2009-10 Season Preview Accountability, eagerness to learn and a great enthusiasm defines the new Cal golf
T
he California Women’s Golf team brings a streak of ten-straight trips to the NCAA Regionals into the season. The goal for the 2009-10 team, however, goes one step beyond bid number 11. “This team believes we can contend for a Pac-10 and a National Championship, and we intend to do it,” head coach Nancy McDaniel emphatically states. The 2009-10 team is rebounding from the loss of a pair of seniors, Allison Goodman and Shannon Yocum, but the Bears return three members of their usual five-person lineup from last season. Anchored by All-American Pia Halbig, Cal also has Diane Kwon and Roseanne Niven back on the course this season. The threesome will be joined by two new names on the lineup card in the fall, a pair of transfer students in Joanne Lee and Emily Childs. In the spring, Cal adds another transfer student, sophomore Daniela Holmqvist. The rest of the Bears team includes talented freshmen Joi Pentin and Jacqueline Williams, adding depth and energy to the team. “The main difference between this year’s team and last year’s team is that we are pretty young,” explains McDaniel. “The team also has a newness about it, a freshness of attitude. It’s a real learning attitude. ‘Hey, we want to get better and how do we do it’ sort of attitude. Everybody’s in on that, the coaches included. We want to get better every day and we keeping determining how to help each other do it.” This team effort and accountability has everyone buying in on the goal to make it to Cal’s seventh appearance at an NCAA Championship. The players and coaches are very clear on what it is going to take to get them there. “We need to be in the last two pairings of each tournament,” says McDaniel. “As we go forward, we need to learn how to win. Winning before we get to Nationals is a big one.” The Bears have a challenging schedule to prepare them for these lofty goals. They open the season at the Golfweek Conference Challenge outside of Las Vegas. The tournament features a field of 18 teams from 18 different conferences around the country. Cal was selected to represent the Pac-10 in the field.

“Golfweek is a tournament that allows you to compare yourself to other teams nationally and puts us in some good head-to-heads against teams we don’t see all the time,” said McDaniel. “Now when you get to a regional and you see a team like Chattanooga, you know they are good and you don’t just wipe them off the board. I think that’s part of being in the Pac-10 Conference, is having that ability to get invited to high-level tournaments like that.” The fall portion of the schedule also includes a trip to the Hawaiian Islands to compete at the Turtle Bay Invitational, a very select tournament played against top competition on stunning golf courses. “Hawaii is an amazing trip that we take every two years,” McDaniel explained. “We hit the beach. We hit the course. We’re staying at Turtle Bay this year which is a phenomenal resort area. We get to play two of their courses. We have a good time when we go, but this team doesn’t forget that we compete hard. But we also play hard on the beach and do some fun things to get some balance in their lives.” This season, Cal will play at least three tour-

naments in the Bay Area, including two trips to the Stanford Course, which will also host the West Regional in the 2010 post season. “Playing in the Bay Area is really important as we don’t presently host our own tournament,” said McDaniel. “This is an opportunity to get some Cal fans and supporters out there. The Bay Area is rich in quality golf courses and competition. We like to take the opportunity to play here before we go traveling too far.” Fans and opponents will be watching junior Pia Halbig. Halbig set the Cal record for stroke average last season with a stellar 73.0. Halbig was a third-team Golfweek All-American, an honorable mention NGCA All-American, NGCA Schoilar-Athlete, and was first team All-Pac-10. She was tabbed as a preseason third-team All-American by Golfweek and is a player who can contend and challenge as a medalist in any tournament. “Her target focus is like no one I’ve seen,” McDaniel said, explaining what makes Pia such a threat on the course. “Pia is someone who really plays the game of target golf. She plays like an athlete. She spends a lot of time looking at the target and firing it so well. Her willingness to expand her shots around the green will prove fierce this year.” Halbig, who spent her summer playing in Europe, winning the Slovenian International as an individual and a pair of tournaments as a member of the German team, has another major weapon on her side: pride. “She has huge pride in Cal, in her game, and in doing everything she does at a very high level.” Serving as a co-leader on this year’s squad is Cal’s lone senior, Roseanne Niven. Niven comes back to campus fresh off the course at Royal Lytham & St. Annes Golf Club where she competed against the top talent in women’s golf at the 2009 Ricoh British Women’s Open. Niven earned a slot in the women’s golf major by winning the 2008 British Amateur. “Roseanne’s become more vocal as a leader on our team. She brings a real lightness to things, but she also turns around and focuses really well. She always brings this to practice.” The third returner from last year’s lineup is sophomore Diane Kwon. Kwon was a stalwart of the lineup late in the season. Having to fill a void left by the injury to Shannon Yocum, Kwon earned great experience and really found the consistency in her game during the Bears

final tournaments. Kwon’s even-par 72 in the final round of the NCAA Regional was a big part of the Bears’ late charge and rally to try to qualify for Nationals. “Diane has already proven that she is ready to play this year. Last year, she was busy sorting everything out, the normal freshman adjustments. She has gained a lot of maturity over the summer. She has a great balance in her life and a new outlook on golf. She is going to be a force. She’s only a sophomore, so we are really excited about her.” Andrea Waters is the final of Cal’s returners from last year’s squad. The junior saw action in four tournaments last season for the Bears. President of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, she is one of the inspirational and motivating forces on the squad. “Andrea has been constantly improving, waiting patiently for a breakthrough. She is really starting to come into her own, and has become more vocal. She never lets us down with her attitude. The way she appears at practice is always professional.” Joanne Lee, one of the Bears two transfer students, is very familiar with the program. Lee, who was an honorable mention AllPac-10 honoree her freshman season while playing at USC. Lee transferred to Cal in the fall of 2008. Lee has a year of experience practicing with the Bears, but could not compete last year as she redshirted. Now free to compete for Cal, Lee brings experience to the tee box. “Joanne is a consistent player. You are never going to see very high scores out of her. Her strength is her short game. She has a phenomenal feel around the greens and her flop shot is like nobody elses.”
Emily Childs played last season at Colorado before choosing to return to play closer to home. The sophomore from Alameda, Calif. was a two-time Big 12 Golfer of the Month and went on to earn first team All-Big 12 postseason honors with a 73.38 scoring average last season for the Buffaloes.
and Louisiana Freshman of the Year and a member of the C-USA first team. The Green Wave finished fifth at the NCAA East Regional last season, advancing to the NCAA National Championships. Over the summer, Holmvquist posted a victory at the Swedish Mini Tour professional event in Valkommen till Stockholm, Sweden and was the top amateur at the SAS Mater’s tour stop in Sweden. “I think that Daniela is a great fit for Cal. She has really proven herself at Tulane, that she can perform at a very high level both academically and on the golf course. What really impressed me about Daniela, however, was what she was able to accomplish this summer, the success she had winning toplevel tournaments in Sweden. She will really bring an incredible work ethic and new ideas from the Swedish National Team to our team this spring.” Rounding out the squad are two talented freshmen, Joi Pentin and Jacqueline Williams. Pentin, from Pleasanton, had great success golfing with the East Bay Athletic League, with her four-year scoring average in high school 0.7 over par as the East Bay MVP from 2005-08. She played in the 2008 Junior Girls America’s Cup in Calgary, Alberta, Canada on the Northern California team and played in the Walmart First Tee Open at Pebble Beach.
“This team believes we can contend for a Pac-10 and a National Championship, and we intend to do it.” – Head Coach Nancy McDaniel “As a transfer, Emily has jumped right in. The team is really pleased with the way that she has fit right in to our standard. In tournaments, Emily brings great length and hits a ton of greens. We undoubtedly will see some low rounds from her.” Coming in the spring will be a third transfer, sophomore Daniela Holmqvist. Holmqvist, from Lindingo, Sweden, will be transferring to Cal from Tulane University in New Orleans. As a freshman at Tulane, Holmqvist was the individual medalist at the Conference USA Championships, also helping to lead her Green Wave team to the team championship. Holmqvist was also named the C-USA
Sacramento’s Jacqueline Williams was an All-Metro League honoree. She played in two Walmart First Tee Opens at Pebble Beach (2007, 2008). “These two bring an amazing enthusiasm for Cal and for competing at the collegiate level. I know they will give everything to represent Cal in tournaments this season. That push is just what we will need.” The Bears fall schedule runs from September through the first week of November. The traditional spring season begins February 8 at the Rancho Palos Verdes tournament and hopefully goes through May 20 at the NCAA National Championships.

Comments From the Coaches Nancy McDaniel – Head Coach What do I hope that each Cal Golfer gets out of her experience at Cal?
A ton of real life experiences! I want each student-athlete to leave our program excited and ready to take on “life” whether it means playing professionally, interviewing for their first job, getting married, going to grad school. I want them to say that Cal golf gave them a deep sense of working as a team for the greater good and doing something together that you cannot do alone and to do this armed with confidence, able to speak to anyone, carrying with them a grace, respect and passion for the game and for everything they do. I want them to have a connection to Cal Golf always, for the people (teammates and alumnae) to be a part of their life forever. When you come to Cal you leave with an additional family.
What is your most memorable moment at Cal?
Every team has left me with unbelievable moments, from the first Pac-10 Championship to the “rebound round of the decade” at the 2004 NCAA’s, to watching Sarah Huarte get doused with a bucket of ice after winning the NCAA individual title or Sofia Janer’s last round of 69 through excruciating pain in Hawaii last year. This team will always remember the -15 round we had at Colorado State in the fall. It was the afternoon of a 36 hole day and we got it going like I have never seen before, firing at pins and marching the course with a confidence you just can’t touch. With this 08-09 team, the best is yet to come!
What is this teams’ motto?
“Hungry--- Why wait? All it takes is all you got”. This team is poised and ready to take it on. They have their eye on the prize and all systems are go. There really is no holding them back. You can really feel it from our seniors. There is a real positive vibe in the air, they know what they want and they are going to lead their team right to it.
Anna Temple – Assistant Coach WHAT MAKES THIS YEAR’S CAL TEAM SPECIAL?
This year’s Cal team is special because of their talent. They are extremely talented student athletes both on the course and in their studies. They compete on the course for themselves, for the University, and for their countries. They do so with a certainty that I have never experienced. They give all they have on the course and are able to do the same in the classroom. It is quite remarkable what they are able to accomplish.
WHAT EXCITES YOU ABOUT COACHING AT CAL?
Everything excites me about coaching at Cal. It is truly an honor to be coaching at my alma mater and under the tutelage of Coach McDaniel. I learned so much from her as a player, and I’m learning even more from her as her assistant. It is amazing to be a part of this University and the athletic department. Growing up in Berkeley, I have always loved and looked up to the University and all it has to offer and it is a fantastic experience to be involved in this way. I am also incredibly excited to be working with the amazing people on this team. I love having the opportunity to see them everyday and watch them grow into their own.
WHAT HOBBY WOULD YOU LIKE TO MASTER?
I would really like to accomplish the things on my personal growth to do list. Every year I make a list of the things I’d like to do or see that year, but I haven’t yet been successful at doing many of them. My list usually includes going to the opera, the symphony, a San Jose Sharks game, and many other things that I have never done but have wanted to do. It would be awesome if I took the time to do those things just so that I know that I have actually done them.
IF YOU COULD HOP ON A PLANE TOMORROW, WHERE WOULD YOU GO?
A perfect day is most Sundays that I am home. We wake up and read the paper, go to church, come home and have a big breakfast with family and friends and then do something fun and casual like play golf with Jay and the kids, play kickball, football, bike ride or watch one of the kids’ games before a home-cooked (by my husband) Sunday dinner. Then we are all ready for the week to begin!
Luckily for me, I have been extremely fortunate to see most of the globe through my golf career. Pretty much you can name it and I’ve been there. The one place that is high on my list of never been to’s is Chile. Brazil and Argentina would be fun too. And while I’m in the southern hemisphere, New Zealand would be great! If I could go back to places I’ve been, I would love to go back to South Africa, to India, and to Thailand. But like I’ve said, I’ve been blessed to travel all over the world so I wouldn’t be too picky.
What is the hidden ingredient in this team?
WHAT IS INTERESTING ABOUT YOU THAT MOST PEOPLE DON’T KNOW?
What is a perfect day for you?
Team energy and pride are huge. With this team both are inspired naturally. You can recruit the top players in the world but they are only individuals until they all come together and give it up for the team. This team loves what they are doing every day, they always look out for each other, push and hold each other accountable to their dreams, always supporting and having a lot of fun with it.
What dangerous thing would you like to do if the risk of injury weren’t there?
Definitely hang gliding. Take off from a cliff in Hawaii, where I know the water is warm and glide effortlessly,( yeah right, I’d be holding on for dear life) until I hit the water and swim back to shore and do it again! Cliff dive, surf and water ski jump. Pretty much anything that involves water.
Most people don’t know that I share my birthday with my younger brother. We born on the 4th of July, 3 years a part.
WHAT DO YOU ENJOY DOING IN YOUR FREE TIME?
I love watching competitive sports. I love going to events here at the University, I love watching different sporting events on t.v., and I love watching my friends compete in their respective sports. I really enjoy watching people do what they love to do and learn about their experiences and how they were able to become successful. Nancy McDaniel (left) with Anna Temple
Interesting fact that people don’t know about me
I am a good baker (cookies, breads, desserts) but I pretty much burn everything else. If it doesn’t have a timer I am doomed….my husband won’t let me use the stove anymore (oh well).

Cal’s Courses/The Metropolitan Cal Golf Opens State-of-the-Art Short-Game Facility In a huge boost for California’s men’s and women’s golf programs, the Golden Bears opened their new scoring zone – the distance from 120 yards and in – at the Metropolitan Golf Links in Oakland last fall. The Cal athletic department would like to thank everyone who combined to contribute approximately $500,000 to bring the project to fruition. The lead donors were Judy Isaac, Pat and Kent Newmark, Ellen and Joffa Dale, Lon and Becci Haskew and Jay deBenedetti. The programs broke ground on the privately-funded project in 2006 after a long planning process. The two-and-a-half acre state-of-the-art short-game facility is conveniently located on the southwest corner of the Metropolitan Golf Links near the Oakland Airport. Built to United States Golf Association specifications, the facility features two extremely large greens - one for putting and chipping, and the other for the wedge game, including bunker play.

“Every time I need guidance, I know that at Cal there is someone I can turn to. Whether it be the coaches, my teammates, Ahmad (our academic advisor), or our trainer, I know that they are here to support me and push me to grow as a person.” – Joanne Lee
“I have made best friends, and memories I will have forever here at Cal. I have been able to travel around the US and beyond, playing great golf courses and received top quality coaching. I have been met with challenges and opportunities alike and have enjoyed the learning process throughout.” – Roseanne Niven “My experience here at Cal has been one I will never take for granted. The ability for me to play golf at such a great institution surrounded by such a great athletic community has been amazing. I have met so many amazing people and accomplished so much. – Andrea Waters
“Coach McDaniel is more than a coach. She is a role model in several ways. Being around Coach inspires me to be a better golfer, student and person. I think Coach and Anna do not see any limitations in terms of dreams. When I say I want to accomplish something, they will take as much time as it takes to help me devise a plan to reach my goal. No one has ever or will ever love learning as much as Anna, except for those she has inspired. Not only does she share knowledge on every part of the game with us, but she teaches us how to discover things about golf and our games.” – Jackie Williams

2008-09 Season in Review
T
he Bears had a solid spring season, being ranked in the Golfweek top-25 for the entire spring, but they definitely had to work through some adversities. Rain cancelled the Juli Ingster Spartan Invitational, leaving the Bears middle portion of their schedule wide open. They picked up a dual meet against San Jose State and added the La Quinta Tournament to the schedule, an 18-hole on-day event featuring players from Stanford, Harvard, UC Davis, and UCLA all competing as individuals. Cal’s Pia Halbig finished in a tie for first, shooting a one-over at the challenging dessert course. Allison Goodman (75, 6th place) and Diane Kwon (78, 10th place) gave the Bears three players in the top-10 in the tournament. The Bears competed at the PING/ASU tournament without Shanon Yocum, who missed six weeks mid season with an injury. Halbig finished in the top-ten, posting a sixover for a ninth-place finish. Kwon got off to a hot-start, shooting a first-round one-over to finish 36th. Yocum rejoined the team for the Pac-10 Championship where her final round 69 helped the team wrap up a fifth place Conference finish. Halbig had her three-consecutive top-10 finish in a major tournament, finishing at +2, ranking her eighth among the Conference elite. Halbig was named to the All-Pac-10 first team with Yocum and Goodman each earning honorable mentions. The Bears’ solid spring season earned them an at-large bid to the NCAA Regional, Cal’s tenth consecutive trip to the Regionals. The team came within three strokes of qualifying for a trip to the National Championships, but the team’s back nine struggles on the final day caused the Bears to come up just short. They finished in a tie for ninth place with the top eight teams advancing to the National Championships. Goodman was one stroke shy of making it as an individual. Goodman has her score since the season-opener in Colorado, posting an even-par 216. She ended the Regional tied for 13th place. Pia Halbig, in addition to her All-Conference honors, was named a third team Golfweek AllAmerican and an NGCA All-American honorable mention. Her 73.0 season stroke average set the Cal sophomore class record and the singleseason record, besting Sarah Huarte’s 73.82 in 2003-04. Senior Roseanne Niven

Academic Achievement
O
ne of the real success stories for the University of California is the development and growth of a comprehensive academic support program for its student-athletes: the Athletic Study Center. In 1984, campus officials and athletic department administrators decided that a greater emphasis needed to be placed on helping Cal student-athletes with their academic pursuits. The Athletic Study Center was thus born and charged with developing an academic support program tailored to the needs of NCAA Division I studentathletes. It was a significant development for an academically oriented institution such as Cal to recognize the special needs required for a modern student-athlete’s success both as an athletic competitor on the field of play and as a student in the classroom.
Student-Athlete Program The Athletic Study Center, which is housed within the Division of Undergraduate Education, is the tutorial and academic support program for the nearly 1,000 student-athletes at Cal. Centrally located in the Cesar Chavez Student Center, the program provides a spacious and comfortable arboretum for quiet study, separate classrooms for individual and group tutorials, and a computer lab for word processing and required course work. Geared around the understanding of the amount of time studentathletes must devote to practice, training, physical therapy and team travel, the program creates an environment where students can cultivate strong study habits, receive individual or group tutoring and obtain counseling from academic advisors.
Tutorial Program The tutorial program promotes and enhances student academic skills and progress by providing individual tutoring, group workshops, study groups, credit courses and intensive special programs. The Athletic Study Center has between 50-60 tutors on staff per semester to guarantee that students receive the best possible support. Tutorial sessions are also offered at night, enabling student-athletes to receive help after practices when are able to devote more time to studying.
Advising Program The advising program offers a broad range of services to meet the unique needs of studentathletes, including assistance in understanding and complying with university, college and NCAA requirements, developing time management skills and resolving personal academic issues unique to student-athletes. During a student-athlete’s freshman year, advisors provide assistance to ensure a successful academic transition from high school. In the Ahmad Wright sophomore year, they assist student-athletes Academic Advisor in making decisions on appropriate majors and fields of study. Over the course of the final two years, advisors take more of an exiting approach, ensuring that proper academic progress is being made towards graduation while referring juniors and seniors to areas on or near campus that can help with career planning and development.

Special Programs The Athletic Study Center offers a special service called Summer Bridge; an adjunct program designed to help ease the transition from high school to college. The primary components of the program include writing and math workshops, an advising workshop, study skills seminars and an evening tutorial program. Another special program offered is peer advising. Peer advisors provide academic and campus guidance for new intercollegiate student-athletes. They are selected from junior and senior studentathletes who assist in the development of programs to further address the needs of student-athletes.
Strength & Conditioning Pilates Golf Dynamic
A
n integral part of California women’s golf program and its success is the strength and conditioning program, led by Zach Conner and assistants, who supervise the comprehensive operation for the Golden Bear team. The program’s philosophy is geared towards helping each student-athlete achieve the highest level of athletic development. By teaching how all the components of strength and conditioning fit together, student-athletes understand how to maximize force production. This includes enhancement of speed, strength and flexibility, which results in improved power. Motivating, educating and helping to reach maximum athletic development is the primary focus of the Cal program. The Cal weight room includes eight Olympic platforms and an array of aerobic and anaerobic equipment. The picturesque facility offers panoramic views of the entire region, including San Francisco Zach Conner and the Bay. The training regimen at Cal is a year-round process that Strength & emphasizes the speed, strength and flexibility. With closely monitored Conditioning workouts that involve a great deal of individual instruction and attention, student-athletes are taught the correct techniques to increase their ability to perform at their peak during competition. Cal’s program stresses comprehensive training in order to improve both strength and speed. Flexibility is a key component because it is essential for proper lifting. Athlete workouts are closely monitored by the conditioning staff who work in collaboration with the entire sports medicine team (doctors, athletic trainers, physical therapists, nutritionists, etc.) to ensure the health and safety of all of student-athletes. In this way, Cal’s strength and conditioning program is a vital component linking the “full circle” of a student-athlete’s physical development from conditioning through rehabilitation and reconditioning.
The California women’s golf team uses innovative approaches in its pursuit of an NCAA team title. The Golden Bears have embraced the Pilates Method of Exercise, integrating their Pilates workouts with their strength training. With their improved posture and increased body control and awareness, the Bears are carrying themselves taller on and off the course. Pilates and golf have a symbiotic relationship. One of the predominant theories of Pilates is strength and awareness within the core muscles. With this newfound mind-body relationship, the golfers are not only relieved from back pain, but they are able to rotate their center with greater control and fluidity, which yields a more powerful and precise swing. Joseph Quinn graduated from Cal in 2001 with a degree in music and a sore back from being hunched over his guitar. With the help of PiJoseph Quinn lates, his aches and pains dissipated quickly. So impressed with the power of the work, he got certified and opened a studio on Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley. A dedicated Golden Bear, Joseph enthusiastically aided the Cal football team when he heard of their widespread back problems in 2004. With back issues looming for the golf team, Cal women’s golf head coach Nancy McDaniel enlisted the help of Pilates and Quinn in 2007. The Pilates Method of Exercise explores the art and science of human movement. The system was created by boxer and World War I hospital orderly, Joseph Pilates. He developed his concepts of precise and fluid movement with Martha Graham’s modern dancers of New York in the 1920’s. Since then, it has long been the conditioning and rehabilitation secret of the modern dance world. In the last 10 years, Pilates has been recognized by the medical community for its sound properties, and now the athletic world is taking note.

SAN FRANCISCO
Frank Gore
Located across the Bay Bridge from San Francisco, Oakland is a city of over 400,000, jam-packed with exciting attractions, stimulating arts and an ideal climate. Oakland’s charm exceeds its man-made wonders, as its tumbling hills, vast forests, hiking and riding trails, beautiful lakes and numerous parks provide a natural escape for those who prefer nature over an urban environment. Berkeley, just a 12-mile drive from San Francisco, is situated on 17.7 square miles with a population of just under 103,000 people. A study in contrasts, Berkeley is a small town with a big city character. With its world-renowned university, global population and rich diversity of cultural arts, Berkeley reflects and affects the rest of the country.
Sports fans can see it all in the Bay Area - professional football (San Francisco 49ers, Oakland Raiders), professional basketball (Golden State Warriors), professional baseball (San Francisco Giants, Oakland Athletics), professional hockey (San Jose Sharks) and outstanding collegiate competition (six Division I schools).

Student-Athlete High Performance Center
Memorial Stadium Renovation
The Student-Athlete High Performance Center, now under construction, is expected to be completed prior to the 2011 season. The 142,000 square foot facility will house locker rooms, offices and meeting rooms, as well as areas for strength and conditioning, sports medicine, nutrition and academics for football and 12 other intercollegiate sports. The building is the physical manifestation of Cal’s High Performance Initiative, a unique program that challenges student-athletes to reach their level of optimal performance through strategic and efficient application of resources. Using cutting-edge technology and a multidisciplinary approach, the cornerstone principles of the HPI are communication, integration and information.
Memorial Stadium, considered by many to be one of the most beautiful settings for collegiate football, was originally constructed with funds donated by alumni, faculty, students and fans. At the time, Robert Gordon Sproul, who became UC president in 1930, said that the stadium “stands in simple dignity, beauty and strength.” Now, plans are being finalized to renovate the 86-year-old structure, starting with the west side, to create programmatic, game day and fan amenity improvements while respecting the architecture and character of the historic structure. Donors have demonstrated their backing of the privatelyfunded project through their commitment to the Endowment Seat Program (ESP), a first-of-its-kind effort in major college athletics to secure the financial future for the Athletic Department. ESP will provide a long-term, sustaining endowment that could grow to $1 billion over the next 30 years and will be used to fund annual operating needs for Cal’s studentathletes.
