2017-18 Outlook Chris Haack is entering his 22nd season as the head coach of the Georgia men’s golf team. On the eve of that campaign, he answered several questions about his program. Another season is about to get under way. What are your expectations for the 2017-18 squad? “Our expectations have not changed. We want to be competitive each and every week, and we want to challenge for Southeastern Conference and NCAA championships. If we put in the work and maintain our focus, there is no reason we should not reach our goals. The talent is there to succeed. Yes, we’re pretty young, but we’ll never use that as an excuse. We’ve had freshmen and sophomores in the lineup, leading the way in fact, on our championship teams, so it can be done. Away from golf, I want us to be successful in the classroom and difference makers in the community. There are responsibilities that come with being a student-athlete at UGA. Our guys not only know that, but they embrace that.” Your only senior is Zach Healy, who enters the season with more than 80 competitive rounds under his belt. “You cannot discount his experience and his knowledge of our program. Zach, as a senior, is by default a leader. He needs to set the tone with the way he practices and the way he plays. He knows how we want to do things and what it takes to be successful. He has won a college tournament, which is not easy to do, and he’s been part of several winning lineups. Having him in the lineup and having his experience in there is critical to our success.” The junior class features two redshirt juniors in Matthew Beringer and Jack Larkin Jr., along with true juniors David Mackey and Tye Waller. What can we expect from them? “Beringer and Larkin came in with Healy, so we recognize them as seniors, as veterans who can lead on and off the golf course. Jack’s going to be our team captain this year, and it’s a job he can handle because of his maturity. Matthew is an extremely mature guy as well and the other players really look up to him. We need them to help Healy at the top encourage and inspire our younger players. Mackey and Waller are a couple of old-timers as well. They’ve battled through some injuries, but when they’re in the lineup, we know they’ll give us everything they’ve got. These four guys play an integral role on our team. We have high expectations for them.” The sophomore class of Will Chandler, Trevor Phillips and Spencer Ralston combined for 66 rounds as rookies a year ago. How critical was that? “It was extremely important. They got that ‘baptism by fire’ that freshmen sometimes get. We got a good look at their potential and they turned in some pretty solid efforts. The key now is, can they take that next step? Can they play even more for us and perform even better? I have no doubt that they can. Will, Trevor and Spencer are talented players; that’s why we signed them. They’re hard workers and they’ve shown improvement.” Your freshman class is made up of John Hilliard Catanza-

ro, Bo Sikes and Davis Thompson. What do they bring to the table? “They remind me of last year’s freshmen -- very talented, great potential, bright futures. Bo and Davis have family connections to UGA, so they’re steeped in our traditions and know what it means to be a Bulldog. Catanzaro was a late pickup at the end of the summer and we were thrilled to add him. Their responsibility is to work hard in the classroom and on the golf course and make themselves the best they can be. We’re going to be pushing them because we know the sky’s the limit for these guys.” What are your thoughts on your schedule? “The SEC is going to have about half of its teams in the rankings again and we’re going to be facing them every week, not to mention the other national powers that will show up on our schedule. We’re going to see strong fields every week. Every time we get out there, we’re going to have teams from the top 20 around us. Once we get to the SECs in April and the NCAAs in May, we will have been battled tested. Our guys are lucky to have these opportunities and we don’t take them for granted.” Later this year, you will open the newly renovated Boyd Golf Center. How will the new digs impact the program? “We’re proud of our program. We’ve done a lot of things on the state, conference and national levels. We’ve got more SEC championships than any other program. The Boyd Center renovations will give us a chance to really showcase those accomplishments for our current players to soak in as well as for recruits and for visitors. I’ve had people tell me, ‘I didn’t know Bubba Watson played here.’ Well, in the Boyd Center, we’ll be able to show off what he and all of the other stars did while they were here and what they’ve done in the professional ranks. We’re gaining some much-needed space for our players in terms of locker rooms and storage space. Our temporary trailers next to the construction haven’t been so bad and they’ve given us a chance to watch the construction each and every day. We can’t wait to get in there.”

Coaching Staff

Chris Haack Head Coach/Director Of Golf 22nd Season Chris Haack was named the Georgia men’s golf coach on July 18,1996 – and he has taken to Bulldogs to a new level of success. Haack has guided the Bulldogs to two national championships (the only two in school history), eight Southeastern Conference crowns, 60 team tournament titles, and several squad and individual records. Under Haack, the Bulldogs have had nine top-10 and 16 top-20 efforts at the NCAAs, including the 1999 and 2005 national titles and runner-up efforts in 2007 and 2011. Haack has produced 60 All-Americans,including Greyson Sigg in 2017. He also has coached 14 Scholar All-Americans, with Jaime Lopez Rivarola claiming the honor in both 2016 and 2017. In 2015-16, Haack led the Bulldogs to four team titles, including the 29th SEC Championship in school history and the Tuscaloosa Regional to qualify for the NCAAs. Haack pupils Sigg (3), Lee McCoy (2) and Zach Healy (1) all claimed medalist honors. After leading the Bulldogs to the conference title, Haack was chosen as the SEC Coach of the Year for the fifth time in his career. McCoy was picked as the SEC Golfer of the Year after claiming conference medalist honors, while Sigg joined McCoy as a First-Team All-SEC performer and Healy and Sepp Straka made the Second Team. Bubba Watson, an All-American for Haack in 2000, represented the United States in the 2016 Olympics in Rio. In 2012, Watson became the first Bulldog to win a professional major as he captured the Masters title. In 2014, Watson won the Masters again, made the U.S. Ryder Cup Team and was one of an unprecedented six Bulldogs (joining Brian Harman, Harris English, Russell

Henley, Chris Kirk and Brendon Todd) to win a PGA Tour event. In 2012, Haack added the position of Director of Golf. He serves as the liaison between the Athletic Association and the UGA Golf Course, oversees the Boyd Center and the adjacent practice facilities, and is available as counsel to women’s coach Josh Brewer. Haack was inducted into the GCAA Hall of Fame in December of 2012, joining Georgia predecessors Howell Hollis and Dick Copas. Haack was inducted into the GSGA’s Georgia Golf Hall of Fame in 2016. He will be inducted into the State of Georgia Sports Hall of Fame in 2018. In 2014-15, Haack led the Bulldogs to three victories, then piloted the squad to the “Final Fore” in the NCAA Championships. McCoy was a FirstTeam All-America and All-SEC pick after claiming medalist honors a school-record-tying four times and Healy was an

Coaching Staff Honorable Mention All-American. Haack’s 2013-14 Bulldogs won four times, including the NCAA Regional in San Antonio. Haack’s charges picked up two titles in 2012-13, winning the Brickyard Collegiate Championship and the Bulldog Battle at Mountain Lake. In 2011-12, Haack guided a quintet of one junior, three sophomores and one freshman to the NCAAs. Haack piloted the 2010-11 Bulldogs to the final match of the NCAAs. In 2009-10, Haack coached Henley to National and SEC Player of the Year honors. He also guided the Bulldogs to three wins, including the SEC Championship. In the Williams Intercollegiate, Haack’s squad made up a 15-shot deficit after two rounds to win by one shot – the largest rally in his tenure. The 2008-09 Bulldogs won five tournaments, including the SEC title. His Bulldogs finished No. 1 in the final Golfstat poll and came in third at the NCAAs. The 2007-08 Bulldogs finished the year with the No. 1 ranking. Haack’s team won three times and came in eighth at the NCAAs. In 2006-07, Georgia won five out of seven tournaments. Despite placing second at the NCAAs, Georgia held the final No. 1 ranking. In 2005-06, Haack led the Bulldogs to a school-record-tying six tournament wins and he was chosen as the SEC Coach of the Year. He was selected by the GCAA as the 2006 head coach for

the U.S. Palmer Cup Team. The Bulldogs won three tournaments in 2004-05 – including the most memorable one in the spring as Georgia capped the season with a wire-to-wire win at the NCAAs. Haack was chosen as the National Coach of the Year. Haack’s 2003-04 Bulldogs won the SEC title. In 2002-03, his Bulldogs cracked the win column at the Tennessee Tournament of Champions. Though his 2001-02 Bulldogs did not win a tournament, Haack was recognized as one of the nation’s top coaches as he was chosen as coach for Team USA for the Palmer Cup. Haack’s 2000-01 Bulldogs won six events, including a school-record four straight, and finished the season ranked No. 1 in the nation. Haack’s 1999-2000 Bulldogs won three tournaments and he earned SEC Coach of the Year honors. Haack’s breakthrough season with the Bulldogs came in 1998-99. No Georgia team had ever ascended to the No. 1 position in the polls, but Haack’s team did so early in the spring campaign. The Bulldogs later validated their ranking by winning the program’s first national championship. Haack was named National Coach of the Year. In 1997-98, Haack led Georgia to four wins, including its first SEC crown since 1988. Haack’s first Georgia squad in

1996-97 showed glimpses of what lay ahead as the youthful Bulldogs finished fourth or better in seven of 11 events and advanced to the NCAA Regional. Before being named Georgia’s coach, Haack was a driving force for the American Junior Golf Association. He joined the AJGA in 1981 as a tournament director before becoming director of operations in 1984 and director of development in 1985. He also served a seven-year stint as captain of the Canon Cup West Team, squads that included Tiger Woods and Chris Riley. In an initiative begun as foundation director from 1988-90, he also organized and established fund-raising programs to build surplus moneys for the AJGA’s perpetuity, bringing in more than $750,000 for the foundation and other junior programs. Haack served as assistant executive director from 1990-96, helping manage a staff of

Jim Douglas Associate Head Coach 17th Season Jim Douglas, who helped the Georgia men’s golf team win the program’s two national championships, rejoined the Bulldogs’ staff in January of 2011 and was promoted to Associate Head Coach in July of 2012. He is entering his 17th season overall with the Bulldogs. Douglas was Georgia’s assistant coach from 1997 through 2005, during which time the Bulldogs celebrated some of their

greatest success. With Douglas as Coach Chris Haack’s lieutenant, Georgia won NCAA titles in 1999 and 2005, along with four Southeastern Conference championships (1998, 2000, 2001 and 2004). Georgia produced 26 All-Americans, 30 All-SEC picks, two SEC Players of the Year, two SEC Freshmen of the Year, 33 SEC Academic Honor Roll selections, six All-American Scholars and an NCAA Postgraduate

22 and an annual budget of $2.5 million. He helped oversee the running of 38 events and 19 qualifiers nationwide.

He attended West Georgia College, where he played on the golf team, and he received his degree from Mellen. Haack is married to the former Ronda Livesay. His son Charlie and daughter Katie are Georgia graduates, and he has four step-daughters -- Kasi, Kassidy, Kaylee and Katie Beth. Scholarship recipient in that span. Douglas served parts of the 2009-10 season as a volunteer coach, including during Georgia’s run to the SEC title. In 2011, with Douglas assisting Haack in the spring, the Bulldogs advanced to the final match of the NCAA Championship. Douglas and Haack have guided the Bulldogs back to the NCAAs six of the last seven years, including 2015 when they made it to the “Final Fore.” In 2015, Douglas helped the Bulldogs win the 29th SEC title in school history. Lee McCoy was First-Team All-American, SEC Player of the Year and the SEC medalist. Greyson Sigg and Sepp Straka also earned All-America honors. Last season, Sigg claimed All-America status. Douglas graduated from UGA with a degrees in Political Science and History. He has two sons, James and Charles.

1999

Following the 1999 NCAA Championship in Chaska, Minn.: • The announcer called out the wrong school as the winner of the national title. • A torrential rainstorm hit the suburb of Minneapolis. • And a courtesy van provided to the actual champion was vandalized, presumably by a not-so-gracious loser. But the players and coaches from the Georgia men’s golf team couldn’t have cared less. All of that was a small price to pay for the program’s first national championship. “It’s an indescribable feeling,” said Coach Chris Haack, whose Georgia (not Washington, as the announcer said) squad secured the trophy. “All the hard work, all the sacrifice, all the time spent hitting balls, it’s worth it. I always wondered what it felt like when teams like UNLV and Oklahoma State won the national title. Now I know — and it’s a great feeling. I am so proud of our guys. A four-day tournament is a real grind, but they stayed focused and played good, steady golf all week. They really played like champions.” Especially on the last day. The Bulldogs entered the final round trailing Oklahoma State by five shots at Hazeltine National Golf Club. The players and coaches to a man said making up five shots was not a difficult proposition — and they were right. Georgia actually pulled ahead after just two holes and extended its lead throughout the rest of the front nine before holding on down the stretch to win by three. “We knew that we had to be patient on this course because so much can change so quickly,” Michael Morrison said. “You can’t take anything for granted.You have to play every shot as hard as the last one.You’ve got to play every hole to the best of your ability. I think we all did that.” Particularly Ryuji Imada. He paced the comeback effort with a 5-under par 67, one off the course record for Hazeltine. Imada finished at 1-under 287, second behind Northwestern’s Luke Donald (284). “It was one of the best 18 holes of golf I’ve ever seen,” said Haack, who sported a newly shaved bald head after the NCAAs as he made good on a pre-tournament promise. “Ryuji was spectacular. He certainly picked the

right time to turn it on. That could go down in history as one of the best final rounds at the NCAAs. The little man just put us on his back and took us to the title.” Imada had a shot at winning the medalist title down the stretch, but he said he focused more on the team crown. “The last thing I wanted to do was mess up and cost us the national championship,” Imada said. “I had a couple of chances to go at the flag, but I didn’t because it meant more for us as a team to win the national championship. I wanted to be aggressive, but I didn’t want to let the team down.” Imada finished the year as the nation’s third-ranked golfer, trailing only Donald and Georgia Tech’s Bryce Molder. “It’s the best feeling I’ve ever had. It’s unbelievable,” Nick Cassini said. “No matter what any of us do the rest of our lives in golf, we’ll be the 1999 national champions. It’s like a dream come true.”

2005

With Coach Chris Haack rubbing the lucky coin in his pocket, Georgia cashed in at the NCAA Championship. The Bulldogs went wire-to-wire as the tournament leader at Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, Md., finishing with an 11-shot advantage over instate rival Georgia Tech. Georgia fired an even-par 280 in the final round to wind up at 15-over 1,135. “I could not be prouder of this group of guys,” said Haack, who carried a coin given to him by his daughter, Katie, that had the inscription, “Dad, I Love You.” “I knew that we had the talent, the confidence and the demeanor to challenge for the championship this year,” Haack continued. “It’s been a good year, but we only had two wins coming in. I knew if they all put it together, it would be special. They just happened to do it this week when it meant the most.” “It’s awesome to go out like this,” said David Denham, the only senior in the Bulldogs’ lineup. “You live for moments like this. Every team strives to win the national championship, but not too many of them do it.” “This is what you play for,” Richard Scott said. “This is what this team was put together for. It’s great to go out and win other tournaments, but this is the one we all play for.” “This is the biggest one,” team captain Kevin Kisner said. “This is what you set your goals for. This is why we all came to Georgia. We’ve got too solid of a team not to win tournaments. When we all play well, it’s hard for us to lose.” The Bulldogs entered the final round with a 9-shot lead over the Yellow Jackets, and they knew it would hard to give that kind of lead away. Still, when Brendon Todd’s putt rolled in on No. 18, the players and coaches were

all at once relieved and ecstatic. “This is the ultimate feeling,” Chris Kirk said. “It’s awesome. It’s a great group of guys, and I have loved playing with them the last two years.” “It feels great,” Todd said. “It’s probably the biggest accomplishment any of us have in golf. It’s just incredible to win the national championship.” Todd wound up as the Bulldogs’ top individual at 3-over 283, followed by Kirk and Kisner at 5-over 285, Scott at 6-over 286 and Denham at 8-over 288. Todd finished seventh, and Kirk and Kisner were in the group that tied for 13th. Scott had a top-20 finish as he wound up 16th.

Southeastern Conference The Georgia men’s golf program has produced 29 Southeastern Conference championships. That is more than any other league school and the most of any athletic team at Georgia. As the accompanying chart shows, the Bulldogs have had success in several decades, including the 1950s and the 1960s when they won six in each. Under Coach Chris Haack, the Bulldogs have won eight titles, including seven in the 2000s.

Georgia History

Georgia History NCAA Results

George Hamer, who was nicknamed “The Georgia Pine” because of his height, is still the only Bulldog to win the NCAA title (then known as the National Intercollegiates). He also won the Southeastern Amateur three times and the Georgia State Open and the Southern Amateur titles once apiece.

In the spring of 1924, a handful of Georgia students formed what was the university’s first-ever golf team. In those days, the team did not have coaches; rather, one of the players served as captain and made the decisions that guided the squad. Some of the first captains for the Bulldogs were Harris Jones, John Grant, Billy Oliver and Hugh Nunnally. The Bulldogs’ first coach came on board

in 1930 as Murray Soule took the position. He was succeeded by J.M. McFadden (1933-35), who passed the torch to R.L. Keener (1935-42). Keener led the Bulldogs to their first-ever SEC championship in 1941. Because of World War II, the Bulldogs disbanded for the next few years. Howell Hollis was named coach in 1946 and began to lay the foundation for the program. Serving from 1946 through 1970,

Bulldogs also played primarily dual matches, posting a mark of 268-57-8. Hamer, who was nicknamed “The Georgia Pine” because of his height, is still the only Bulldog to win the NCAA title (then known as the National Intercollegiates). He also won the Southeastern Amateur three times and the Georgia State Open and the Southern Amateur titles once apiece. Hollis was able to attract some of the game’s best players to Athens during his tenure, including David Boyd, Jimmy Gabrielsen,Vinny Giles and Danny Yates. Hollis stepped down following the 1970 season and he was succeeded by Dick Copas, a member of the UGA staff as an academic counselor and dorm director. Copas maintained the level of success that Hollis had begun as he guided the Bulldogs from 1971-96 to 17 NCAAs, including 10 top-10s, and seven SEC titles. Sixty-one of his protégés won All-SEC honors, while 31 were tabbed as All-Americans. Copas himself was named National Coach of the Year in 1978 and the SEC Coach of the Year seven times. Copas coached some of the most decorated players in Georgia history, including Peter Persons, Chip Beck, Griff Moody, Matt Peterson, Paul Claxton and Franklin Langham. Chris Haack stepped from the ranks of the American Junior Golf Association to assume the reins of the Georgia program after Copas. In just his third year on the job, Haack guided the 1999 Bulldogs to the program’s first national championship and he was named the National Coach of the Year. He then guided the 2005 Bulldogs to the national championship and again was chosen as the National Coach of the Year. To date, Haack also has guided the Bulldogs to eight more SEC titles – giving Georgia a league-high 29 crowns. Under Haack, Georgia has set school marks for lowest team total in a tournament and a round as well as lowest mark by an individual. Sixty of his players have been tabbed as All-Americans, while 64 of Haack’s players have been chosen All-SEC, including Players of the Year Jeremy Parrott (1998), Nick Cassini (2001), Kirk (2006), Russell Henley (2010) and Lee McCoy (2016).
