Georgia legend Liz Murphey
A true pioneer in women’s intercollegiate athletics
Liz Murphey was one of the leading figures in the evolution and development of women’s intercollegiate athletics both on the national level and at the University of Georgia. A Newnan, Ga., native, Murphey was not only an outstanding women’s golf coach but also led the overall Lady Bulldog women’s sports program to prominence in the 1980s and 1990s as its senior woman administrator. She died November 23, 2005, following a short illness. “Liz was certainly one of the national pioneers in women’s athletics and one that provided the real foundation for the program here at Georgia,” said former UGA Director of Athletics Vince Dooley. “Her work at Georgia was recognized across the country both as an administrator and golf coach.” Murphey joined the university faculty in 1967 as an assistant professor of physical education and women’s golf coach. She coordinated the women’s club sports program until being named assistant athletic director for women’s sports in 1978. When UGA officially added women’s golf as an intercollegiate sport in the fall of 1978, Murphey already had a solid foundation in place. She led the Lady Bulldogs to 21 team and 18 individual titles from 1978-86.
Under Murphey, Georgia finished in the top 10 at each national championship from 1979-83, including second at the 1981 AIAWs and third at the 1983 NCAAs. Additionally, Terri Moody and Cindy Schreyer won individual national titles in 1981 and 1984, respectively. Murphey was the National Golf Coaches Association’s first-ever National Coach of the Year in 1984, and she was a charter member of that organization’s Hall of Fame. Two of her most prestigious honors were the 1996 Rolex Meritorious Service Award for her contributions to collegiate golf and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Association of Collegiate Women’s Athletic Adminstators in 2003. Under her leadership, Georgia won eight of the 14 SEC women’s all-sports awards, secured four national team championships and captured an additional 31 individual national titles. Murphey retired from the University in May 1996. She was inducted into the UGA Athletic Association’s Circle of Honor – the school’s highest tribute paid to former athletes or coaches – in 2001. Her legacy lives on each spring. For more than three decades, Georgia has hosted the Liz Murphey Collegiate Classic, appropriately one of the nation’s oldest women’s collegiate athletic events in any sport.
Liz’s Legacy
Liz Murphey’s fingerprints are still very much a part of UGA women’s athletics. Murphey hired current UGA women’s head coaches Jack Bauerle (swimming and diving), Andy Landers (basketball) and Jeff Wallace (tennis), as well as the recently retired Suzanne Yoculan (gymnastics). That quartet has combined to lead 16 teams to NCAA Championships and 40 squads to SEC Championships in their respective sports. She also brought in Beans Kelly as her assistant coach in 1986 and handed the reins to the golf program over shortly thereafter. Kelly led Georgia to eight SEC titles and eight top-10 finishes at the NCAAs. Hosting the 1981 AIAW Nationals was perhaps Liz Murphey’s finest hour as a coach and administrator. Terri Moody (upper right) captured the first-ever national title in UGA women’s athletics history and the Lady Bulldogs finished second in the team field (right).

Kelley Hester
After spending the first six-plus years of her career as a collegiate head coach trying to put programs on the map, Kelley Hester accepted a decidedly different challenge on June 6, 2007, when she was introduced as the head coach at the University of Georgia. In returning to her alma mater, Hester was charged with furthering the status of a traditional national powerhouse. “I teed it up for the first time as a Bulldog in 1992, and I think I knew then that I wanted to be a coach and ultimately coach here,” Hester said when hired. Hester’s results prior to returning to Athens proved that Georgia Golf couldn’t be in better hands. In six years at UNLV and Arkansas, she lifted those programs to heights previously thought improbable, if not impossible. The responsibility Hester feels in guiding Georgia Golf goes much deeper than that of your traditional coach. Hester watched Liz Murphey, Beans Kelly and others work tirelessly to make Athens a shining star in the women’s college golf universe. In Hester’s mind, those individuals made Georgia Golf a special entity unlike any other and playing for the Bulldogs should be an experience – both on and off the course – like no other. “It’s hard for me to put into words how much this opportunity means to me,” Hester said. “The University of Georgia has given me so much. In my mind, there’s nothing better than being a Bulldog.”
Hester’s efforts paid immediate dividends. Hwanhee Lee captured medalist honors at the fourth tournament in UNLV history. Though Hester left UNLV after one season, her influence continued. The team she put together earned a bid to the 2004 NCAAs where Sunny Oh, a Hester signee, won the 2004 West Regional and finished 11th individually at the NCAAs. Hester then ventured to her SEC roots and had a similar effect on an Arkansas program with little direction. The Lady Razorbacks won two team titles, produced a medalist and made one NCAA Regional appearance in their first seven seasons of existence. Hester led Arkansas to a pair of fall victories in her first season, a campaign that culminated with the Lady Razorbacks securing the first of five straight Regional bids. Arkansas advanced to NCAA Championships play for the first time ever in 2005 and posted its first top10 effort a year later. The following spring, Stacy Lewis won the 2007 NCAA individual title.

Margaret Shirley
Assistant Coach • Auburn ’08 • 2nd season Margaret Shirley, a native of Roswell, Ga., and a two-time winner of the Yamaha Georgia Women’s Open, was named assistant coach for the Bulldogs in July 2009. “Margaret brings many great things to the table,” head coach Kelley Hester said. “She has great ties to junior golf and golf in general inside the state of Georgia. One of my primary goals is to help with grass roots efforts in growing girls’ golf in the state. I think that Margaret can definitely assist with that.” Shirley was a standout golfer at Auburn from 2004-08 and is one of seven players in the program’s history to compete in four straight NCAA Championships. She was a three-time, second-team All-SEC performer for the Tigers and also was named to the SEC Community Service Team on three occasions. Shirley helped Auburn capture back-to-back SEC Championships during her freshman and sophomore years, placing third individually in 2006 after tying for 16th in 2005. She also led the Tigers at the 2008 SECs where she tied for fourth in the individual field. All told, Shirley recorded eight top-10 and 14 top-20 finishes at Auburn, including a runner-up effort at the 2005 Lady Puerto Rico Classic. She also won the 2006 and 2008 Georgia Women’s Open while competing as an amateur. Shirley enjoyed a very successful junior career as well. She recorded five top-10 finishes on the AJGA Tour. Shirley helped Lassiter High capture the AAAAA state title as a freshman in 2001 and tied (with former Georgia All-American Garrett Phillips) for medalist honors at the 2004 AAAAA State Championships as a senior.
Shirley played professionally on the Florida Suncoast Series in 2008-09, posting two wins and finishing as the Tour’s leading money winner. After accepting the position as an assistant coach at Georgia, Shirley successfully petitioned to regain her amateur status. On July 18, 2010 – year after her last professional event – Shirley returned to the amateur ranks. She qualified for the 2010 U.S. Amateur the very next day, reaching the first round of match play competition in Charlotte. Qualifying for the Am was part of an impressive summer of results for Shirley which included a trio of one-stroke, runner-up finishes. She was second to current Georgia golfer Emilie Burger at the Georgia Women’s Open, placed behind former Auburn teammate Danielle Downey at the Tennessee Women’s Open and finished second to current Bulldog Kendall Wright at the Georgia Women’s Amateur. Shirley received her bachelor’s degree in Communications with a minor in Sport Coaching from Auburn in 2008.

Liz Murphey (1978-86)
Liz Murphey, a leader in the evolution of women’s intercollegiate athletics, had been at UGA for a decade when the school named women’s golf an intercollegiate sport. She led Georgia top-10 finishes at each national championship from 1979-83 and coached Terri Moody and Cindy Schreyer to individual national titles. Murphey also served as SWA for 18 years and guided UGA women’s athletics to six SEC All-Sports titles from 1984-94.
Beans Kelly (1986-00)
Never labeled predictable, Beans Kelly resigned as UGA’s head coach in 2000 while seemingly on top of the golf world. Under her tutelage, the Lady Bulldogs won 43 team and 33 individual titles, including Vicki Goetze’s 1992 NCAA title; captured seven SEC Championships; and posted eight NCAA top-10 finishes. She was named National Coach of the Year in 1998 and in 2000 became the youngest coach inducted into the NGCA Hall of Fame.
Todd McCorkle (2000-07)
Todd McCorkle arrived in Athens in 2000 just months after leading Arizona the national championship. The next spring, McCorkle coached UGA to the program’s first-ever women’s golf team NCAA title and became just the second coach in Division I history to win back-to-back NCAA championships at two schools. McCorkle also led the Bulldogs to two SEC titles and seven golfers of his combined to earn 11 All-America certificates.
100 Percent Club includes some of UGA’s greatests One of the most elite associations with Bulldog golf is the “100 Percent Club.” To qualify, a player must represent UGA at every event in her career, a feat only accomplished by eight golfers in the program’s history. As one would expect, the list features some of the Bulldogs’ best golfers ever, including: Cindy Pleger, who was second individually at the 1982 AIAWs; Tina Paternostro,

a four-time medalist and 1991 NCAA Long Driving Champion; Erin O’Neil, UGA’s first four-time All-SEC performer; Julia Boros, a 1998 All-American and Academic All-American; Shauna Estes, UGA’s only four-time All-American; Laura Henderson, a four-time All-SEC honoree; Angela Jerman, the 2002 SEC Golfer of the Year; and Summer Sirmons, the only Bulldog to win her collegiate debut.

Summer Sirmons became the first and only Georgia golfer to win her collegiate debut when she captured medalist honors at the 1998 Auburn Tiger Invitational. Sirmons did so by winning a five-person playoff which ironically included her teammate and classmate Angela Jerman.
Shauna Estes receives the championship trophy at the 1999 Mercedes-Benz Collegiate, the sixth of her school-record seven trips to the winner’s circle as a Bulldog.

2010-11 Georgia Golf
National Champions 2001 NCAAs
1981 AIAWs
Terri Moody moved atop the leaderboard midway through the second round of the 1981 AIAW National Championships on the UGA Golf Course and held off a late charge from Miami’s Patti Rizzo to win Georgia’s first-ever individual national title by a female student-athlete in any sport. Moody was among a group of five golfers tied for second following an opening-round 73, but grabbed a onestroke lead over Rizzo with a 72 on her second loop. The Athens native maintained that advantage when she and Rizzo both carded third-round 75s. On the final day, Rizzo’s 75 knotted the Terri Moody score atop the leaderboard and forced 1981 AIAW Champion a three-hole playoff. Moody completed the trio of holes at 1-under while Rizzo was 1-over.
The 2001 Lady Bulldogs utilized three rounds of consistent golf to place themselves in contention and then used a spectacular finalround effort to win UGA’s first-ever national title in women’s golf. Georgia shot 298 and was among three teams tied for fourth after the first round but climbed to sole possession of third place after posting a second-round 295. The Lady Dogs improved to 293 in the third round but still trailed top-ranked Duke by four strokes entering the final 18 holes. Georgia seized contol early in the final round, tying the Blue Devils by No. 5 and then surging to a three-shot lead at No. 6. Duke never got closer than two shots thereafter. Georgia clinched the title with steely resolve. After a trio of bogeys at No. 16, UGA played the par-5 No. 17 at 3-under to all but seal the title. The Lady Bulldogs’ fourth-round score of 290 was six shots better than anyone else in the field, as Reilley Rankin and Summer Sirmons carded a pair of 72s, while Laura Henderson and Angela Jerman both shot 73. All four of those Lady Bulldogs finished among the top 18 individuals.
1984 NCAAs
Cindy Schreyer claimed a dramatic win at the 1984 NCAA Championships, winning a three-hole playoff with SMU’s Martha Foyer and Miami’s Michele Bertroitti with a birdie at No. 12. Schreyer had battled Arizona State’s Heather Farr through most of the tournament. Farr carded an opening-round score of 71 at Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club in Tarpon Springs, Fla. Schreyer, who was among seven golfers tied for eighth after the first day, rebounded to break the course record and knot herself with Farr on the leaderboard with a second-round 70. Farr regained a one-shot lead following the third Cindy Schreyer round. While Schreyer shot 76 in the 1984 NCAA Champion final round, Foyer and Berteotti carded 75s to force the playoff. Farr slipped to fourth with a 79, two strokes off the playoff-forcing score of 297.

1992 NCAAs
Vicki Goetze turned in one of the most impressive single rounds in the history of women’s collegiate golf en route to capturing top individual honors at the 1992 NCAA Championships on Arizona State University’s Karsten Golf Course. Goetze and Stanford’s Audrey Wooding led following first-round, 3-under 69s; however, Annika Sorenstam of Arizona grabbed a three-shot advantage with a second-round 68. Sorenstam maintained that lead after both she and Goetze shot 72s in the third round. Goetze then torched the course with a 7-under 65 on the fourth day to top Sorenstam by three shots. Goetze’s effort still remains in the Georgia records the Bulldogs’ lowest single-round of all time.

Georgia has won three team titles and one individual crow since the NCAA introduced the Regional qualifying tourney for the NCAA Championships in 1993. The Bulldogs took top team honors at the East Regionals in 1993, ’98 and ’99 and Reilley Rankin was medalist in 1998. In 1999, the Bulldogs (pictured above) erased an 11-stroke deficit during a miraculous final-round rally.
