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

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.

-- Football at 75 ranked ninth, behind Northwestern (92), Stanford and Rice (89), Boston College (86), Duke (81), TCU (80), Wake Forest (77) and Fresno State (76). -- Women’s swimming at 93 tied for ninth (with Michigan State and Virginia Tech) behind Buffalo, Fresno State, Michigan, Missouri and Stanford (at 100), North Carolina (96) and Rice and Georgia Tech (both at 95).
Notre Dame Athletics Posts Strong NCAA APR Numbers Eleven University of Notre Dame athletic teams earned perfect 1,000 scores -- more perfect scores than all but one other NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision school -- in the annual set of Academic Progress Rate statistics issued in May of 2014 by the NCAA. All 26 Irish athletics programs again exceeded the NCAA’s APR minimum standards. Notre Dame’s number of perfect scores of 1,000 has ranked either first or second among all FBS programs for nine straight years. Leaders in the 2014 data are Stanford (with 12), Notre Dame (11), Northwestern (10), Minnesota (nine), Boston College and Duke (eight each), Penn State (seven), and Ohio State and Vanderbilt (six each). Notre Dame led the FBS schools in 1,000 scores in 2013 and 2012 (both with 12), in 2009 (with nine), in 2008 (with eight, tied with Duke) and in 2006 (with 14, tied with Boston College). Notre Dame finished second in number of 1,000 scores in 2011, 2010 and 2007. The 2014 report released by the NCAA features a four-year compilation of APR data from the 2009-10, 2010-11, 2011-12 and 2012-13 academic years. The APR uses a series of formulas related to student-athlete retention and eligibility to measure the academic performances of all participants who receive grants-in-aid on every team at every NCAA Division I college and university. Seven Notre Dame’s men’s teams -- cross country, fencing, golf, lacrosse, tennis, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field -- registered perfect 1,000 scores. Four Irish women’s teams -- cross country, softball, swimming and diving, volleyball -- also earned perfect scores. Eleven other Notre Dame teams produced scores of 991 or better: women’s lacrosse (998), men’s swimming and diving (997), women’s indoor track and field (997), women’s outdoor track and field (997), women’s rowing (996), men’s basketball (995), men’s soccer (994), baseball (992), women’s tennis (991), women’s fencing (991) and men’s ice hockey (991).
Over nine years worth of APR numbers, Irish teams in men’s cross country, men’s golf, men’s indoor track and field and men’s outdoor track and field have earned 1,000 scores every year. Women’s tennis has earned six 1,000 scores-while men’s fencing, men’s tennis, softball, women’s cross country and women’s soccer have earned five each. Over those same nine years, Notre Dame has had 14 sports that have achieved scores of 990 or higher every year: men’s cross country, men’s fencing, men’s golf, hockey, men’s lacrosse, men’s swimming and diving, men’s indoor track and field, men’s outdoor track and field, softball, women’s lacrosse, rowing, women’s swimming and diving, women’s tennis and volleyball. The release follows the announcement earlier in 2014 by the NCAA of teams that posted multi-year APR scores in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports. The public recognition awards are part of the broad Division I academic reform effort. Notre Dame had 15 of its programs honored in May for the multi-year achievement (most among all FBS schools)--baseball, men’s basketball, men’s cross country, men’s fencing, men’s golf, men’s lacrosse, men’s soccer, men’s tennis, men’s indoor track and field, men’s outdoor track and field, women’s cross country, women’s golf, softball, women’s swimming and diving, and volleyball. Notre Dame also had 15 programs honored with public recognition awards in 2013 (tied for first with Duke), 17 in both 2012 and 2011 (both years number one in FBS), 14 in both 2010 and 2009 (ranking first that year) -- and 11 in both 2008 and 2007. For the fourth straight year Notre Dame in 2014 led the way in terms of FBS schools in number of programs honored.
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 institution and academic eligibility in its calculation and provides a clear picture of the academic culture in each sport.
Irish Golf Succeeds In The Classroom A total of 10 Notre Dame players received BIG EAST Academic All-Star recognition for the 2012-13 academic year, the final season Notre Dame competed in the conference. Andrew Carreon, Patrick Grahek, Edward Hjerpe, Andrew Lane, David Lowe, Paul McNamara, Niall Platt, Zach Toste, Peyton Vitter and Tyler Wingo were Irish men’s golf representatives on the conference’s academic honor roll. Platt and Lane were both named 2013 Division I Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholars, as was announced by the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA). It was the first time two Irish players have been selected as All-America Scholars in the same season. To be eligible for the award, an individual must be a junior or senior academically, compete in at least three full years at the collegiate level, participate in 50-percent of his team’s official competitive rounds or the NCAA Championship, maintain a stroke-average of 76.0 or below (Division I) and carry a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.2. Each player is also expected to have a high moral character and be in good standing with his respective college or university. A total of 152 players across Division I men’s golf received 2013 All-America Scholar status.

GEORGE THOMAS TRIBUTE
Fighting Irish
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.

ACC Voyage Rolls Into Year Two For The Irish Five monogram winners back in the fold for Notre Dame in 2014-15
The first season of competition in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) for the University of Notre Dame men’s golf team was a unique trial run of sorts in 2013-14. After all, the Irish joined their new league after enjoying a great deal of success during the program’s 18 seasons of membership in the BIG EAST Conference, which included winning five conference championships and finishing in the top four at the conference tournament every season from 2002-13. Transitioning to the competitive ACC, a conference where six of the 12 teams in the 2014 conference championship field entered the tournament ranked in the national top 50, represented the type of high-level competition in the league that Notre Dame will become accustomed to competing against. A one-under-par team score of 287 powered Notre Dame to a seventh place finish at eightover-par 872 (294-287-291) during its first ACC Championship start on April 25-27 at the Old North State Club in New London, N.C. Georgia Tech, the tournament champion, won the event by six strokes with a score of 839 (288-278-273, -25). It was strong performances during the second half of the season that set the stage for Notre Dame’s debut at the ACC tournament, punctuated by a team victory at the Oak Hill Intercollegiate, which was held on April 21-22 at the historic Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, N.Y. The Irish tamed the major championship layout during the twoday event, which featured challenging weather conditions throughout the final round, to win by four strokes at 866 (287-287-292) over Nebraska (870). Senior Niall Platt claimed individual medalist honors for the second time in his collegiate career, spinning a four-under-par 66 during the second round on his way to a threeshot victory (71-66-72-209, -1). The Oak Hill triumph was one of many highlights for Platt during his senior campaign, which saw the Santa Barbara, Calif. native become the program’s all-time leading scorer with a final 73.17 stroke average over 122 career rounds. Platt was named to the all-ACC team, the first Irish golfer to earn all-conference accolades from the new league, and was tabbed to the Division I PING all-Midwest Region team by the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) after leading Notre Dame with a 72.25 stroke average, four top five and five top 10 finishes in 2013-14. Platt closed his career as just the second Notre Dame men’s golfer to ever qualify individually for the NCAA Championship when he tied for 34th place (80-77-73-230) at the NCAA Sugar Grove
10
Regional at Rich Harvest Farms in Sugar Grove, Ill. in May. Platt joined Josh Sandman as Irish NCAA individual entrants, with Sandman tying for 65th place at the 2008 NCAA Central Regional in Columbus, Ohio. A total of five monogram winners are expected to return to the Notre Dame lineup in 2014-15, along with four other experienced players and a two-man freshman class of 2018, for Jim Kubinski as he enters his 11th season as the program’s head coach. Here is a look ahead to the probable Irish roster: SENIORS A four-player senior class is set to lead Notre Dame into its second ACC campaign when the Irish tee off for the 2014-15 season. Patrick Grahek, David Lowe, Peyton Vitter and Tyler Wingo bring experience, and a great deal of potential, to the course for their final collegiate seasons. Grahek was a breakout performer for Notre Dame last season as a junior, appearing in a career-high nine tournaments, including six starts. His 74.00 stroke average was the third-best total on the Irish roster, as were his three top 25 finishes. The Alpharetta, Ga. native tied for seventh place during the Talis Park Challenge in Naples, Fla. (7472-74-220) to post a career-best tournament result, later equaling the feat one month later at Notre Dame’s own Oak Hill Intercollegiate (73-7474-221). Grahek made his biggest mark during the inaugural Irish run at the ACC Championship in April, carding a final round five-under-par 67 to lead all Notre Dame players with a share of ninth place (75-71-67-213, -3). Lowe appeared in one tournament during his junior season, tying for 74th place as an unattached competitor in the Fighting Irish Gridiron Golf Classic at the Warren Golf Course. Lowe made three appearances in 2012-13 as a sophomore after transferring from Arizona State, earning a start in the season opening Tar Heel Intercollegiate in Chapel Hill, N.C. The Scottsdale, Ariz. native logged a Notre Dame career-high finish at that season’s Earl Yestingsmeier Invitational, tying for 28th place. Vitter also competed in the 2013 Fighting Irish Gridiron Golf Classic as an individual entrant, tying for 51st place at 227 (76-74-77). In his three seasons at Notre Dame, Vitter has posted a career 76.82 scoring average, appearing in a career-high five tournaments in 2012-13. The native of New Orleans, La. enjoyed his best career finish, a tie for 13th place, at the 2012 Earl Yestingsmeier Invitational (77-70-73-210).

Senior Patrick Grahek
Wingo opened the fall season fresh off playing in the 2013 United States Amateur Championship last summer, becoming the 10th Notre Dame men’s golfer to start in the U.S. Amateur since 2005. Wingo saw action in seven tournaments for the Irish as a junior, including six starts, while posting a 75.86 stroke average and three top 25 finishes. The Fairfax, Va. native recorded his best tournament result of the year, closing with a final round 73 to tie for 15th place at the Oak Hill Intercollegiate (79-75-73-227). JUNIORS The two-man tandem of Cory Sciupider and Zach Toste make up Notre Dame’s junior class, and bring big-time tournament experience to the table after only two years of playing collegiate golf. Both players closed their freshmen seasons with top 25 results at the 2013 BIG EAST Championship, becoming the first Irish rookie duo to accomplish that feat in 10 years, to set the stage for 2013-14. Sciupider, an all-BIG EAST selection as a freshman, took part in nine of Notre Dame’s 11 tournaments last season, including eight in the team’s starting lineup. He posted a 75.93 stroke

average and two top 25 finishes, but it was one single round performance that had the most profound impact on his season. The Etowah, N.C. native established a course record at the Members Club at Four Streams in Beallsville, Md. during the final round of the Georgetown Intercollegiate in October, carding a final round five-under 66 to claim a share of 23rd place overall (79-78-66-223). Sciupider later tied for 15th place during Notre Dame’s Oak Hill Intercollegiate (78-76-73), his best finish of the 2013-14 season. Toste competed individually in the 2013 Fighting Irish Gridiron Golf Classic, closing with a final round two-over-par 73 to tie for 69th place in the tournament field. His tie for 25th place and third round score of one-under-par 71 at the 2013 BIG EAST Championship, his only Irish start to date, are both career-bests for the southpaw from Pembroke Pines, Fla. SOPHOMORES Notre Dame’s three-member sophomore class embarks collectively on its second season of collegiate golf in 2014-15, after each player served a crucial role in the Irish lineup as freshmen. As a class, the trio of Blake Barens, Liam Cox and Matt Rushton were the most experienced, in terms of total rounds played, of any Notre Dame academic class last season. Barens earned the start in his first career collegiate tournament last September at the Minnesota Gopher Invitational, one of five starts he made during the year. The Villa Park, Calif. native logged his best finish of his debut season, a tie for 34th place, at the Georgetown Intercollegiate (73-76-77-226). Cox also made his debut appearance at the Gopher Invitational, the first of six starts during his rookie campaign. Cox recorded a 76.11 stroke average over his 18 total rounds played, with a low round of one-under-par 70 coming in the second round of April’s Irish Creek Collegiate. A native of Staines, Middlesex, U.K., and one of two international players in the Notre Dame class of
2017, Cox tied for 26th place at the team’s Oak Hill Intercollegiate for his top finish of the year. Rushton burst onto the scene during his rookie outing in the Irish starting five, firing a four-underpar 67 in his very first collegiate round on the way to a share of sixth place at the Gopher Invitational (67-73-70-210) in September. Rushton ultimately made 10 starts for Notre Dame in 2013-14, ranking fourth on the roster with a 74.70 stroke average to go along with four top 25 placements. The Cape Town, South Africa native claimed his second career top 10 finish after tying for ninth place in Notre Dame’s final regular season start at the Oak Hill Intercollegiate (74-71-77-222). FRESHMEN A pair of freshmen will join the fray for Notre Dame entering year two in the ACC, with Thomas Steve (Upper St. Clair, Pa./Upper St. Clair) and Jens Verhey (Reno, Nev./Bishop Manogue Catholic) coming aboard the Irish roster in 2014-15. “Our 2014 class is one of high achievement both in the classroom and on the golf course,” Kubinski said when both players signed their National Letters of Intent in November. “The work ethic and time management skills they’ve exhibited to date make each player a strong candidate for success here at Notre Dame.” Steve, a team captain at Upper St. Clair High School, was the 2013 WPIAL Section 7 Individual champion following a final round score of threeunder-par 68, adding a third place finish at the WPIAL Individual Championship with a two-under effort of 68. He added medalist honors with an even par round of 70 to lead Upper St. Clair to its first-ever team state championship in 2013 after securing runner-up honors at the 2011 state tournament. Steve has also made an impact on the summer junior circuit, winning the 2013 AJGA Junior Preseason tournament (71-72-143) to go along with three runner-up finishes last summer. A final round score of 67 powered Steve to the TriState Jr. PGA Championship in 2011.
Verhey won three team state championships to close out his high school career, claiming Nevada 4A titles at Bishop Manogue Catholic High School (2013-14) and a 2A championship at Sage Ridge School in 2011. He was a Division I 4A all-region first team selection at Bishop Manogue in 2013, and was an all-state selection and team most valuable player at Sage Ridge in 2011. Accomplished on the junior tour circuit, Verhey took home medalist honors at the 2013 AJGA PING Phoenix tournament (69-66-70-205), and also has a win at the 2012 North Nevada Junior World Qualifier on his resume.

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.

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 mustplay 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 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, 2013 • 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 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.

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.

Coaching Staff
Notre Dame head coach Jim Kubinski has led Notre Dame to 695 match victories and four conference championships in 10 seasons leading the Irish men’s golf program, including the team’s inaugural season in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) in 2013-14. Kubinski, a two-time BIG EAST Conference Coach of the Year (2011 and 2012), has mentored players who have garnered a total of two honorable mention All-America, seven PING all-Midwest Region and 24 all-conference honors at Notre Dame since 2005.
HEAD COACH JIM KUBINSKI Head Coach 10 Seasons Springfield College ‘93
One of the nation’s top golf teachers, Jim Kubinski completed his 10th season as head coach of the University of Notre Dame men’s golf team in 2013-14. Having assumed the post on Jan. 28, 2005, Kubinski is just the sixth head coach in the 82-year history of the Irish men’s golf program. He inherited and subsequently added to a storied tradition that includes the 1944 NCAA Championship, 19 top-10 NCAA Championship finishes and 37 NCAA postseason appearances. In his first 10 seasons leading the Irish, Kubinski won four BIG EAST Championships (2005, 2006, 2011 & 2012), added two BIG EAST runner-up finishes (2007 & 2010), and led the Irish through their inaugural season in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) in 2013-14. He also has mentored Notre Dame to a total of 12 tournament championships, and his players have collectively earned seven PING all-Midwest Region honors and 24 all-conference accolades. During the team’s first ACC season, Notre Dame posted a head-to-head record of 66-63-2 (.508) in 2013-14, logging a 295.06 stroke average over 33 team rounds. Highlighting the campaign was the first Irish team tournament victory since the 2012 BIG EAST Championship, as Notre Dame bested six other squads to win its very own Oak Hill Intercollegiate at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, N.Y. The 2013-14 season was also the final collegiate year in the career of Niall Platt, who pieced together another solid campaign to close his Notre Dame tenure. Platt became the first Notre Dame golfer, male or female, to be named to the all-ACC team during the program’s first year as a conference member, while also becoming just the fourth different player in program history to earn Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) Division I PING all-Midwest Region recognition. Platt also capped his Irish resume as the program scoring leader with a final 73.17 stroke average over 122 career rounds (44 events), and won his second individual tournament title after posting a one-under-par 209 on the famed Oak Hill Country Club layout to claim medalist honors at the 2014 Oak Hill Intercollegiate. 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 Platt and Cory Sciupider each earned all-BIG EAST honors on the strength of top-five finishes in the tournament’s individual draw.

Fighting Irish 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 All-America 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 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 UNC-Wilmington. 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-to-back 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 matches in seven of his nine campaigns at Notre Dame. Under Kubinski’s guidance, Notre Dame has registered 45 top-five finishes, including 12 tournament titles, two of which came in sudden-death 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 consecutive 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.

HEAD COACH
Fighting Irish 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 sevenunder 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. 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. Scodro 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 at the time on the all-time 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. 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 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.

ASSISTANT COACH SCOTT GUMP Assistant Coach Two Seasons Miami (Fla.) ‘87
Longtime PGA TOUR veteran Scott Gump completed his second season as the assistant coach for the University of Notre Dame men’s golf program in 2013-14. Along with head coach Jim Kubinski, Gump helped oversee Notre Dame’s transition into the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) in 2013-14. The Irish posted a head-to-head record of 66-63-2 (.508) during their first ACC season, logging a 295.06 stroke average over 33 team rounds. Highlighting the campaign was the first Irish team tournament victory since the 2012 BIG EAST Championship, as Notre Dame bested six other squads to win its very own Oak Hill Intercollegiate at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, N.Y. Over his first two seasons on the Irish coaching staff Gump mentored Niall Platt, who closed his Notre Dame tenure as one of the best players in program history. Platt became the first Notre Dame golfer, male or female, to be named to the all-ACC team during the program’s first year as a conference member in 2013-14, while also becoming just the fourth different player in program history to earn Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) Division I PING all-Midwest Region recognition. Platt completed his career as the program scoring leader with

Fighting Irish a final 73.17 stroke average over 122 career rounds (44 events), and won his second individual tournament title after posting a one-under-par 209 to claim medalist honors at the 2014 Oak Hill Intercollegiate. 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 fourth-best 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. 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.

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 six-ranked 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.

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.
