both 2009 and 2010 and women’s soccer in 2009, plus 2010 and 2012 third-place fencing finishes. * Consensus national coach-of-the-year honors for Muffet McGraw in women’s basketball in 2012-13, Brian Kelly in football in 2012, Randy Waldrum in women’s soccer in both 2010 and 2009 and for Mike Brey in men’s basketball in 2010-11. * A 2011 Hall of Fame induction for Muffet McGraw, a Hermann Trophy for women’s
soccer national player of the year Kerri Hanks in 2008—plus an unprecedented sweep of seven national individual football awards by Manti Te’o in 2012. * Construction of the 5,022-seat Compton Family Ice Arena that opened for the 2011-12 season and features two sheets of ice (one Olympic sized). The 2009-10 school year also featured dedications of new facilities for soccer and lacrosse--as well as opening of the new Purcell Pavilion within the south dome of the Joyce Center. Before coming back to Notre Dame, Swarbrick rose to national prominence as a lawyer, consultant and executive in the collegiate and Olympic sports industries Born in Yonkers, N.Y., and raised in Yonkers and Bloomington, Ind., he 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, one of the largest in the state. He was made partner in 1987 and spent 28 years with the firm. As a member of the Indiana Sports Corporation, including the chairmanship from 1992 to 2001, Swarbrick led many of Indianapolis’ successful proposals to a wide array of athletics organizations--from the National Football League (NFL) to the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) to the Big Ten Conference. His leadership efforts resulted in the city: * Earning the right to play host to the 2012 Super Bowl in Indianapolis at Lucas Oil Stadium. * Becoming the home of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) national headquarters in 1999. * Hosting the 1987 Pan American Games, where Swarbrick served as the director of competition. * Hosting the 1991 World Gymnastics Championships. * Hosting NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Fours and other college championship competitions and a wide array of national and world championships in the Olympic sports. * Securing rights to host the Big Ten Conference men’s and women’s basketball tournaments at Conseco Fieldhouse for five consecutive years beginning in 2008. At Baker & Daniels Swarbrick served as general counsel for numerous national governing bodies of Olympic sports, including USA Gymnastics, and as a consultant to various bid cities and host committees for Olympic Games and world championships. In his work as an advisor to the NCAA, Swarbrick coordinated the men’s College Basketball Partnership, an NCAA-led group that addresses the opportunities and challenges in the sport; developed the business plan for the new NBA/NCAA youth basketball enterprise, iHoops; served as a member of the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Discussion Group, and chaired the NCAA/USOC task force dedicated to developing proposals to expand sponsorship of Olympic sports among NCAA member institutions. In 2000 Swarbrick received one of the NCAA’s highest honors, The Flying Wedge Award, for his work in establishing Indianapolis as the new home of the NCAA. In 2001 he was honored by the State of Indiana with the Sagamore of the Wabash Award. In 2002 he received the Pathfinder Award from Youthlinks Indiana for his service to youth in the state of Indiana. He received an honorary monogram from the Notre Dame Monogram Club in 2012. Born March 19, 1954, Swarbrick was named Notre Dame’s 12th athletics director on July 16, 2008. He and his wife, Kimberly, are the parents of four children: Kate, a 2010 graduate of St. Louis University; Connor, a 2011 graduate of Wake Forest University; Cal, a senior at TCU; and Christopher, a University of Notre Dame junior.

Academic Excellence
Irish Athletes Again Ranked #1 In NCAA Graduation Ratings The University of Notre Dame once again claimed the 2012 national championship for graduating its student-athletes in all sports -in the process posting the top NCAA Graduation Success Rate (GSR) figure (99) for its studentathletes for the sixth straight year. The GSR number for all Notre Dame student-athletes rated the Irish first among the 120 football-playing institutions in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly Division I-A). The 2012 NCAA figures are based on entering classes from 2002 through 2005. Whether measured by the federal government in its Department of Education report or by the NCAA through its GSR numbers, graduation rates for Notre Dame student-athletes once again ranked either number one or among the handful of national leaders in five major categories among all major football-playing colleges and universities. Notre Dame’s institutional research found that Irish student-athletes in 2012 ranked number one in five of 10 major categories -- ranking second in three others and third in another. That’s based on the NCAA-issued GSR and federal figures.
6
For the fourth year in a row Notre Dame led the nation in four GSR categories--for all student-athletes (at 99), male student-athletes (98), female student-athletes (100) and football student-athletes (97). Notre Dame also ranked number one in the federal numbers for male student-athletes (89). In calculations that include all studentathletes in all sports, Notre Dame ranked first among the FBS schools in the GSR figures, which were initiated in 2005 by the NCAA. The University’s 99 percent GSR for all its studentathletes ranked just ahead of the 98 figure for Duke. Using the federal formula, Notre Dame graduated a four-year average of 91 percent of its student-athletes, just behind Stanford at 92. In the GSR standings, the Irish led the way in four categories. In addition to its numberone ranking for all student-athletes (99), Notre Dame finished first among female student athletes at 100 (tied with Wake Forest), first among male student-athletes at 98 percent (ahead of Duke and Northwestern at 96), first among football players at 97 percent (tied with Northwestern), and second among black
UNIVERSITY of NOTRE DAME®
student-athletes at 98 percent (behind only Rice at 100). Notre Dame graduated 94 percent of all women competing in varsity athletics to rank second among its peer institutions based on the federal calculations (behind Stanford at 96). Among men, Notre Dame’s 89 percent federal rate also was first, tied with Stanford. Notre Dame graduated 82 percent of its black student-athletes, ranking third based on the federal rate, and Irish football players graduated at an 83 percent rate, to rank sixth. Nineteen of 22 athletics programs at Notre Dame compiled graduation rates of 100 percent, and none were below 91 percent, according to the eighth year of GSR measurements developed by the NCAA. None of the 120 Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly NCAA Division I-A) programs in the country had a higher percentage of 100 GSR scores than did Notre Dame with its .863 number (19 of 22). In addition, Notre Dame ranked second among all FBS institutions with nine perfect scores among 22 sports (.409) in the federal graduation rate analysis.
Notre Dame Athletics Leads The Way In NCAA’s APR The University of Notre Dame ranked number one once again among all Football Bowl Subdivision institutions with 15 of its athletics programs receiving 2013 Academic Progress Rate public recognition awards. Duke University also had 15 programs honored, tying Notre Dame for the top spot in the FBS subset. Fifteen Irish teams posted multi-year APR scores in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports. In their seventh year, the public recognition honors are part of the broad Division I academic reform effort. The awards are based on APR numbers that represent the combination of scores from the 2008-09, 200910, 2010-11 and 2011-12 academic years. The 15 Notre Dame programs honored this year for multi-year achievement: • Men’s Sports (11): baseball, basketball, cross country, fencing, golf, lacrosse, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor track and field, and outdoor track & field. • Women’s Sports (4): cross country, golf, softball, and swimming and diving. Notre Dame’s 15 recognized sports this year follow two consecutive years (2011 and 2012) that a program-best 17 Irish teams were honored with the award. The NCAA recognized
15 Notre Dame programs in 2010 after 14 programs were honored in 2009. Eleven Irish teams earned recognition each of the previous two years, in both 2007 and 2008. The FBS institutions that ranked in the top 10 in 2013, in terms of programs honored: 1. (tie) Notre Dame, Duke 15; 3. Northwestern 14; 4. (tie) Boston College, Stanford 13; 6. (tie) Penn State, Vanderbilt 8; 8. Rice 7; 9. (tie) Texas, Illinois, Ohio State 6. The APR provides a real-time look at a team’s academic success each semester by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete. The APR includes both retention at an institution and academic eligibility in its calculation and provides a clear picture of the academic culture in each sport. The effort is part of a public-recognition program the NCAA Division I Board of Directors approved in January 2006. Notre Dame has received public recognition awards each of the eight years of the program.
Irish Golf Succeeds In The Classroom All 12 Notre Dame players received BIG EAST Conference Academic All-Star recognition for the 2011-12 academic year. Andrew Carreon, Ryan Coughlin, Patrick Grahek, Edward Hjerpe, Andrew Lane, Paul McNamara, Niall Platt,

George Thomas Tribute
George Thomas (1924-2012) 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 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. He passed away in December 2012 from natural causes. Thomas was 87 at the time of his death.

Season Preview
Cory Sciupider (above) and teammate Niall Platt, Notre Dame’s most recent all-conference selections, return to the Irish lineup for the 2013-14 season.
Season Preview Irish Gear Up For First ACC Season
Notre Dame returns two all-conference players and four starters to the fold in 2013-14 The University of Notre Dame men’s golf team will attempt to carry the momentum built in its final round of competition as a BIG EAST Conference member into its first season as an Atlantic Coast Conference affiliate in 2013-14. The Irish closed the 2013 BIG EAST Championship with an eight-under par round of 280, their thirdbest single round effort all-time at the conference tournament, to claim solo third place. The finish capped an 18-year conference relationship that saw Notre Dame win the BIG EAST Championship eight times, while never placing outside of the tournament’s top-five teams. “The BIG EAST was a good home to us for many years,” Notre Dame head coach Jim Kubinski said. “I appreciated the fact that the sport of golf grew a great deal and the championship itself improved each and every year. We, as coaches, formed so many great relationships and friendships over the years that it’s tough to see the competition between us end.” Ironically, Notre Dame opened the 2012 fall season in the heart of ACC country at the Tar Heel Intercollegiate (Sept. 15-16), hosted by the University of North Carolina. The Southern stop was the first of four team tournaments (five overall) for the Irish during the autumn months, which ultimately yielded three team top-five finishes and one individual medalist. “With only two returning starters and only one senior, the fall season saw us offer lineup opportunities to several first-time starters,” Kubinski said. “We improved in different ways at each event, capped by a second-place finish at the Georgetown Intercollegiate to end the fall. It was fun to see junior Niall Platt earn his first collegiate victory (Macdonald Cup, Oct. 29-30), doing so at the venerable Yale golf course. Senior Paul McNamara led us in scoring, achieving a career-low scoring average. Junior Andrew Lane was our most consistent player, finishing up at Georgetown with his fall low of 71 but never posting a score higher than 75 at any point. “I don’t think sophomore Tyler Wingo’s effort in the Earl Yestingsmeier Invitational (Oct. 15-16) at Ball State should be forgotten either. It was Tyler’s collegiate best finish and in a field that included the lineup of an NCAA Championship qualifier. He played very well throughout and showed that he can be a strong contributor moving forward.” A competitive spring followed for the Irish, highlighted by a tie for fifth place at the C&F Bank Intercollegiate (March 25) and the aforementioned BIG EAST Championship (April 28-30) performance. The C&F Bank Intercollegiate, which was ultimately shortened to only 18 holes because of unplayable course conditions, featured a total of 31 teams, making it one of the largest tournament fields in collegiate golf.

“Our spring season saw us make a nice run at the BIG EAST Championship, posting the low round of the entire event (280 in the final round) and the low score for the day in two of the three rounds,” Kubinski said. “While we didn’t reach our goal of a “three-peat” to finish out our years in the BIG EAST, we showed as much heart and poise that last day as any team we’ve had in my nine seasons. We also saw great performances from our two freshmen starters, Cory Sciupider and Zach Toste. “Cory, in fact, posted a Notre Dame-best freshman finish at BIG EAST with his third-place showing, as well as earning his first collegiate win at the C&F Bank Intercollegiate. I’m looking forward to the years ahead with both Cory and Zach. “ The Irish join a talented golf conference with this season’s move to the ACC, a league that had three teams ranked in the top 15 (Georgia Tech, fourth; Florida State, 11th; Duke, 13th) of the final 2013 Golfstat rankings. With fond memories of its tenure in the BIG EAST, Kubinski and his Notre Dame team are anxious to face what lies ahead. “It’s exciting to join a conference at the forefront of collegiate golf,” Kubinski said. “I’ve had the chance to compete in the ACC as a Duke assistant coach (200305), so I understand the level of competition. We’re going from a yearly favorite in the BIG EAST, having finished first or second in six of my nine seasons as a BIG EAST coach, to a program that must make advances to enjoy consistent success in the ACC. We’re all looking forward to the challenge a great deal. “ SENIORS Notre Dame will rely on an experienced core of three seniors in Niall Platt, Andrew Lane and Andrew Carreon during its inaugural ACC campaign in 201314. The threesome enters their final season with the Irish with 21 combined top-25 finishes and one medalist result. A three-year starter, Platt leads all active players with six career top fives, 10 career top 10s and a 73.55 scoring average. His scoring average ranks second all-time to Max Scodro’s (’12) career clip of 73.25. A three-time all-conference selection and the 2011 BIG EAST Freshman of the Year, Platt broke through for his first NCAA tournament win at the 2012 Macdonald Cup on the historic Course at Yale. Rounds of 68-70138 (-2) gave the Santa Barbara, Calif. native medalist honors by one stroke. “Niall may go down as the most experienced player in Notre Dame golf history, as he has played every tournament for us since his arrival as a freshman,” Kubinski said. “I’m not sure how the total rounds played for the program stands right now but can’t recall any player playing every event over four years. Niall has that opportunity in front of him. I think he’ll take advantage of it. He has shown an ability to post low rounds over the years and has been the most

consistent player I’ve ever coached, maintaining a scoring average in the 73 range each of his three years.” Lane worked his way into the regular starting lineup for the first time last season, posting a pair of top-25 finishes, including a career-best tie for third at the C&F Bank Intercollegiate. The Notre Dame junior was also among the top-two Irish finishers in five of his nine starts. “Andrew is a player who keeps improving and one who will post more and more low rounds as his comfort level grows,” Kubinski said. “His 68 in March at the C&F Bank, showed that ability.” Carreon looks to improve upon his successful results in limited tournament action during his first three seasons on the Notre Dame squad. In six career starts, the San Antonio, Texas native has three top-25 finishes, including top-20 results in each of the last two Fighting Irish Gridiron Golf Classic events at the Warren Golf Course. “Andrew served as a co-captain and our StudentAthlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) president last year, so leadership and care for others are two of “AC’s” strong attributes,” Kubinski said. “His short game has improved considerably. He has also posted some very good scores in places. He simply needs to keep those off days closer to par and gain a bit of experience to contribute for us.” JUNIORS A total of four players are expected to return to the fold as members of the Irish junior class in 2013-14. Patrick Grahek, David Lowe, Peyton Vitter and Tyler Wingo make up the largest class for Notre Dame heading into its first ACC season. “The juniors are an interesting class, one that grew to four with David’s transfer to Notre Dame last year,” Kubinski said. “They’re a talented group but one that has been trying to find their way the last couple of years. With the group we had in the 2012 senior class (Max Scodro, Chris Walker, Tom Usher), along with Niall and Paul, lineup spots were tough to earn for the

juniors their first year. Last year was more of an opportunity and all four earned a spot at different points. They’ve been growing all along and I’m looking to see that continue this season.” Grahek appeared in a career-high three tournaments last season, earning a nod in the starting lineup at the Irish Creek Collegiate April 6-7. The native of Alpharetta, Ga. turned in a tie for 19th place at the Earl Yestingsmeier Invitational, firing a pair of 73s in the first and third rounds. Lowe earned a position in the starting lineup for his first tournament at Notre Dame during the fall campaign, competing with the Irish five at the Tar Heel Intercollegiate. Lowe posted a career-low round of even-par 72 during the second round on the UNC Finley Golf Course. The Irish sophomore played as an individual at both the Fighting Irish Gridiron Golf Classic (Oct. 7-9) and the Earl Yestingsmeier Invitational, logging a career-best tie for 28th place in his latter appearance. Vitter made a total of five appearances during the 2012-13 season, including three starts in the Irish five-man lineup. The native of New Orleans, La. carded his best 18 (70), 36 (147) and 54-hole (220) scores as a sophomore, posting a tie for 13th place at the Earl Yestingsmeier Invitational. Wingo enjoyed a breakout season as one of the constants in the Notre Dame starting five, appearing in eight of the team’s nine tournaments. He registered a career-best two top 25s, including a runner-up

finish at the Earl Yestingsmeier Invitational, closing the event with matching scores of one-under par, 69. The 6-0 sophomore became the only Notre Dame player to shoot back-to-back rounds in the 60s last season on the strength of his day two surge at the Delaware Country Club in Muncie, Ind. SOPHOMORES The two members of the Irish sophomore class enjoyed solid performances during their freshman season. Cory Sciupider and Zach Toste became the first Notre Dame freshmen tandem to earn top-25 finishes at the BIG EAST Championship since 2003 (Tommy Balderston, Mark Baldwin and Cole Isban). “Our rising sophomores did a fantastic job for us to close out the 2012-13 campaign,” Kubinski said. “Each faced great challenges over the fall, whether due to Illness or just in struggling to adjust to the challenges college life and athletics present, but to see how each not only handled their adversity but actually grew throughout the year was tremendous. They’re both “green light” guys, meaning they bring their best to tournaments, when some players show their best in practice. I love how they compete, actually gaining focus when the pressure increases. It’s a journey for every player, with highs and lows, but these guys will contribute for us.” Sciupider became the first Notre Dame freshman in the program’s 18-year affiliation with the BIG EAST Conference to finish the BIG EAST Championship under par, turning in a three-round total of 211 (7272-67, -5) to post a third-place result last season. The 6-1 product of Etowah, N.C. logged the third-lowest cumulative score at the conference tournament in Irish program history. Sciupider also claimed co-medalist honors at the C&F Bank Intercollegiate, firing a bogey-free three-under par 67 in inclement weather conditions to secure his first career NCAA tournament win. Toste appeared in only two tournaments during his inaugural campaign with the Irish, making the most of his only start of the season at the BIG EAST Championship. The southpaw from Pembroke Pines, Fla. closed his weekend with a one-under par 71 to finish in a tie for 25th place in Notre Dame’s final appearance at the BIG EAST’s signature event.
FRESHMEN A talented and geographically diverse three-man class of 2017 will represent Notre Dame for the first time in 2013-14. Blake Barens (Villa Park, Calif.), Liam Cox (Staines, Middlesex, U.K.) and Matthew Rushton (Bluffton, S.C., by way of Cape Town, ZA) each join a talented 12-man roster that expects to return four regular starters. “It’s obviously too early to know how quickly our incoming freshmen will acclimate themselves to college life, as every player deals with it and most have a different timetable, but Blake, Matt and Liam have the ability to compete for us immediately,” Kubinski said. “They remind me of Chris (Walker), Max (Scodro) and Tom (Usher) in terms of their junior golf records, high ceilings and maybe even having the player from England similarity. To enjoy the NCAA opportunities the class of 2012 led us to, though, each of the incoming players will have to show great dedication to their goals and the highly competitive drive that their predecessors possessed. I think these three can do that, so we’re excited for their arrival.” Barens, an accomplished athlete at Orange Lutheran High School, claimed seven top-10 finishes during the 2012 summer season, which included a win at the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) PING event in Phoenix, Ariz. He added a runner-up result at the 2012 CIF Southern Section Championship at the Riverside Country Club, carding a five-under par 67. Cox fired a two-round total of five-under par to win the 2012 Ashford Manor Club Championship at his home course in Middlesex. A team captain for the Surrey U18 team, Cox also reached the semifinals of the Surrey Men’s Amateur and was the third-place finisher at the English Golf Union South East Boys qualifying tournament. Rushton prepped at Heritage Academy in Hilton Head, S.C. He won the Boys 15-19 championship at the 2012 International Junior Golf Tour (IJGT) Port Royal Golf Club tournament, carding rounds of 73-69142. Rushton registered five top 25s on the 2012 summer circuit, including a runner-up finish at the AJGA/Under Armour Vicky Hurst Championship in Choudrant, La.

Rolfs Family All-Season Varsity Golf 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.
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. A state-of-theart golf simulator (right) was installed during the 2013 season.
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.
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, located in the southern wing of the facility.
Each student-athlete has his or her own locker area in their respective locker room.

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 NCAA Central Regional Championship on May 5-7, 2011. The Warren also was the host site for the 2010 NCAA Men’s Central Regional. The course also will continue to play host to the men’s Fighting Irish Gridiron Golf Classic Tournament and has three times played host to the men’s year end Battle at the Warren. 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.
Warren Golf Course Earns Top-15 Ranking From Golf Digest and Golfweek 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 as well as a September 2013 publication by Golfweek. The magazine and publication 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 on the 2005 Golf Digest list while checking in at 11th in the most recent piece by Golfweek. The ranking from Golf Digest is only one of many 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 • Top-15 Collegiate Golf Course - Golf Digest 2005 & 2010, Golfweek 2010, 2011 & 2012 • Top-10 Collegiate Golf Course - Links Magazine 2012 • 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 • Fifth-best public golf course in Indiana - Golfweek, 2011 • Sixth-best public golf course in Indiana - Golfweek, 2012 • 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

Warren Golf Course 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 a 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.” 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, 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
16
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 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.
UNIVERSITY of NOTRE DAME®
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 MoakePark 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.

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 to the left of 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 are, in fact, 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 Above is a look from the picturesque tee at the 16th hole. Overlooking Juday Creek from the visible in the right side of the picture. 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 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 elevated tee from the longest hole on the course, the 480yard 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 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.

Notre Dame head coach Jim Kubinski has led Notre Dame to 629 head-to-head victories and four BIG EAST Conference Championships in his first nine seasons at the helm of the Irish. Kubinski was twice named the BIG EAST Coach of the Year (2011 and 2012), and his players have garnered a total of two honorable mention All-America, six PING all-Midwest Region and 23 all-conference honors.
Head Coach Jim Kubinski Head Coach Nine Years Springfield College ‘93
One of the nation’s top golf teachers, Jim Kubinski completed his ninth season as head coach of the University of Notre Dame men’s golf team in 2012-13. Having assumed the post on Jan. 28, 2005, Kubinski is just the sixth head coach in the 81-year history of the Irish men’s golf program. He inherited and subsequently added to a storied tradition that includes the 1944 Championship, 19 top-10 NCAA NCAA Championship finishes and 35 NCAA postseason appearances. In his first nine seasons leading the Irish, Kubinski won four BIG EAST Championships (2005, 2006, 2011 & 2012) and added two BIG EAST runner-up finishes (2007 & 2010). He also has mentored Notre Dame to a total of 11 tournament championships, and his players have collectively earned six PING all-Midwest Region honors and 23 all-BIG EAST accolades. Kubinski guided Notre Dame to a 66-49-1 (.571) record in 2012-13, its final campaign in the BIG EAST Conference. As a team, the Irish posted the fourth-best scoring average in program history, carding a 293.95 clip over 24 total rounds. Notre Dame earned a third-place finish in the program’s final appearance at the BIG EAST Championship on the Tom Watson Course at Reunion Resort in Orlando, Fla. Notre Dame carded the lowest score of the tournament during the event’s final round, turning in an eight-under par, 280. Irish players Cory Sciupider and Niall Platt each earned all-BIG EAST honors on the strength of top-five finishes in the tournament’s individual draw. Platt (Macdonald Cup) and Sciupider (C&F Bank Intercollegiate) also broke through for their first collegiate tournament victories during the regular season. In 2012, Kubinski helped guide Max Scodro to both the PING and Golfweek Division I AllAmerica honorable mention teams, marking the first Irish golfer to receive that distinction since 1980. After leading his team to its fourth appearance in seven years at the 2011 NCAA Championship, Kubinski was selected as the BIG EAST Coach of Year for the first time in his head coaching tenure with the Irish. He repeated the
20
honor in 2012, as the Irish pulled away for a 16-shot victory at the BIG EAST Championship (852, -12) to claim a spot in the NCAA Central Regional. 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 nine-year run for the Notre Dame skipper, who piloted the Irish to consecutive BIG EAST Conference titles in 2005 and 2006, and back-toback NCAA regional appearances both years, before accomplishing the same feat again in 2011 and 2012. Kubinski has compiled an overall record of 629-575-21 (.518), winning 60 or more head-to-head decisions in seven of his nine campaigns at Notre Dame. Under Kubinski’s guidance, Notre Dame has registered 42 top-five finishes, including 11 tournament titles, two of which came in suddendeath playoffs. The Irish also have carded the top-eight single-season stroke averages in school history under Kubinski, including a 291.50 in 2010-11, the best mark in program history. In addition, Notre Dame has fired 15 of the top 20 single-round scores in school history, including impressive final-round postseason efforts at the 2012 NCAA Central Regional (278, -6) and the 2006 BIG EAST Championship (school-record 272, -16). Individually, Kubinski has produced impressive results with several Irish players in a short span of time. Platt became just the fifth golfer in program history – joining Mark Baldwin (’06), Cole Isban (’07) and Doug Fortner (’10) – to receive all-BIG EAST accolades in three consecu-
tive seasons when he was tabbed with the honor in 2013. Scodro earned all-conference distinction in each of his four seasons to set the program standard during its 18-year affiliation with the BIG EAST. Isban became the first three-time PING AllMidwest 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 career stroke average (73.76) 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 at the time of his graduating. 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. Fortner also experienced great success under Kubinski’s tutelage. As a senior, Fortner was one of four unanimous selections to the 2010 all-BIG EAST team, and fired a seven-under par 64 in the

opening round of the 2010 FAU Spring Break Championship to tie Baldwin for the lowest topar round in school history. Kubinski has proved adept at restocking the Irish roster with talent upon the graduation of some of the best players in program history. 2012 graduates Scodro, Chris Walker and Tom Usher became the top players for the Irish in 2010-11 and 2011-12, playing as part of the rotation together for nearly all of the two seasons. Scodro highlighted the trio, earning medalist honors at the 2011 BIG EAST Championship (212, -1) and 2012 BIG EAST Championship (210, -6) as well as earning BIG EAST Player of the Year both years, the first time any Irish golfer received the honor. He etched his name in the annals of the Notre Dame program, posting the lowest single-season stroke average (71.25) during the 2011-12 campaign en route to moving into first all-time on the career stroke average charts with his mark of 73.25. Additionally, Scodro tied for the most team-leading efforts in Notre Dame history with 19 while becoming the first All-American under Kubinski’s guidance and first for the program in 32 years. For his stellar season, Scodro also became the first Notre Dame golfer selected to the all-BIG EAST team all four years. Along with Scodro, Walker, Platt and Paul McNamara earned all-BIG EAST honors for the year, marking the first time since ’03 that the Irish have placed four or more players on the team. The quartet played in every round for the Irish on the season. Kubinski was nominated for the 2007 GOLF Magazine Top 100 Teachers List, honoring the nation’s preeminent golf instructors. Previous winners of the prestigious designation include Hank Haney (former teacher for 10-time PGA Tour Player of the Year Tiger Woods), Butch Harmon (swing coach for PGA Tour great and two-time Masters champion Phil Mickelson) and David Leadbetter (legendary coach for such PGA Tour luminaries and major tournament champions as Ernie Els, Nick Faldo and Greg Norman). Kubinski was a three-year golf letterman and two-year team captain at Springfield (Mass.) College before graduating in 1993. A two-time all-Northeast 10 Conference selection in 1991 and 1992, he also received the Springfield College Maroon Club Award for academic and athletic achievement in 1992. His playing experience continued on the North Atlantic Tour where he tied for sixth place at the `95 Boston Open, and he also competed in the Carolinas Section PGA. Born May 4, 1970 in Springfield, Mass., Kubinski and his wife, Sarah, live in Granger, Ind. The couple has two children. Their daughter, Kelly, was born in September of 2007 and enjoys singing the Notre Dame Victory March. They celebrated the birth of their son, James, in May 2010.

A longtime member of the PGA TOUR, Scott Gump completed his first season as the assistant coach for the University of Notre Dame men’s golf program in 2012-13. In his first season on the Irish coaching staff, Gump helped guide Notre Dame to a 66-49-1 (.571) record, which included a third-place finish in the program’s final appearance at the BIG EAST Championship on the Tom Watson Course at Reunion Resort in Orlando, Fla. Notre Dame carded the lowest score of the tournament during the event’s final round, turning in an eight-under par, 280. Irish players Cory Sciupider and Niall Platt each earned all-BIG EAST honors on the strength of top-five finishes in the tournament’s individual draw. As a team, Notre Dame posted the fourthbest scoring average in program history in Gump’s inaugural campaign, carding a 293.95 clip over 24 total rounds. The Irish added four top-five team placements, and Platt (Macdonald Cup) and Sciupider (C&F Bank Intercollegiate) broke through for their first collegiate tournament victories.
Prior to his arrival at Notre Dame, Gump served as a coach and instructor at the Gary Gilchrist Golf Academy from 2009 until June of 2012 in Howey-in-the-Hills, Fla. He was responsible for instructing student-athletes in the fundamentals of the game of golf, management of emotions and goal setting, strategic on-course planning, fitness programs and balancing life responsibilities with golf activities. “He’s someone who stood out from the very beginning of the hiring process,” Irish head coach Jim Kubinski said of Gump at the time of his hire. “In having longtime assistant Steve Colnitis, someone who meant so much to our players over the years, move on to the business world, we needed to find the right fit in the search for a successor. We’re fortunate to have Scott join our Notre Dame golf family and are looking forward to many successful seasons ahead.” A touring professional golfer for over 24 years, Gump earned his PGA TOUR card during the 1991 season after finishing third at the TOUR’s Q School tournament. Following an 18-year stint on both the PGA and Web. com tours, with more than $2.7 million in career earnings, Gump holds lifetime membership status for making more than 150 cuts in 329 career PGA TOUR starts. Gump played in 10 career major championships, including the prestigious Masters Tournament two times. He first competed at the Augusta National Golf Club as an amateur in 1988. Along with 50 career top-25 finishes, Gump was a runner-up three times on the PGA TOUR, placing second at The International in 1991, the Quad City Classic in 1998 and The PLAYERS in 1999. He finished two strokes
behind tournament champion David Duval at the ‘99 PLAYERS, a win that elevated Duval to the ranking of number one player in the world. Gump’s most successful season on the PGA TOUR was in 1999, when he earned $954,732 and finished in the top-10 four times. He also ranked fifth in driving accuracy (78.80%) and 15th in greens in regulation (69.35%). Gump was a three-time champion on the Web.com Tour, winning his first two career tournaments in 1994. He fired a 19-under par, 269 (67-67-68-67) to win the NIKE Monterrey Open, and followed with a victory later that season at the NIKE Greater Greensville Classic. Gump’s $161,035 earned ranked second on the 1994 Web.com Tour Money List. More than 10 years after his last victory at the Greater Greensville Classic, Gump broke through once more on the Web.com Tour by claiming the Albertsons Boise Open in September of 2004. An All-American at Brevard Community College in 1984-85, Gump was a member of the 1985 NJCAA National Championship team under Hall of Fame coach Floyd Horgen. He then transferred to the University of Miami, where he earned honorable mention All-America honors for the Hurricanes. At one time, Gump was the number sixranked amateur in the United States. He reached the semifinals of the 1987 U.S. Amateur, earning medalist honors and an invitation to the 1988 Masters Tournament A native of Merritt Island, Fla., Gump graduated from the University of Miami with a Bachelor’s Degree in business administration in 1987. He and his wife, Christine, are the parents of a daughter, Sarah.

Season In Review
Paul McNamara ended his Notre Dame career with the fifth-best stroke average in program history, posting a cumulative average of 74.42 in 87 competitive rounds. McNamara added a pair of top-five and five top-10 finishes in 33 starts in the Irish lineup.
Season Notebook Par For The Course Competing at the BIG EAST Conference Championship for the final time in 2013, Notre Dame finished in third place with an evenpar score of 864 on the Watson Course at Reunion Resort. Three Irish players recorded scores under par during the final round, the most for the Irish in a single round during the three-day event. Freshman Cory Sciupider placed third individually at 211 (72-72-67) and was awarded all-BIG EAST honors for his tournament play. His 67 (-5) score in the final round was Sciupider’s best score in relation to par in his collegiate career. Sciupider birdied seven holes in his final 18, including all four of the course’s par-5 holes, and was second in total birdies (15) amongst all 60 tournament competitors. Junior Niall Platt finished the tournament in fifth with a two-under par 214 (71-74-69). Platt was awarded all-BIG EAST honors for the third time of his career. Senior Paul McNamara tied freshman Zach Toste for 25th place. Notre Dame finished two strokes away from second place St. John’s, and secured their top-three standing with two fewer strokes than Louisville. South Florida claimed the team title while Cincinnati’s David Tepe was the tournament medalist by one stroke. “Scoops” Steps Up In the second tournament of the spring season, Cory Sciupider battled the elements at Kingsmill Resort in Williamsburg, Va. The C&F Bank Intercollegiate was shortened to 18 holes due to a severe snowstorm that arrived Sunday night and completely suspended play on Monday. “Scoops” as his teammates call him, tied for first with Eastern Michigan’s Casey Olsen, marking a first-round score of 67 (-3) and besting 160 other players.

Just how bad were the weather conditions at tee time Sunday? 38 degrees, with a wind chill of about 30, and a snowstorm that began shortly after play concluded. “The weather was definitely a factor,” head coach Jim Kubinski said. “Posting a 67 in tough conditions, with no bogeys, is a big accomplishment. “We’ve played in worse over the years, but it was a challenge this weekend for players to keep some feeling in their hands, which is vital for all shots.” Shaping Up For ACC Play Notre Dame traveled into the heart of Atlantic Coast Conference country, Chapel Hill, N.C., very early in the 2012-13 campaign. The Tar Heel Intercollegiate, which took place Sept. 15-16, served as the first tournament of the season for the Irish. Notre Dame walked away from the opening tournament of the fall season battle tested against the class of the ACC, including Duke, North Carolina and North Carolina State. During the spring portion of the season, Notre Dame’s lineup finished in 15th place at the Irish Creek Collegiate in Kannapolis, N.C. in another ACC-heavy field.

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 All-American (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.
