Bucknell Golf

Academics • Family • Team

Each year I welcome numerous potential Bison student-athletes and their families into my office at the Bucknell Golf Club. We discuss the many wonderful opportunities that Bucknell offers and the high expectations that the University maintains for its student-athletes, both in the classroom and on the golf course. These conversations often lead to some common questions, so I thought I would take a moment to clarify some frequently asked questions related to the Bucknell golf program. • Financial Aid Bucknell is a Division I, non-scholarship program. Need-based financial assistance is available to our team members through the Bucknell Office of Financial Aid. The athletic department is not involved in this process. Families are required to apply for financial assistance each year. • Program Priorities It is very important that potential candidates understand our program’s priority list. We stress that each team member understands that academics and his family come first and second. Directly behind comes TEAM GOLF! When another item enters the priority list ahead of TEAM GOLF, the player can no longer provide the competitive challenge to our other players to make them better. We believe that we are only as good as our weakest player. In this case it is the 10th player on our roster. We expect this player to be as competitive as the other nine. It will require commitment, dedication, good decision-making, great time management and sacrificing many social opportunities that the general student body has time to do. The success that our program has achieved in the past 10 years is directly attributable to the gentlemen who have earned spots on our 10-player roster representing the Bison athletics program in a positive manner. We continuously have seven or more team members named to the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll each year. We have had at least one, and in most years two players, in the top 10 at the Patriot League Championship. Most importantly, all of our recruits have graduated on time.

• Golf Ability Finally, allow me to focus on the ability of the player that we are looking for in order to compete at a championship level in Division I golf. It is very important that our players have quality competitive experience. It is nice to read in resumes that a player competes on a successful high school team and has won a junior club championship. But these are only starting points needed for a player to prepare to compete at the Division I level. We are looking for “immediate impact” players. We do not want young players coming into the program and quickly realizing they are not competitive with their teammates. We want them to get in the mix immediately with our returning players. We do not “redshirt” freshmen or want freshmen to stay in the clubhouse watching the veterans play all the collegiate events. I am often asked what the handicap range is for our players and recruits. I really do not focus on handicaps. Rather, I focus most of my attention on the competitive tournament experience players have and the scores that they post in these stroke-play events. I look to see if their resumes have tournament results from courses 50 or more miles from their hometown. I look to see how strong the field was at the tournament and where the player finished in that competitive field. I also expect the potential recruit to play his home course consistently under 75 and to break par on his home course frequently. These are results that student-athletes must be capable of if they are going to be competitive on a quality Division I program. Hopefully, this information gives you some insight into the expectations of our program. I am very proud of all the individuals that have contributed to making BISON GOLF an important part of their collegiate life. It is up to our present players and future recruits to continue the desire for excellence, camaraderie and strong competitive spirit that are the cornerstones of our program. GO BISON!

• Coming to Campus I encourage all prospective student-athletes to visit campus. It is important that these potential recruits see the academic and athletic facilities that Bucknell has to offer. Lewisburg and Bucknell provide a unique setting for learning and playing golf, and we are looking for individuals interested first and foremost in a great education, followed closely by an outstanding opportunity to compete in Division I athletics. • Golf Facilities Yes, at Bucknell we have our own 18-hole championship golf course, the Bucknell Golf Club, and brand new in 2011 is a beautiful golf instructional center, which features both indoor and outdoor practice areas, a team locker room and meeting/study space. Both facilities are located within walking distance or a short drive from the center of campus. Bison golfers have daily access to the course and its facilities.

What it means to

17 PRESIDENTS’ CUPS IN 21 YEARS • 2006, 2007, 2009 PATRIOT LEAGUE CHAMPS

be a bison

“... the pursuit of athletics in college need not interfere with a fellow’s studies, and if you give a boy a well developed body his brain will get the benefit of it.” — Christy Mathewson, in his book Won in the Ninth, written in 1910

The term “student-athlete” signifies something extraordinary on the campus of Bucknell University. Being a Bison means that you have the rare blend of physical skills along with the drive and passion needed to succeed at the highest level of collegiate athletics. Being a Bison also means that you are a scholar first and foremost. You believe that values associated with Division I athletics, such as time management, leadership, teamwork and grace under pressure, contribute to a well-rounded college experience. At Bucknell, our students, faculty and staff pride themselves as national leaders in upholding the scholar-athlete ideal that balances a challenging academic program with the demands of successful Division I athletics. Being a Bison means that you have pledged to be a student-athlete in the purest sense. In doing so, you will be rewarded for a lifetime.

Will Bachman was one of six Bison named to the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll in the spring of 2011.

2011-12 MEN’S GOLF ROSTER

Jim Cotner, for nearly 30 years a teacher, coach and administrator in the Lewisburg Area School District, is now in his 11th year as head men’s golf coach at Bucknell. Cotner has rebuilt the Bison golf program into one of the best in the East, leading the squad to 10 tournament titles in the last five years, including the 2006, 2007 and 2009 Patriot League championships. Cotner was named the Patriot League Coach of the Year in three straight seasons (2005-07) and again in 2009 after guiding the Bison through one of the finest stretches in program history. The team was runner-up at the 2005 Patriot League Championship before breaking through with a first-ever PL title in 2006. A year later the Bison defended their crown, capturing the title with a narrow three-shot victory over Navy. In 2009, the Bison came from behind to catch Navy and host Army to win a third title in four years. The league crowns automatically qualified the Bison for the NCAA Regionals, where they played at the famed Omni Tucson National Golf Resort & Spa in 2006, at Arizona State’s Karsten Course in 2007, and at The Club at Olde Stone in Kentucky in 2009. “We have been fortunate to get student-athletes who want to come to Bucknell for the top-notch education, but who are also very passionate about golf,” said Cotner. “The sport means a lot to them, and they have every opportunity to get better. The facilities here are first-class, with our own Bucknell Golf Club and a great teaching pro in Brian Kelly.” A 2000 inductee into the West Branch Chapter of the Pennsylvania Athletic Hall of Fame, Cotner in 2001 retired from Lewisburg Area High School, where he served as the school’s director of athletics for 11 years. Since moving to the district in September 1972, Cotner coached the Dragons’ boys’ varsity tennis team for four years (1972-75), the boys’ varsity golf team for five seasons (198286), the boys’ junior varsity basketball squad for two years (1972-74) and the boys’ varsity basketball team for 17 years (1974-90). A 1972 graduate of East Stroudsburg University, Cotner is active in the local golf scene, as well. For 12 years he was president of the North Central Pennsylvania Golf Association, and he is a 12-year USGA Committee Member for Regional Golf Associations. Cotner is only the fifth head coach in the 70-plus-year history of the Bucknell men’s golf program.

Instructional Golf Center The Bucknell campus community, and in particular the Bison varsity golf programs, now has a wonderful new addition in the form of a brand new Instructional Golf Center. Ground was broken on the facility in September 2010, the indoor space was completed in the spring of 2011, and by the summer of 2011 the facility was fully functional, including the spacious new outdoor practice range and putting and short game areas. The Instructional Golf Center is a multi-purpose, indoor/ outdoor facility that is located adjacent to the existing practice range, just across Smoketown Road from the 11th hole of the Bucknell Golf Club. The 5,600 square-foot building houses coaches’ offices and locker rooms for the Bison men’s and women’s teams, a video-equipped swing diagnostic area, indoor putting green and hitting bays, and a conference room. Next to the building is a new 16,000-square-foot practice tee, a 10,000-square-foot, two-tiered putting green and a 5,700-square-foot short-game practice green with bunkers. The Bison varsity golf teams have full access to the facility, while Bucknell Golf Club members will have fee-for-use access outside the varsity playing seasons. The project was completely supported by donors. “This wonderful new learning center is going to significantly enhance our ability to practice and prepare, both as a team and individually,” said Bucknell men’s golf coach Jim Cotner. “Today’s young players want to be able to work on their games all year round, and an indoor facility is essential to be able to attract top players to the Northeast. I also think the facility is going to play a big role in enhancing our team unity. It is going to provide us with a central location where our players can get together throughout the year.” “This project has been a long time in the making, and it is a dream come true,” said Bucknell women’s golf coach Kevin Jamieson. “On behalf of the Bison golf programs, we thank every player, parent and friend that has paved the way for this project to become a reality. This facility will allow us to compete for some of the best players in the country that are looking for not only one of the best academic institutions, but one that can also offer wonderful practice facilities along with one of the nation’s best collegiate golf courses.”

The Bucknell varsity golf team has at its disposal one of the finest on-campus golf courses in the Northeast, the Bucknell Golf Club. The 18-hole course is complemented by a full-service restaurant and well-stocked pro shop, managed by veteran PGA Class A Professional Brian Kelly. The BGC also features a large practice range with both grass and artificial stalls, two large practice greens and additional short-game areas, including a practice bunker. The original nine holes were built in 1930 and designed by renowned course architect Emil Loeffler, who was the greens superintendent and architect of the famed Oakmont Country Club near Pittsburgh. Loeffler’s original nine was altered in 1947, and the course was expanded to 18 holes in 1964. Course architect Edward Ault of Silver Springs, Md., was hired to supervise the expansion. The course plays to a par 70 and is measured at 6,400 yards from the back of the championship tees. Despite the relative lack of length compared to many modern golf courses, the Bucknell layout presents a stern challenge to golfers of all abilities, playing to a rating of 70.0 and slope of 128 from the blue (back) tees. The club has hosted numerous U.S. Open local qualifiers and annually hosts the North Central Pennsylvania Golf Association’s Men’s and Women’s Amateur Championship. It is also in the regular rotation to host the Patriot League Championship, and has done so in 1994, 2000, 2005 and 2007. The BGC’s historic clubhouse

BUCKNELL MEN’S GOLF

Hall of Fame The Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame was established in 1979 to honor the very best in the history of Bison Athletics. There are now 223 outstanding student-athletes, administrators, coaches and friends of Bucknell whose contributions to Bucknell Athletics are forever preserved in the Hall of Fame, including the five men listed below who were associated with the golf program.

HAROLD EVANS

CHICK WAGNER

No man played a larger role in solidifying Bucknell’s golf program than Harold Evans, who served the university for more than 70 years until his passing in 2002. Evans came to Bucknell as caddie master in 1931 and took over as head professional Harold Evans in 1932. After organizing the school’s club golf team, he became the Bison’s first intercollegiate golf coach in 1939. He won a schoolrecord 144 dual matches during his nearly quartercentury tenure as head coach and was inducted into the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame in 1986. Evans led the Bison to five Middle Atlantic Conference championships from 1956-61, and helped two of those teams to the NCAA Tournament. The beauty of the Bucknell Golf Club is a tribute to Evans and his wife, Mary Louise, who planted countless trees and flowers and shaped the appearance of the course through the years, including the expansion from 9 to 18 holes in 1964.

Chick Wagner, a 1984 Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame Inductee, played in the 1975 and 1976 NCAA Golf Championships and was winner of the 1975 ECAC Fall Championship. Co-captain of the 1975 and 1976 Bucknell teams, Wagner helped lead the Bison to the Chick Wagner 1973 Middle Atlantic Conference championship and to second place in the 1974 Eastern Championship. He was on the Bucknell team that traveled to Scotland in 1973 for the St. Andrews International Intercollegiate Championship. A member of teams that had a combined 35-18 record in dual matches, Wagner set a school and Bucknell Golf Club competitive course record with a round of 66 in 1975, and he set Bucknell scoring records with a 73.8 season average (1975) and 76.4 career average. The recipient of the Edward W. Pangburn Award, he finished in the top 10 in the conference championship tournament three times and was twice in the top 10 in the Eastern Championship. He was the 1983 champion of Oakmont Country Club.

TOMMY THOMPSON

BRAD TUFTS

A Bucknellian in the truest sense of the award, Tommy Thompson spent 44 years as either a player, assistant coach or head coach at Bucknell. A three-year starter in baseball and basketball and captain of both teams, Thompson served Tommy Thompson in the U.S. Army, pitched in the Detroit Tigers system and coached baseball, basketball, golf and tennis teams at Bucknell until retiring in 2001. He amassed more than 1,000 victories as a Bison player and coach. He was team captain of the basketball team and led the team in scoring as a senior at 16.3 points per game. Also a star on the baseball diamond, Thompson was named the outstanding athlete in the Class of 1960. From 1967-81 he was head baseball coach, and he helped author one of the greatest turnarounds in Bucknell history in any sport, taking the Bison nine from an 0-15 record in 1968 to a 15-4 mark and a Middle Atlantic Conference title in 1969. He took over as head golf coach in 1981 and directed the Bison to an impressive 113-27 dualmatch record, to go along with seven tournament titles. He was named Patriot League Coach of the Year in 2000. Thompson was inducted into the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame in 1986.

A 2000 Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame inductee, Brad Tufts served the Bucknell athletic department for over 30 years as either coach or administrator. He was the men’s golf coach from 1967-75 and led Brad Tufts his teams to Middle Atlantic Conference championships in 1967 and 1973. His men’s teams posted an impressive 80-38 dual-match record. Tufts became the firstever coach of the Bucknell women’s golf program in 1998 and retired from coaching, and Bucknell, following the 2000 spring season. He served in various administrative roles, including sports information director, associate director of public relations, director of information services, assistant and associate director of athletics and interim director of athletics. Tufts received the Lester Jordan Award from the College Sports Information Directors of America in 1998. He is also the 1989 recipient of ECAC-SIDA’s Irving T. Marsh Award and the 2001 recipient of ECAC-SIDA’s Bob Kenworthy Good Person Award.

BOB ETZWEILER

Bob Etzweiler

Bob Etzweiler is still remembered as one of Bucknell’s top golfers, and he occupied the No. 1 or 2 position on Bison squads that captured three straight Middle Atlantic Conference championships. Etzweiler won the MAC individual title in 1959, tied for second in 1960 and placed

fifth in 1961. He qualified for the NCAA Championship during his senior campaign and became one of only five eastern players to qualify for the match-play field of 64. The York, Pa., native was also selected to play in the East-West Match at that tournament. In an era when virtually all of the competition was in match-play format, Etzweiler had a career dualmatch record of 23-10-1 and was 18-3-1 against MAC opponents. He helped lead Bucknell to a 25-9 record during his career, including a school-record 10-2 record in 1961. Etzweiler, who in 2003 became just the second golfer to be inducted into the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame, later won numerous amateur titles in the York area.

CHARLIE WADDELL He will not be eligible for the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame until 2017, but Charlie Waddell is a good bet to one day join these elite ranks. A 2007 graduate, Waddell is arguably the finest Charlie Waddell golfer in Bucknell annals. He won Patriot League championships in 2005 and 2006, making him the only player in league history to win the league title twice. He also finished sixth in 2004 and third in 2007, giving him four All-PL plaques. Waddell won four career tournaments and helped Bucknell to back-to-back Patriot League team championships in 2006 and 2007, leading to NCAA Regional berths both years. Waddell, who graduated as the school record-holder for season (73.4) and career (74.9) scoring average, was also an outstanding student at Bucknell. He was an ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District selection and was a nominee for the Byron Nelson Award, presented to the top golfer in the nation who also demonstrates good sportsmanship and citizenship.
