The University of Georgia Golf Course opened in 1968 with the purpose of supporting the university community and a collegiate golf program. Over the years the course has become an important recreation facility not only for the University, but for the state of Georgia as a whole.
Avid golfer Dr. Omer C. Aderhold served as the University of Georgia’s President from 1950-67 and was a driving force behind the creation of the UGA Golf Course.
“Dr. Aderhold loved the game of golf,” said Liz Murphey, UGA’s legendary women’s coach and athletics administrator, during the 1993 NCAA Championships. “He was the reason the course was built.”
“You could even say this venue is to women’s collegiate championships in the same fashion as what Oakmont Country Club might be to the U.S. Open.
The University already owned the land and Dr. Aderhold was a personal friend of Robert Trent Jones Sr., the golf course’s architect. In addition, UGA students were so interested in having a golf course that they agreed to pay for it in their student activity fees over a five-year period during the 1960s.
“Five times the UGA Golf Course has hosted the women’s national championship (1971, ‘81, ‘83, ‘93 and 2013). Oakmont Country Club has hosted eight U.S. Opens.” – Lance Ringler, Golfweek during 2013 NCAAs
Over its history, the UGA Golf Course hosted a number of different tournaments including the annual Liz Murphey Collegiate Classic, the PGA Junior Championship, the Men’s and Women’s SEC Championships, Men’s and Women’s NCAA Regionals, as well as the women’s collegiate national championships on five occasions – the 1971 Division of Girls’ and Women’s Sports (DGWS) Intercollegiate Championships, the 1981 Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) Championships and the 1983, 1993 and 2013 NCAA Championships. In 2020, the course was slated to host an NCAA Regional for the third time before the COVID-19 pandemic prematurely ended that season. In October 2020, it was announced the UGA layout will now host an NCAA Regional in 2023.
By 1990, the course needed heavy renovation and Dave Cousart, the golf course manager, worked to rebuild the greens and irrigation system, as well as integrate a number of Jones’ features that had been left out because of the limited budget back in the 1960s.
In May 2006, the greens and the greens complex were completely renovated by Love Golf Design of St. Simons Island. The new green design brought the course up to the championship standards of today’s top professional and collegiate players. The greens are very characteristic of a Jones course and the renovation included 21 new tees, making the course more versatile for both amateurs and professionals.
From 2010-13, the UGA Golf Course hosted the Stadion Classic, an event on the PGA’s Nationwide Tour and later web. com Tours. The UGA layout joined only a handful of university courses to ever host a Nationwide Tour event since the tour’s first tournament in 1990.
The UGA Golf Course has a long history for being ranked among the top courses in the nation. In 2020, Golfweek tabbed UGA as the fifth-best public-access course in Georgia and also named it the 18th-best college layout in the nation. In 2019, Golf Advisor named the UGA course as the fifth-best university layout in the nation and the eighth-best course in Georgia. In 2009, it was selected as one of the best 25 best university courses in the nation by Links Magazine.
The course remains the home of the Liz Murphey Collegiate Classic, one of the nation’s longest running women’s intercollegiate competitions in any sport. Traditionally a spring event, the Liz Murphey did move to the fall in 1992 and 2012 to serve as a “fall preview” for the following spring’s NCAA Championships.
The list of golfers who have competed in the Liz Murphey Collegiate Classic reads like a “Who’s Who” of women’s golf, including LPGA Hall of Famers Beth Daniel, Betsy King and Julie Inkster as well as current standouts Bailey Tardy, Stacy Lewis and Brittany Lang.
From the hill above the University of Georgia Golf Course’s No. 13 green spectators can view as many as nine (or more) shots.
The list of golfers who have competed collegiately in the Liz Murphey Collegiate Classic reads like a “Who’s Who” of women’s golf, including LPGA Hall of Famers Beth Daniel, Betsy King and Julie Inkster. The LMCC, one of the oldest continuous sporting events in all of women’s college athletics, will be contested for the 51st time on March 24-26, 2023.
The event began in 1973 as the Georgia Invitational before becoming the Women’s Southern Intercollegiates from 197794. In 1995, it was renamed in honor of Murphey, UGA’s Hall of Fame golf coach and long-time Senior Woman Administrator.
Georgia has enjoyed success protecting its home turf. The Bulldogs have won 14 team titles and produced 12 medalists.
In 2014, the Liz Murphey format was altered to feature a combination of stroke play and match play in advance of a similar change for the 2015 NCAA Championships. Seven teams from
the next three Liz Murpheys went on to reach match play at the NCAA Championships later those seasons. In 2015, Stanford competed in the LMCC’s consolation bracket but went on to win the national title.
After the 48th LMCC was originally cancelled in March of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the tournament was contested twice during the 2020-21 campaign. The 48th event was held in the fall, and the 49th edition was played during the spring.

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.
“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 spearheading their transition to intercollegiate status following the passage of Title IX in 1972. Initially funded by a $15,000 grant from the Athletic Association, Murphey quickly supplied a significant return on that investment as Georgia’s six original women’s sports programs – basketball, gymnastics, golf, swimming & diving, tennis and volleyball – prospered and moved into national prominence.
Murphey herself was largely responsible for the success of the golf program as its head coach. She led the Lady Bulldogs to 21 team and 18 individual titles from 1978-86. Georgia finished in the top 10 at each
Liz Murphey’s fingerprints remain on UGA women’s athletics long after she retired in 1996. Murphey hired current Georgia tennis coach Jeff Wallace, as well as hall-of-fame coaches Jack Bauerle (swimming and diving), Beans Kelly (golf), Andy Landers (basketball) and Suzanne Yoculan (gymnastics). The aforementioned quintet has combined to lead 19 teams to NCAA Championships and 53 SEC Championships. Kelly succeeded Murphey and went on to lead Georgia to eight SEC Championships and eight top-10 finishes at the NCAA Championships between 1986-2000.
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 moved within the UGA Athletic Association in 1978 when she was named assistant athletic director for women’s sports. 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 was the first-ever NGCA 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 and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Association of Collegiate Women’s Athletic Adminstators in 2003.
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.
Murphey passed away on November 23, 2005, following a short illness; however, her legacy lives on. For five decades, Georgia has hosted a premier women’s golf tournament. The event was renamed the Liz Murphey Collegiate Classic in 1995. Fittingly, the tournament is one of the nation’s oldest women’s collegiate athletic events in any sport.
It’s difficult to preview the outlook of the 202223 Georgia women’s golf team without briefly reviewing the Bulldogs’ immediate past. The necessity comes from the fact that Georgia returns every golfer who has competed for the Bulldogs at the past two NCAAs.
Georgia, which historically has been one of women’s college golf’s premier programs, moved back into the national spotlight in 2021 and 2022.
Last spring, Georgia reached the match play portion of the NCAA Championships for the first time since the format was adopted in 2015 and then pushed Stanford, the eventual national champions, to the brink before falling 3-2 in the quarterfinals. With that, the Bulldogs officially finished fifth at the national championships, their best showing since 2002.
That performance came after another solid showing to wrap up the 2021 campaign. Georgia swept the team and individual titles at the NCAA Columbus Regional and became an outside favorite to make noise at the national championships before finishing 18th.
After advancing to the NCAA Championships for the first time since 2016 in 2021 and then reaching match play in 2022, the Bulldogs have their sites set even higher in 2023.
Managing those expectations was at the forefront of head coach Josh Brewer’s mind when the season began.
“We had success in 2021, winning the Regional with a sweep and getting back to the national championship. Last year, we had to manage that,” Brewer said. “This year, it’s managing internal expectations of wanting to get back and make match play, but we all know that’s eight months away. You’ve got to build the right blocks. We’re confident we can do that.”
Georgia’s eight-golfer roster features no less than six seniors – fifth-years Jenny Bae and Jo Hua Hung and fourth-years Caroline Craig, Céleste Dao, Caterina Don and Candice Mahé. Rounding out the Bulldogs are junior Isabella Holpfer and sophomore LoraLie Cowart.
“We’ve talked as a team, and we know we’re old,’” Brewer said. “We have a bunch of players who have been here three, four years. We understand what a schedule and season looks like.”
One variable the Bulldogs knew that the vast majority of teams don’t is where they will compete during NCAA Regionals. For the third time since 2008, Georgia and the UGA Golf Course will serve as a Regional site. The Bulldogs were slated to host a Regional in 2020 before the NCAA Championships were cancelled following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
While Georgia will need to play extremely well to advance to the nationals, Brewer knows there will be some home course advantage.
“I think for our golf course especially the biggest advantage is around the greens – chipping, putting, pitching the golf ball and understanding how to play certain holes correctly,” Brewer said.
“I think that’s a big advantage. For us, I don’t think it’s that hard of a driving golf course as far as off the tee. It’s more short game driven which, again, I think fits us really well because we spend so much time doing that already.”
Georgia’s lineup is anchored by super seniors Bae and Hung, mainstays for the Bulldogs since arriving in Athens as mid-year enrollees in January 2019. Combined, they entered the 2023 spring campaign with 82 tournament appearances resulting in 39 top-20 finishes and 96 par-or-better rounds. Individually, Bae has earned All-America honors following each of the past two seasons and qualified for the 2022 and 2023 editions of the Augusta National Women’s Amateur. Hung was an SEC All-Freshman honoree in 2019 and qualified for the 2021 U.S. Women’s Open.
Traditional seniors Craig, Dao, Don and Mahé also have considerable accomplishments between them, with a combined three U.S. Women’s Opens and three ANWA appearances.
Craig covered six fall rounds in 2022 at a 71.83 clip, with three par-or-better loops including a career-low 66. Dao produced a consistent fall campaign, with five of her six rounds featuring scores between 72-75. Don is not only one of Georgia’s top golfers, she won the Joel Eaves Award at UGA’s female student-athlete in all sports with the highest GPA entering her senior year. Mahé was a key ingredient in the Bulldogs’ NCAA success over the past two years, finishing sixth at last spring’s national championships and in the top-5 at Regionals in both 2021 and 2022.
Holpfer’s junior season started slightly later than her teammates’ as she competed in the World Team Amateur Championships for Austria before returning to campus.
Cowart bounced back from a wrist injury in the fall of 2021 to earn a spot in Georgia’s lineup for all three postseason events in 2022.
Georgia displayed the ability to go low throughout the fall season, as the Bulldogs shot paror-better as a team in six of 12 rounds. All told,
Georgia’s eight golfers combined to record 25 individual par-or-better scores in 66 fall loops, including 10 efforts in the 60s.
The highlight of the fall was a school-record 20-under performance at the Illini Invitational. Bae led the way with her own program-record effort, a 16-under tally to capture medalist honors.
With such a deep roster, Brewer’s most challenging task of the spring could be mixing and matching to put the correct golfers on the course for each event. Bae was easily Georgia’s top performer throughout the fall, shooting a combined 32-under over 12 rounds. After that, the seven other Bulldogs recorded averages separated by less than three strokes, ranging from 71.83 (Hung) to 74.67 (both Dao and Don).
Georgia’s coach, in his 11th season with the Bulldogs, seemed eager to find that quintet.
“I like team,” Brewer stated matter of factly. “That’s why you coach. If not, I’d go hang out with someone on Tour or go caddy.”

Josh Brewer has put Georgia women’s golf back into the national spotlight...and he’s eager for even greater success.
During his 10 seasons, the Bulldogs have posted 30 victories, with 15 individual and 15 team wins. Headlining that list is a pair of NCAA Regional sweeps. The Bulldogs captured the 2016 Bryan Regional when Georgia shot what was then its best-ever postseason score (8-under) and Bailey Tardy earned medalist honors. The second dominating Regional performance came in 2021 when the Bulldogs and Jenny Bae topped the leaderboards in Columbus. Georgia bested the rest of the field by 15 strokes.
However, the most impressive performance by Brewer’s Bulldogs came in 2022 when Georgia advanced the match play at the NCAA Championships for the first time since the format was adopted in 2015. Georgia placed eighth over 72 holes of stroke play, where Jenny Bae and Candice Mahé tied for sixth to make the Bulldogs the only team in the nation with a pair of top-10 finishers. The Bulldogs then pushed Stanford, the eventual national champions, to the brink. Georgia dropped a 3-2 decision to the Cardinal and officially tied for fifth place at the NCAAs.
School records have fallen at a record pace on Brewer’s watch.
Individually, eight of Georgia’s top-10 season stroke averages are owned by Bulldogs who played under Brewer, including Jillian Hollis’ school record 71.04 in 2017-18. Current Bulldog Caterina Don broke UGA’s single round record with an 8-under 64 at the 2021 LTWF Heroes Intercollegiate. In addition, Bae set the 54hole mark (16-under) at the 2022 Illini Invitational.
On the team front, Georgia has posted its top-three season stroke averages ever. The Bulldogs also have notched seven of their top-10 tourney tallies, headlined by a school-record 20-under at the 2022 Illini Invitational at historic Medinah Country Club, and 13 of the top-20 single rounds in school history, a list that features a best-ever 14-under at the 2021 Cougar Classic.
JOSH BREWER
HEAD COACH
11TH SEASON AT UGA
INDIANA ‘98
@COACHJOSHBREWER
All of the aforementioned is quite remarkable considering Brewer’s experiences with intercollegiate athletics appeared to have ended in a storybook fashion two decades ago.
As a senior at Indiana, Brewer birdied the final two holes to finish second individually and help the Hoosiers secure a one-stroke victory at the 1998 Big Ten Championships. While Brewer did not know so at the time, the event was the final tournament in both his career and that of legendary coach Sam Carmichael.
“That was the last year that a conference championship didn’t earn you an automatic bid to the NCAAs,” Brewer said. “We were ‘on the bubble’ and thought winning the Big Tens would get us in, but it didn’t. Obviously, I was disappointed at the time, but to look back at it now, it was a pretty neat way to wrap up my career as a college golfer.”
University of Southern Cal
’08-12 Asst. Coach – W&M
University of Georgia
After winning the 1998 Indiana Am crown that summer, Brewer quickly moved into the business world as a financial advisor with Linsco/Private Ledger in Indianapolis. Three falls later, Mike Mayer, who moved from assistant to head coach at IU after Carmichael retired, asked Brewer to share his experiences in golf and school and the transition to professional life with the current team.
From that, Brewer planted a seed with Mayer, who also was his childhood golf instructor, and when an opening arose soon thereafter, Brewer returned to IU.
Brewer helped the Hoosiers enjoy very solid success over the next six seasons. Indiana was represented in NCAA competition each of his those campaigns. After reaching in NCAA Regionals in 2004, 2005 and 2006, the Hoosiers returned to the NCAA Championships as a team in 2008, their first appearance since Brewer’s sophomore year in 1996.
All told, Brewer helped coach two All-Americans, three Big Ten Players of the Year honorees, two Palmer Cup members, one Walker Cup member and four scholastic All-Americans.
In 2008, Brewer ventured from his roots to become assistant coach for both the men’s and women’s golf teams at Southern Cal, where he helped both programs thrive during four seasons in Los Angeles.
Brewer help produce two PAC-10 Championships teams and golfers who won National Player of the Year, National Freshman of the Year, 12 All-America certificates, three PAC-10 Player of the Year awards and two PAC-10 Freshman of the Year accolades. In addition, USC had two Curtis Cup and two Palmer Cup team members.
On June 18, 2012, Brewer was named the head coach at the University of Georgia.
“I have been blessed to learn under some of the country’s greatest coaches, and I look forward to using these lessons,” Brewer said. “Georgia is a program that has a rich and storied history beginning with one of women’s athletics greatest visionaries and leaders, Liz Murphey. I want to help build on the tradition she started at UGA of winning championships while graduating our student-athletes.”
Brewer’s first 10 seasons in Athens have demonstrated that he is well on his way to doing just that.
COACH
1ST SEASON AT UGA ILLINOIS ‘14
Ember Holloway joined the Georgia women’s golf program as assistant coach in July 2022 after spending the previous season as an assistant coach at Purdue.
“We just became better today,” Georgia head coach Josh Brewer said. “Ember Holloway is a perfect fit for our program and the University of Georgia. Her background as a player, pro and coach is impressive. Most importantly, she believes in developing student-athletes in golf and life. Ember showed her coaching skills by helping guide Purdue to a top-12 finish at the 2022 National Championships. Her tutelage under hall-of-fame coach Devon Brouse means we are adding a coach who is ready to help us build on our top-5 finish at the National Championships last season. We are excited to have Ember and her husband, Mike, in Athens.”
Holloway was a standout golfer at Illinois from 2010-14 as the former Ember Schuldt and then played professionally for three seasons.
“I cannot express my gratitude enough to Coach Brewer for giving me the opportunity to be a part of such a storied program,” Holloway said. “I’m thrilled to join the team in Athens and work on building off of last year’s success. The campus, community and facilities are truly one-of-a-kind, and I look forward to helping the Bulldogs on and off the course.”
Holloway served as the assistant and interim head golf professional at Urbana Country Club in Illinois in 2020 after spending two years as the senior assistant golf professional at Boot Ranch Golf Club in Fredericksburg, Texas.
A native of Sterling, Ill., Holloway compiled the second-lowest single-season and career stroke averages in program history at Illinois. In 50 career events, she recorded 10 top-10 and 20 top-20 individual finishes.

Though its origins run deeper, Georgia women’s golf’s move to a national powerhouse began in 1967 when Liz Murphey joined the UGA faculty as an assistant physical education professor and golf coach. Murphey gradually built the program’s stature while still a “club” sport and then quickly took Georgia Golf to another level following its move to “intercollegiate” status with the passage of Title IX. Since then, the Bulldogs have consistently been among the nation’s elite.
All told, the Bulldogs have earned four national championships – one team and three individual titles. In addition, Georgia has captured an SEC-best 19 team and individual league titles.
Last season, the Bulldogs added a significant chapter to their history, reaching the eight-team match play bracket at the NCAA Championships for the first time since its introduction in 2015 and tying for fifth in the team field after falling to eventual national champion Stanford, 3-2, in the quarterfinals. Jenny Bae and Candice Mahé tied for sixth individually in Scottsdale, making Georgia the only team with two top-10 individual finishers at the 2022 NCAAs.
Georgia Golf has captured four national championships – three individual crowns and one team title.
Athens native Terri Moody became the Bulldogs’ first national medalist. She won the 1981 AIAW title at the UGA Golf Course, doing so in a three-hole playoff over Miami’s Patti Rizzo.
Cindy Schreyer secured Georgia’s first NCAA medalist honor by winning at the Innisbrook Resort in Tarpon Springs, Fla., in 1984. She did so in much the same style as Moody, in a three-hole sudden-death playoff win over SMU’s Martha Foyer and Miami’s Michele Berteotti.
Perhaps no other player made the impact that Vicki Goetze did in her two-season stint at Georgia. She capped her freshman year by shooting a tourney-record 65 on the last day of the 1992 NCAA Championships in Tempe, Ariz., to win medalist honors by three over Arizona’s Annika Sorenstam.
In 2001, the Bulldogs captured their first team national title. Georgia rallied from a four-shot deficit entering the final round to best top-ranked Duke by three shots in Howey-in-the-Hills, Fla.
On the team front, Georgia has now finished among the top 20 schools at the national championships during 28 of the last 44 years – 21 of those in the top 10. UGA has captured 11 SEC team crowns, including the only back-to-back-to-back championships in league history from 1997-99.
Individually, Georgia golfers have posted 38 top-20 individual finishes at national championships. Four of those came in 2001 alone, when Reilley Rankin, Laura Henderson, Angela Jerman and Summer Sirmons all did so en route to securing the team national title. The aforementioned quartet is among 34 golfers who have been named All-America 61 times. In addition, Bulldogs have won eight SEC individual titles, eight SEC Golfer of the Year honors and nine SEC Freshman of the Year accolades.
Liz Murphey’s status as a hall-of-fame coach was cemented with Georgia’s six top-10 finishes at the national championships in a seven-year span from 1979-85. That stretch included a runner-up showing in 1981 when Terri Moody won medalist honors at the AIAW Championships.
As Murphey’s role with the UGA Athletic Association’s administration increased, Beans Kelly, a member of Bulldog teams that finished fourth and third at the 1982 and 1983 national championships, respectively, took the reins from her mentor as women’s golf coach in the fall of 1985. She continued to build upon the foundation Murphey established. During Beans’ tenure from 1986-2000, Georgia collected seven SEC Championships, five SEC individual crowns and five top-10 NCAA finishes, including a pair of runnerup showings.
Todd McCorkle assumed the helm in 2000 and delivered the program’s first-ever team national title the following spring. He also led Georgia to a pair of SEC team titles in his first and final seasons in Athens.
Kelley Hester, a three-time All-SEC performer as the former Kelley Richardson, christened the newest chapter in Georgia Golf lore in 2008 and led the Bulldogs to two more top-20s over a five-season stretch.
Josh Brewer was named as the Bulldogs’ fifth head coach in June 2012 and immediately began to build upon UGA’s rich golf legacy. He has led Georgia to 30 total championships – 15 team and 15 individual. Highlighting that ledger are the 2022 fifth-place effort at the NCAA Championships and a pair of sweeps of the team and individual titles at NCAA Regionals in 2016 (Bryan, Texas) and 2021 (Columbus, Ohio).
Vicki Goetze arrived in Athens as one of the most celebrated and decorated junior golfers ever. Goetze was a six-time AJGA All-American and three-time National Junior Golfer of the Year. She won the 1989 U.S. Amateur during the summer after her sophomore year of high school and won a second Am in 1992 following her freshman campaign at UGA.
Georgia golfers have also won three additional USGA titles and international Bulldogs have several significant titles, including the South American Am, Argentine Am, Brazilian Am, Canadian Am and Spanish Am.
The year before Terri Moody won her individual national crown, she became UGA’s first representative in the Curtis Cup, the biennial competition between top amateurs from the U.S. and Great Britain & Ireland. Bulldogs have represented the U.S. six more times, as well as GB&I in 2008.
Eighteen Bulldogs have gone on to play on the LPGA Tour, with four topping $1 million in career earnings and the group winning more than $8.5 million combined. In addition, 29 Georgia golfers have competed on the Futures Tour.
Nanci Bowen won the 1995 Nabisco Dinah Shore, the first major by a Georgia golfer. In 1986, Cindy (Pleger) Mackey became the initial former Bulldog to secure an LPGA win, a 16-shot victory at the MasterCard International that still stands as the Tour record for largest margin of victory.
For all the success on the course, the Bulldogs’ academic resume is equally impressive. The program has captured UGA’s Faculty Athletic Representatives Award – given annually to the women’s and men’s teams with the highest GPAs – 13 times, most recently with a 3.55 in 2020-21.
In 1998, Julia Boros earned the Edith Munson Award as the senior AllAmerican golfer with the highest grade point average and was awarded an NCAA post-graduate scholarship.
Four golfers have received the Marilyn Vincent Award as UGA’s graduating female student-athlete with the highest grade point average – Cindy Pleger in 1983, Jill Kinloch in 1990, Sabra Gray in 1997 and Shannon Ogg in 2000.

Liz Murphey arrived in 1967 as an assistant professor of Physical Education and transitioned to lead UGA women’s athletics to national prominence soon after the passage of Title IX. As the women’s golf coach, Murphey’s teams posted top-10 finishes at each national championship from 1979-83 and she coached Terri Moody and Cindy Schreyer to individual national titles. Murphey also guided UGA women’s athletics to six SEC AllSports titles from 1984-94.
Never one to be labeled as predictable, Beans Kelly resigned in 2000 while seemingly on top of the college golf world. Under her tutelage spanning from 1985-2000, the Lady Bulldogs won 43 team and 33 individual titles, including Vicki Goetze’s 1992 NCAA title; captured seven SEC crowns; 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 arrived in Athens just months after leading Arizona to the national championship. The next spring, McCorkle coached Georgia to the program’s first-ever NCAA team title and became just the second coach in Division I history to win back-to-back NCAA championships at two schools. During his seven seasons from 2000-07, McCorkle also led the Bulldogs to two SEC titles and seven of his Bulldog golfers combined to earn 11 All-America certificates.
Kelley Hester returned to her alma mater in June 2007 and furthered the storied tradition of Georgia Golf. Over five seasons in Athens from 2007-12, she led the Bulldogs to a pair of top-20 finishes in her five campaigns in Athens. Individually, Marta Silva Zamora blossomed under Hester’s tutelage to become the consensus National Player of the Year in 2011 and five different Bulldogs combined to secure eight All-America certificates during Hester’s tenure.

Led by medalist Jenny Bae, Georgia swept the team and individual titles at the 2021 NCAA Columbus Regional. Georgia and Bae entered the final round atop the leaderboard with seven- and one-shot leads, respectively, before widening those gaps. The Bulldogs wrapped up play on the OSU Scarlet Course at 1-over 865 to earn a 15-shot victory over the runner-up, No. 2 Duke. Bae’s 4-under 212 was three shots better than the rest of the field.

* - Denotes playoff; ◊ Note: in instances where Georgia won the team championship or medalist honors, the second-place finisher is listed. The 1981-82 season represented the transition from AIAW to NCAA administration of the championships. Both bodies host events that year. In 2015, the NCAA Championships altered its format to feature a combination of stroke play and match play to determine the team national champion.
Terri Moody moved atop the leaderboard midway through the second round of the 1981 AIAW Nationals at the UGA Golf Course and held off a late charge from Mi ami’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 fol lowing an opening-round 73, but grabbed a one-stroke lead over Rizzo with a 72 on her second loop.
Moody, an Athens native who was the first female student-ath lete to receive a full athletic schol arship from UGA, maintained that advantage when she and Rizzo both carded third-round 75s. On the final day, Rizzo’s 75 knotted the score and forced a three-hole playoff. Moody completed the trio of holes at 1-under while Rizzo was 1-over.
Cindy Schreyer claimed a dramatic win at the 1984 NCAA Championships, winning a threehole playoff with SMU’s Martha Foyer and Miami’s Missie Berteoitti 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 secondround 70.
Farr regained a one-shot lead following the third round.
While Schreyer shot 76 in the 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.
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 same margin after both she and Goetze shot 72s on the third day.
Goetze then torched the course with a 7-under 65 on the fourth day to top Sorenstam by three.
Goetze’s effort still remains as both the low single-round score in NCAA Championships history (though four other golfers have equaled the mark) and the Bulldogs’ low loop all time as well.
The 2001 Bulldogs utilized three days of consistent golf to place themselves in contention and then used a spectacular final-round 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 opening day but climbed to sole possession of third after a second-round 295. The Bulldogs improved to 293 in the third round but still trailed topranked Duke by four entering the final 18 holes.
Georgia seized contol early in the fourth 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 national title. The Bulldogs’ fourth-round score of 290 was six shots better than any other team 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 Bulldogs finished among the top 18 individuals, with Rankin tying for 10th at 292, Henderson and Jerman both tying for 13th at 294 and Sirmons tied for 18th at 296.
