2010 Outlook
Taking a Look at the Nittany Lions xciting additions are on the horizon for the Penn state men’s golf team as a new decade arrives. e anticipated completion of the new golf Varsity Center has the program eager to move into their new home. After a successful conclusion to the 2009 spring season, both returning players and three outstanding newcomers sand were ready to showcase their improvements. in its fall season opener Penn state traveled to Zionsville, ind., for the Wolf run intercollegiate. An injury to sophomore Nick Archambault on the morning of departure made for some last minute adjustments and an opportunity for freshman newcomer ernie Marin to make his debut. “i thought, considering the last minute injury adjustment we were forced to make, we competed pretty well.” said head coach Greg Nye. e Nittany Lions were among a 17-team field including five Big ten schools competing at the fall premier tournament at the Wolf run Golf Club. e Lions shot rounds of 292-292-298 to finish in eighth. in the second tournament of the fall season, the VCU shootout, brought familiar territory for the Lions. t.J. Howe’s fourth place finish and 68 second-round score fired up the Lions’ performance as they battled back from behind and finished tied for fourth. “e team battled back from the tail end of the field to a very respectable fourth-place finish,” said Nye. “e guys showed great heart.” e third annual Brickyard intercollegiate began the southern tournament tour for the Lions landing them in Macon, Georgia. “e Brickyard is one of the finest events and fields that we play in.” said Nye. With heavy rainfall and unforgiving weather, the third round of the tournament was cancelled, leaving the results from rounds one and two to determine the tournament champions. e familiar territory proved to be helpful for Kevin foley as he finished tied for fifth, gripping his 12th top 10 finish of his Lion career. e team did not fair nearly as well, finishing towards the bottom of this outstanding field. With only a short week at home, Penn state jumped back on a plane, this time in the direction of Memphis, tenn. for its fourth appearance at the sixth annual Memphis intercollegiate. foley proved once again that he was a strong contender, placing seventh, tallying his 13th top 10 finish against some heavy competitors. “over the last two weeks, Kevin’s play continued to demonstrate why he is amongst the country’s best players,” said Nye. Halloween marked the start to the final episode of the fall season for the Lions. ey traveled to fort Myers, fla., for their first appearance in the renaissance intercollegiate. e Nittany Lions needed to rebound from two consecutive tough outings and finish the fall with a quality result. ey did just that by playing outstanding golf, firing a team score of 30-under par. e Lions finished a close second to the tournament champion in this 12team field. “ese guys deserve a lot of credit; they were very resilient in the face of adversity,” said Nye. “We needed a great finish down there. We got behind after one round and these guys just decided enough was enough and went out and took it deep in the last two rounds. ey showed great fight,” said Nye. foley’s final-round score of 65 tied his all-time low score and his finalscore of 202 tied the third-best 54-hole score, set in 1998 by Matt Abbott, in Penn state golf history. e successful conclusion to the fall season set the Lions up for strength training and conditioning through the winter until action starts up again at the second annual Big ten Match Play tournament in ft. Lauderdale, fla.
e
“fnishing the fall with our best performance we can’t wait to get to the next event. Having it in ft. Lauderdale in february only makes us more eager to get going,” said Nye. Going into the spring, Nye will look upon the experienced upperclassmen to kick start the spring and to the freshmen to continue to contribute. “e freshmen got pretty involved this fall, got their feet wet starting, and i would have to think they learn a good deal about college golf. ” said Nye. e 2010 season will welcome the Nittany Lions with some familiar tournaments and competition as well as some new elements. e second annual Big ten Match play will, for the second year in a row, be the premier for the spring season for all Big ten teams. e Heron Bay Golf Club in ft. Lauderdale, fla., will welcome 11 teams, as they will get a chance to compete in match play golf in preparation for NCAAs. When asked about goals for this upcoming season Nye responded, “simply we want to get back to playing the way we are capable, and beating some higher ranked teams.” e Pinehurst intercollegiate has proven to be a favorite for the Lions as they have rewritten the record books in the previous year and have taken home the trophy with outstanding golf. Penn state now holds the low 54hole team total record with 852 as well as the low final round score of 279. en-junior t.J. Howe took home the individual championship, marking his first, first-place victory in his Lion career. His third-round score of 67 marked his personal best as well as tied the low round and low final round record of the tournament. e Lions will return to south florida for the third time in this year’s schedule to compete in the florida Atlantic University invitational. e field will feature a full hand of Big ten universities, as well as other outstanding programs. is will be Penn state’s first time competing in the late March, three day event. April is a busy month for Penn state as they return to Columbus, ohio, for the Kepler intercollegiate. e famed scarlet Course has been the sight of some outstanding performances by the Lions. Most recently the Lions advanced to the 2008 National Championship with outstanding play in the NCAA regional. Penn state will also be preparing to host the 34th annual rutherford intercollegiate at the Penn state Blue Course. due to hosting the 2009 Big ten Championship, last year’s spring rutherford took a year off, and the Lions will once again complete their regular season hosting historic championship at the Blue. With only one week to transition, the Lions will make a late spring trip to Minnesota for the Big ten Championships. e conference championship will be contested at Wind song farms Golf Club, an outstanding golf course that will be hosting its first Big ten. in closing out the 2010 season, the Penn state men and women’s golf teams are looking forward to the new Varsity Golf Center that is to be completed in May. e much-anticipated facility has continued to take shape over the past months and promises to showcase a mix of Penn state pride and state-of-the-art golf. Coach Nye is quick to credit those who helped make this outstanding facility a reality saying, “anks to several generous gifts from alumni and friends of Penn state, we anxiously look forward to moving into the new home of Penn state golf.” e home for coaches offices, team locker rooms, a team lounge, heated hitting bays, and audio visual training, has been years in the making with each detail serving a purpose to improve the overall experience that is the future of Penn state golf.

the Nittany Lions traveled south to Macon, Ga. in their first appearance of the second annual Brickyard Collegiate Golf Championship, hosted by Mercer University. the 54-hole tournament was held at the Brickyard at riverside Course spanning 7,128 yards with difficulty at a par 70. the Nittany Lions finished in sixth place in this 15-team field posting scores of 297-298-295 (877); finishing at 37-over par. Georgia claimed the first place title with a 19-over par finish. three of the top five teams in the tournament all appeared in top 10 positions of the Nike Coaches Poll. “this marks the third straight week we have played against the highest level of division i competition,” said Greg Nye. “this time we played solid all the way through the event and brought home a few significant wins. to be able to go south and play outstanding southern teams on their grass, and hang in there, was pretty satisfying.” freshman Nick Archambault and junior Kevin foley led the Lions tying for 17th place at 8-over par (218). Archambault sat in first place after the second round of the tournament with two consecutive even-par days. Archambault posted rounds of 70-70-78 (218). foley played consistently throughout the tournament with rounds of 73-71-74 (218).
in their final tournament of the fall season, the Nittany Lions finished at the top of their game. the Nittany Lions took the title at the Lehigh invitational in the eight-team field by an enormous 32-shot margin. the tournament was hosted by Lehigh University at saucon Valley Country Club on the Weyhill Course, site of several past and upcoming UsGA events. “i thought our guys played exceptionally well over the last 14 holes in the first round,” said Nye. “As a team we played even-par golf through all types of rain and wind, on a very challenging golf course. We won by a significant margin, and most of that margin happened through that tough weather section. the guys could not have scored that well if they were not focused late in the fall practices, and i give these guys a lot of credit for being up to the challenge.” Junior Kevin foley took home his first tournament title of the season with a 4-under par two-round total (140) to secure first place. foley led the tournament in both rounds posting a 2-under par (70). “Kevin played an incredible round on saturday in the poor conditions, and then followed it up with a very solid final round,” said Nye.

Host to the 2009 Men’s Golf Championships, Penn state, showed that they were a team to be reckoned with in the conference. Penn state’s Blue Course held up exceptionally as 11 teams competed for postseason spots at regional tournaments.
After a valiant effort by the Nittany Lions and an 11-shot improvement from round two, Penn state finished in 10th place at the Northeast regional tournament. Penn state rallied after a tough first round but was 20 shots shy of the top five teams who would advance to the 2009 NCAA finals.
Junior Kevin foley had spectators on the edge of their seats, with first and second place riding on the line down to his very last put. foley wrapped up the four-round tournament in second place, the best placement in Nittany Lion history in a Big ten Championship.
"With nearly all of our starters returning, we talked about playing well in the last two rounds and using the NCAA regional stage as preparation for next year," said head coach Greg Nye. "i think we gained from our efforts over the final two rounds of this tournament."
the fighting illini took the team championship while Penn state tied for fourth place, jumping two spots with the conclusion of the final hole. Penn state's fourth place position is recorded as the second best Big ten finish in program history and best since the Nittany Lions' third place spot in 2000. Penn state carded four rounds of 290-296-296-288 (1170) to finish at 34-over par, three strokes back from top honors. the Nittany Lions battled with the Buckeyes in the final round to eventually end in a tie. illinois took the championship title after a 21-year hiatus, finishing at 13-over par with rounds of 292-288-284-285 (1149).
ranked No. 20 in the nation, foley played his best round of the weekend in the final 18 holes, carding three birdies to finish at 1-under par (70). the first-team All-Big ten selection carded rounds of 82-71-70 (223); finishing at 10-over par. foley was just 11 strokes back from the tournament champion, Hunter Hamrick of Alabama. "the challenge we faced this year was to replace two highly productive seniors with brand new guys, and remain competitive," said Nye. "A tall task but we were competitive most of our events, winning at Pinehurst and we did earn our way into the NCAA. overall, it was a satisfying year."
foley played exceptional golf all weekend to finish in second place, his 10th top-10 performance of his Lion career. foley finished all four rounds trailing the leader eric Chun of Northwestern by just one stroke. His consistent play got him All-Championship team honors and a solid shot at All-Conference team. senior Chad Bricker concluded his last Big ten Championship with some of his best golf. Bricker jumped eight positions to finish at No. 13, carding rounds of 71-79-71-71 (292) to conclude at 8-over par.

Adam decker (1997), Matt Abbott (2001), Mark Leon (2004), and foley (2008/09). "our program has grown on the national scene as we watched our rankings consistently stay in the top 25 percent of all division i golf programs," Nye said. "We have challenged ourselves with our schedule and the quality of our play has moved right along with that challenge."
in April 2007, Nye marked a personal achievement while the Nittany Lions celebrated their victory at the Marshall invitational, beating the next best team by 12 strokes. the championship, won on a cool snowy weekend at the Guyan Golf and Country Club, was the 50th of Nye's coaching career. His career coaching win total now stands at 56. in his first two years, Nye's teams set two Penn state records for the number of championships earned in a season, with six in 1992-93 and eight in 1993-94, a mark that was tied by the 1996-97 squad.

Additionally, during dunlap's first season, the men's golf team finished first in team G.P.A. out of all the Penn state men's teams. dunlap handles a large share of recruiting evaluations, correspondence and visits, is involved heavily in team practice, player development and coaching during events. Additionally he co-directs Penn state’s annual home event, the rutherford intercollegiate. “Coach dunlap is involved with nearly every aspect of our program here at Penn state. He has and brings a high level of energy to the team every day, and consistently guides our student athletes through the expectations we as a staff have set forth for our program,” said Nye. Before arriving at Penn state, dunlap was the Head Coach at Kennesaw state University (GA) for four seasons.
during his tenure at Kennesaw state, dunlap helped the owls to a program best, 7th place finish at the 2002 NCAA division ii National Championship and 2nd place finish at the 2002 Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Championship. He coached three GCAA All-Americans, two Academic All-Americans, one PBC All-Conference selection, two GCAA PiNG Allregion selections and four PBC Presidential Honor roll Honorees. Under dunlap’s guidance, Kennesaw won three tournament titles while four different owls claimed individual titles. Additionally, dunlap spent one season as the assistant coach during the 2000-01 season. While at Kennesaw state, dunlap continued to play competitively as a professional in Georgia PGA events and worked as the first assistant golf professional and director of the Junior golf program at the BridgeMill Athletic Club. dunlap, a native of toronto, Canada played collegiately at Coker College (sC) and Kennesaw state University (GA). After graduation, dunlap continued playing competitively as an amateur. some of his amateur highlights include the 1999 Canadian Amateur and Monday qualifying for the Canadian tour’s ontario open in 2000. A graduate of Kennesaw state in May 2001, dunlap also completed his Master’s degree in Business Administration during his first two seasons as head coach in June of 2003.
“Having the opportunity to work at one of the most respected Universities in the nation that carries strong values, and to work directly with Coach Nye, who has built upon the rich history of Penn State golf, makes it exciting for me to keep trying to push PSU golf to new heights.” - Coach Dunlap

Michael Carter Legacy iN MeMoriAM MiKe CArter’s LeGACY LiVes oN WitH tree ANd sCHoLArsHiP the Penn state golf family is still healing from the loss of Mike Carter — the spunky and colorful sophomore player from Westfield, N.J. who passed away on february 13, 2002. Carter, who was known around the course and across campus for his upbeat attitude and engaging personality, was returning home when his car lost control and went off the roadway. Penn state was devastated and the Nittany Lion’s golf family mourned and remembered their fallen teammate with unity and grace. the men’s team wore pink pants as a tribute to Carter at the 2002 rutherford invitational, the Big ten Championships and the NCAA east regional. “He was a very bright light on our team and we will always remember how he lived each day to the fullest,” said Coach Nye. to ensure that the memory of Mike Carter lives on in perpetuity, the Penn state golf family and the Carter family have taken two significant measures. in the spring of 2002, the Penn state team and coaches planted a red maple tree near the 18th hole on the home Blue Course in state College, Pa. and dedicated it, with a plaque, to Mike Carter. in 2003, Michael and Mary Lou Carter endowed a grant in the name of their son to be awarded annually to the golf program.
flowers and a pictorial were placed in memoriam at the Penn state Golf Course Club House. As a tribute to Michael, the 2002 men’s golf team wore Carter’s signature pink pants at the rutherford invitational and in post-season play.

Nittany Lions On Tour PeNN stAters oN toUrs & At tHe oPeN Penn State has long been a teeing ground for which graduates use to begin their professional careers. several alumni are or have pursued their dream of playing professional golf.
Matt abbott, a 2001 graduate has seen great success since 2007 on the Gateway tour and Minor League tour. on the Gateway tour he as earned over $91,000 and made 32 of 40 cuts in the last two seasons. on the Minor League tour, Abbott has earned numerous victories and over $20,000 in earnings. 2005 Alum Mark Leon earned Canadian tour exempt status in the fall of 2007.

Ninth in East Regional, Nittany Lions Appear In 1996 NCAA Finals
following a solid regular season that included three tournament titles, the Nittany Lions peaked at the end of the 1996 spring term. After finishing second at the eastern Championships and sixth at the Big ten Championships, Penn state surged at the NCAA east regional, which was played on the Monster Course at the Concord resort in Kiamesha Lake, N.Y. facing the best teams in eastern golf, the Nittany Lions came off the tee box with first round ferocity, finishing in a five-way tie for seventh place after an opening round 310. senior Adam decker (left) led with a two-over 74. in the second round, Penn state improved its team score by six strokes, but fell into a three-way tie for 15th — below the cut line that qualified the top 11 teams for the NCAA finals. decker fired a 71 to keep the Lions in contention. in the final round, the Nittany Lions ripped apart the Concord course, making shot after pivotal shot in a miraculous run that ended with a 296 — the third-best score of the day — to tie for ninth place and a berth in the NCAA finals. Byron Clift (right), a junior, led the Lions with a final round 72. decker shot a 74 to tie for second place on the individual leaderboard with a total 219, a monumental achievement for the senior, who came to the squad as a freshman walk-on. seniors dirk Ayers and Mike Banzhoff and sophomore Joey Chuasiriporn all finished with 75 for the final round and the threeround team total of 910 tied with tennessee and Alabama.

the Lions’ berth in the finals was not only monumental for Penn state, but for the entire eastern region as the Lions became the first team in the relatively short history of both districts i and ii to reach the finals. for the first time since 1987, Penn state headed to the NCAA finals, held in 1996 at the challenging Honors Course in Chattanooga, tenn. Penn state played well, but failed to make the team cut after two rounds. Ayers led Penn state individually, making the individual cut and finishing in a tie for 47th place overall after an opening round 71. Penn state placed 29th overall as a team, which at the time was the top finish of any Big ten team at the finals.

“Mark Leon golfed brilliantly throughout the NCAA Finals as all facets of his game were at a high level. Making the cut was a terrific achievement and very exciting for us as a team. I’m very proud we backed up our second place finish at the Regionals with a strong showing in the Finals.” - Penn State coach Greg Nye
inding a more complete set of on-campus golf facilities that surpass what Penn state has to offer is pretty difficult. With two 18-hole courses and an array of practice facilities, it's easy to see why Penn state golfers have the opportunity to develop their games. Penn state sits at the center of what may be the finest group of golf courses near any campus. the University's Blue and White Courses, toftrees resort, Centre Hills Country Club, and elks Country Club are conveniently situated within 10 minutes of campus. Coach Nye relates, "Although we play the bulk of our rounds at the University, being able to practice on other courses that match up well with upcoming sites really helps our overall preparation. Having all of the golf courses we play so close to campus helps our student-athletes manage their time with relative ease." Penn state’s Blue and White courses have recently undergone renovation with the majority of the changes occurring on the Blue. Penn state has added approximately 600 yards to the Blue Course bringing the total yardage to approximately 7,150 yards. Additionally, the championship course is underwent a major redesign on the 7th & 8th holes. to stiffen the overall challenge, 20-plus strategic bunkers were placed in the layout as well as three new water hazards. the Big ten Conference is well known for the outstanding caliber of its university-owned golf courses and with these updates and improvements, the Penn state Blue will sit proudly in that group. this is the first renovation/redesign to the course since 1994. the Blue Course has hosted over 20 rutherford invitationals, the 1995 Northern intercollegiate, the 2009 Big ten Championship and the Pennsylvania High school Championship from 1982-2001. the PGA Junior series as well as the fCWt annually host events at the Blue Course giving junior golfers an opportunity to see the Nittany Lion facilities. the White Course provides a challenging alternative to the newer Blue Course. With holes dating back to 1922, the shorter White Course will test even the most skilled player. the older course provides smaller crowned greens adding to the character and demanding a creative short game. the sculpted bunkering that was done in the 20’s has been photographed and studied by some of today’s top architects. the practice areas used by the Nittany Lions also have also recently been updated. the ample grass range located at the opposite end of the public range was expanded to provide an area for the Lions to practice just about any shot in the bag. the area has three tiered blue grass practice areas, two ample fairway bunkers adjacent to the tee, as well as a rolling fairway for players to work on un-even lies. A small pitching green and bunker were also put into place with the undulated fairway. the undulated fairway brings a unique quality to Penn state’s practice opportunities. the newest practice area for the Nittany Lions is a quiet two acre Varsity short-game Practice Center constructed behind the 14th green. two large greens were built with several bunkers, level and un-level lies, up-hill & down-hill shots, and two different practice fairways of 50 and 100 yards. one green is used for non-impact shots like putting and chipping, and the second, with the two connected fairways, is for pitching, bunker play, and all types of creative short-game shots.

”Although we play the bulk of our rounds at the University, being able to practice on other courses that match up well with upcoming sites really helps our overall preparation. Having all of the golf courses we play so close to campus helps our student-athletes manage their time with relative ease.” – Penn state Head Coach Greg Nye
“one positive throughout the last tournament was my short game. i’m not really surprised, because i spent three days before the event practicing at Penn state’s new short game area. it’s easily the best facility i have ever. used, as you are able to play any shot you want from inside 100 yards, to firm greens that run at about a 10 on the stimp.” – former Nittany Lion, Mark Leon
Short-game the Penn state Varsity short-Game Center which opened in August 2007 is a private two-plus acre area located behind the 14th green of the Penn state Blue Course, about 265 yards from the new Varsity Clubhouse. the multi-faceted area has a 13,000-plus square foot chipping and putting green, as well as a 10,000-plus square foot “impact” green attached to two contoured fairways of 50 and 110 yards. the “impact” green is surrounded by a fairway bunker at 35 yards and three styles of greenside bunkers. the fairways and greens are seeded with bent grass and are surrounded by blue grass and rye rough. the rolling terrain gives an opportunity for the Nittany Lions to practice a multitude of shots that they may face in competition from a variety of lies and elevations. “the short-game practice area is a dream come true facility,” said head coach Greg Nye. “i see this area as a virtual playground for our players as they build their short game fundamentals, touch, and creative shot making skills daily in practice.” Range the Penn state Varsity range Practice Area is an ample grass range located at the opposite end of the public range. this private golf team area is newly expanded and now includes four tiers of teeing ground, two fairway bunkers and an undulated fairway with a small pitch green and bunker. this slightly elevated practice area allows players to shoot at a variety of measured targets and see the ball land, thus providing instant feedback in evaluating shot distances. “We developed an area where our players not only have outstanding bent grass surface to practice from, but an area where they can develop their fairway bunker game, and uneven lie adjustments,” Nye said. “Like the short game area, the range area we have created is about variety and play simulation opportunities“
The New Penn State Varsity Golf Center
he construction for the newest facility, a Varsity Golf Center exclusively for the Nittany Lions, is underway and rapidly coming together to be completed by May 2010. the Center is located near the 18th green of our Blue golf course, sited centrally to all of our golf team practice areas, the Walker Clubhouse, as well as the first tees of both the White and Blue golf courses. this center for Penn state varsity golf will have four coaches’ offices, a history display area, locker rooms, club storage, a team lounge and porch, a study and communication center, a V-1 video and practice room with indoor-to-net and indoor to outdoor hitting bays.
t
“thanks to several generous gifts from alumni and friends of Penn state, we anxiously look forward to moving into the new home of Penn state golf,” said head coach Greg Nye. “our student athletes will now have a home in which they can communicate with their coaches and teammates all in one common space. they will have an opportunity to not only store their clubs and enjoy their own personal lockers, but to relax in the team lounge in front of a fire places and big screen tV. our guys will have access to the best video and training opportunities, and ability to practice all winter with the addition of the indoor-to-outdoor hitting bays. Bringing our program together in this special building, centrally located within our on campus golf facilities gives us a wonderful opportunity to maximize all of our golf facilities, and each other.”
During the winter months, the golf team takes up residence in spacious Holuba Hall. Within the 118,000-square-foot artificial turf practice area, players can work on the fine points of their entire game. With a ceiling height of 75 feet, they can use every club in the bag and observe their full flight with the use of low compression “Cayman” golf balls. these are the same golf balls that were used at the PGA’s 2000 teaching & Coaching summit. the field is brand new field turf with imitation grass and subsurface. Nye notes, “We feel very fortunate to have such an outstanding facility for winter practice. the vastness of our facility allows us to study full flight shots and make error correction. We also wedge or pitch shots with the outdoor ball up to about 90 yards. All these shots are much more real when hit from our new indoor surface.”
the Strength and conditioning facilities used by the Nittany Lion golfers are located in recreation Hall. the “rec Hall” strength and conditioning room is equipped with state of the art equipment. strength and Conditioning Coach Kirk Adams states, “the Penn state Men’s Golf strength and Conditioning program is designed to maximize the sport specific abilities necessary to compete at the highest levels of intercollegiate golf and prepare our players for a career after graduation. the workouts are programmed to maximize the strengths and address the weaknesses of each player as an individual, with safety and injury prevention as the paramount consideration in exercise selec-

Penn State Golf History former Penn state Athletic director Hugo Bezdek, hired in 1918, wanted the University to have better golf facilities and eventually a varsity team. in 1921, with public school money and a dream in his bag, Bezdek lured Golf Professional robert B. rutherford sr., from New Britain, Ct to oversee the change from a nine-hole course to an 18-hole championship course. Bezdek and rutherford hired Willie Park Jr., an internationally known figure in the golfing world, and had designed some of the best courses in both the United states and europe. Park, a native of Musselburgh, scotland won the British open in 1887 and 1889.
Willie Parks was the designer and creator of the first Penn state golf course
he first golf holes were laid out on the Penn state campus in the late 1800’s. the game became more and more popular and eventually became a 9-hole course in 1901. Known as the Golf Club of state College, the club became so popular that fifty percent of the faculty and students played the game. the possible location of this routing existed near the current location of Pollock Hall with some claiming that the location was closer to the present location of Beaver stadium.
t
in december of 1908, a new club was proposed and the generous support of Mr. H. Walton Mitchell, a strong alumnus and faithful alumni trustee, and other owners leased land known as the dale farm at a reduced rate for the purpose of a new club. the land was maintained by the course caretaker who lived in the farmhouse with their family and not only maintained the course with a flock of sheep but also would earn part pay from the produce he could raise off the land not occupied by the links. it is believed that the area of land is where parts of the current White Course are located today.
the annual college championship was a popular event that was contested each fall on the college links. in 1922, rutherford, nicknamed “Pop”, was named Head Coach and organized the first men’s golf team at Penn state. it was from the college championship that rutherford would form the first varsity team. the team members were: J.W. Crookston (Captain), f.e. dale, t.f. Connell, J.L. Bair, and C.M. Andrews (Manager). the first match in Penn state varsity golf history was played on the new campus course on May 26, 1922. the Nittany Lion golfers were defeated by the University of Pennsylvania in their intercollegiate debut by a score of four to three. Had the Lions defeated Penn, they likely would have been invited to the intercollegiates (National Championship). in 1923, intercollegiate golf began to take shape. Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Cornell, dartmouth, Columbia, Penn, and Williams developed plans to form a golf league. With the steady growth and interest in golf at Penn state, it was only a matter of time before Penn state joined. each team in the league was to play matches and

the team with the best record was declared the champion. With the 1923 Nittany Lion schedule finalized, word was received in April that Penn state had been admitted to the intercollegiate Golf League. Penn state would begin league play in 1924. the 1923 schedule included matches against Princeton, Lock Haven CC, Penn, and Pittsburgh. the Lions would finish their second season of intercollegiate golf with a 6-1 record and were invited to the intercollegiates where they went on to finish in 8th place. the first undefeated season in school history occurred in 1927. that year, Penn state went 5-0-1. the Lions proved to always be a challenge on the links during Pop’s years. the Lions only had three losing seasons from 1927 to 1942.
Penn State Golf History
Penn state golf began in 1922 with its first official collegiate schedule. from 1927 to 1942, the Nittany Lions only had three losing seasons.
the War Years through the Mid-Fifties With the major developments of World War ii in the mid 1940’s rutherford was forced to have a limited schedule in 1943 & 44 and was unable to field a team in 1945 & 46. Varsity golf returned to Penn state in 1947 with a limited schedule. the Lions played five dual matches, finishing third at the eiGA Championship and 25th at the intercollegiate. rutherford’s team went on to have three more undefeated campaigns with the most significant being in 1948. the 1948 squad went into the eiGA Playoffs with an unblemished record of 3-0. the linksmen went on to beat Pitt 8-1, Cornell 6-3 and Army 9-0 to reach the eiGA Championships in Atlantic City, NJ. in the first round of the finals, Penn state went on to beat a tough Georgetown squad by a score of 6-3. Penn state had reached the championship match for the first time in school history. Penn state’s previous best finish at the eiGA finals had been in 1947 where they finished in third. the 1948 squad, captained by donald Hart, was not going to be denied the afternoon of May 15th, 1948. the Nittany Lions came out hot and would not cool down. All six Lions would win their matches in dominating fashion and therefore also claim the three best-ball matches. they went on to shut out 21-time NCAA Champion, Yale, by a score of 9-0 and became the first Nonivy league school to win the eiGA Championship. Coach Boyle was a starting member of the 1948 team and remembered the history
made by winning the eiGA with a twinkle in his eye. “We were so excited to win the eastern intercollegiate as those ivy teams were awfully tough in those days,” said Joe Boyle. the team would go on to finish the season undefeated with a record of 10-0 and would go on to finish in 16th place at the NCAA Championships in Palo Alto, California. the first Grant-in-Aid (Golf scholarship) was awarded to rod eaken of reading, Pa. in the early summer of 1950, a freshman to be, rod eaken received some disheartening news. He had received a letter from Penn state advising that, due to budgetary restrictions, five sports had been discontinued. during the summer months there was at least one invitational golf tournament held each week at some of the best country clubs in the Philadelphia area. one of the weekly competitors in these invitationals was a Penn state Alumnus and member of the Penn state Board of director’s: fred Waring. fred owned the famous shawnee-on-the-delaware resort and had his world famous band “the Pennsylvanians” based there.
rod, obviously elated, wondered if fred Waring would actually do something. He had never heard another word from Mr. Waring but when he returned to school in september, the Golf team had been reinstated. it was not until several years later that the other sports were reinstated. rutherford Jr. continued to build upon the success of his father. in his inaugural season as coach, rutherford Jr. led PsU senior tommy smith to the NCAA Championship in New Mexico. Although his teams did not claim an eiGA Championship, his teams finished the 1953 and 1955 seasons undefeated. in his seven year span as Head Coach, rutherford Jr. finished with a career mark of 50-13.
in June of 1950, while playing at scranton Country Club, rod eaken’s competitor that week was none other then fred Waring. during the round, rod approached Mr. Waring and asked him if he was aware that Penn state had dropped the golf team? fred was outraged and said to rod, “Penn state will have a Golf team if i have to pay for it myself.” 19 NCAA REGIONALS IN LAST 20 YEARS

Penn State Golf History coach Joe Boyle – Match Play to Medal in 1957, a new Coach was named in Joe Boyle. Coach Boyle’s first day of work as the Penn state golf coach just happened to be the same day as that of legendary football coach Joe Paterno. Boyle worked as rutherford Jr.’s assistant and was a member of the historic 1948 eiGA Championship team and captain of the 1949 team. Boyle wasted little time building off of rutherford’s successes. in his first year as coach, his squad went 10-2 and finished second in the eiGA Championship. in his 25 years as Head Coach, Boyle’s teams won seven eiGA Championships, including back-to-back titles in 1963 and 1964 and a string of three from 1971-1973. He had a team or individual compete for Penn state at the National Championship in 19 of his 25 years with the team and had a best finish of 16th Place in 1969. Boyle finished his coaching career with a dual match record of 197-38-1 which included seven undefeated seasons. He was an active member in the Golf Coaches Association of America and served as the associations President in 196768. Boyle was inducted in the GCAA Hall of fame in 1987 and was the recipient of the GCAA’s highest award, the Honor Award in 2007. the Honor Award which began in 1985 is awarded annually to a member of the GCAA Hall of fame who is retired and has made a significant contribution to the game of golf.
Boyle coached in an era that had a lot of change in collegiate golf. Part way through his coaching career intercollegiate golf gradually went away from traditional dual matches (Match Play) to stroke-play tournaments involving a number of teams. the Lions went from playing 10-15 dual-matches a year to 6-8 stroke play tournaments. one of the first and favorite tournaments that the Lion golfers became regular participants in was the indiana (PA) invitational played at the indiana Country Club. the Lions claimed their first iUP title in 1964 and went on to win the title 10 out of the next 11 years. With the popularity of intercollegiate golf growing across the nation, districts were also created to select the top teams from various areas of the country. Under Boyle, the Lions were traditionally one of the top ranked teams in district ii, made up of the northern Mid-Atlantic states. William (Bill) davidson is an important name in the history of Penn state golf. He became the programs first ever champion of the eiGA Championship and first All-American in 1959. in the 1958 eiGA Championship, davidson beat teammate Johnny felus in the semifinals and went on to win the title the next day beating ted Weiss of Yale. He was named team captain for the 1959 squad. in his career, davidson qualified for the NCAA Championship all three years he was a Nittany Lion (1957, 1958 & 1959). He finished his career with a regular season match-play record of 22-9.

in the fall of 1969, a young freshman from Jamestown, NY enrolled at Penn state. dan o’Neill immediately made an impact becoming the Lions No. 1 man by mid spring of 1970 and finished in 12th place at the NCAA Championship. that finish earned him All-American honors which he would achieve in each of his next three years with the Nittany Lions, becoming the first four-time All-American. in the summer of 1972, dan o’Neill qualified for the U.s. open at Pebble Beach and made the 36-hole cut. His cut making putt was seen live across the nation on ABC. in the late 1960’s golf became so popular on the University Park campus, that administration decided to build a second golf course. the new course was named the “Blue” and was built on the far west portion of the campus property and had a separate entrance off of College Ave. the original campus course was renamed the “White” course. the Blue course would open in 1970 at a par of 72 and length of 7,010 yards. it had 87 bunkers and three ponds. the course was designed by the architecture firm of Harrison & Grabin and built by university employees. it became the primary course for all Penn state intercollegiate competitions.
Penn State Golf History Kennedy Leads Lions to atlantic 10 Dominance in January 1982, Mary Kennedy-Zierke, the women’s coach at the time, was promoted to head coach of the men & women’s teams following the retirement of Joe Boyle. “fall” collegiate golf was now a norm and Coach Kennedy-Zierke led a number of successful teams in her 10 years as head coach. Kennedy, an outstanding teacher, developed several all district players and guided the Lions to prominence in eastern golf her last five years with the program. she was named district ii Coach of the Year in 1987 and 1991. Her teams claimed six Atlantic 10 Conference Championships including five in a row from 1986-1990. through this period of Penn state golf , nearly all competition was still eastern based. through these years, Coach Kennedy’s team improved year after year, nearly always atop the leader board in district ii competitions. overall under Kennedy’s guidance the Lions won 19 events, and twice she was named district ii Coach of the Year. am olf te 987 g ship. the 1 n io d e p h m c oa ha edy c eastern C Kenn e Mark ish in th fin place
the program was given a big lift in the mid 1980’s when the massive indoor facility, Holuba Hall, was completed. this free span structure covers two indoor 80-yard practice fields side-by-side. the 118,000-square foot facility, complete with the latest indoor turf surface, provided the Lions with a facility to get an early start on each spring.

Penn State Golf History Nye - Builds and goes National in Scope on Aug, 28, 1992 it was announced that former Bowling Green head men’s & women’s coach, Greg Nye, would take over the men’s team from retiree Men’s and Women’s coach Mary Kennedy-Zierke and lead the Lion golfers in the Big ten Conference. in Nye’s first season as the Lions’ coach, he led them to six team championships including the 1993 eastern Championship. the Lions finished eighth in the Big ten Championship and were the top ranking team in district ii. eventually, they finished the season in a tie for 16th at the NCAA east regional played in Charlottesville, Virginia. freshman dirk Ayers was named the Big ten freshman of the Year.
With 29 team titles in six seasons, Penn state was dominating the northeast and changed its schedule to a more national one. over the next five seasons, the Lions traveled to such places as texas, florida, Puerto rico, south Carolina, California, Colorado and Hawaii. though these years the Nittany Lions were lead by the program’s 13th All American, Matt Abbott.
the 1993-94 season was one for the record books. in Coach Greg Nye’s second year at the helm, the Nittany Lions went on to claim eight tournament titles. Penn state was in its second year as a member of the Big ten Conference and the Nittany Lions went to Madison, Wisconsin and finished in sixth place. When the newest edition of the Blue and White golf courses opened in 1994, golfers were greeted with completely new routings for both courses. the back nine of the Blue Course from the 1970 design became the current front nine and a new nine-holes, designed by tom Clark, 1971 Penn state graduate was built for the Blue Course as the back nine. the new Blue Course was completely opened for play on May 13, 1994 with a par of 72 and length of 6,525 yards. the White Course was reduced to 12 holes and six new holes were added, becoming a par 70, 6,008 yard layout. With the NCAA regional system put into play in 1989 the Nittany Lions qualified annually for the NCAA east regional and reached the NCAA finals in 1996. the 1996 Nittany Lion team made history, becoming the first northeast golf program to qualify for NCAA finals since regionals began. Adam decker, a one time Penn state walk – on, nearly won the NCAA east regional finishing second, and went on the following year to make the All American team. following their historic achievement in the spring of 1996, the Lions wasted no time proving that they were once again the top team in district ii. Like in 1994, the Nittany Lions captured a record eight tournament titles.

Penn State Golf History the product of a more difficult schedule came together for the 2003-04 team. early in the fall of 2003, the Nittany Lions captured three tournament titles in a row. the key to the schedule that season was winning the Macdonald Cup, hosted by Yale University. the Yale University GC was the host of the springs NCAA east regional. After 36 holes of the regional, the Nittany Lions were shocking the college golf world. in the lead with 18 holes to play, the Lions ended up finishing second behind Clemson University. Nye’s team went on to beat No. 1-ranked florida, as well as Georgia, Georgia tech, Auburn, and North Carolina. two weeks later, the Lions would ride the momentum of their regional finish and become the first northeast golf team of the stroke play era to make the cut at the NCAA finals. Mark Leon went on to finish in sixth place and became Penn state’s 14th All-American. in the spring of 2005, in order to compete with Big ten Conference facilities, the Blue Course and varsity practice facilities underwent their most recent renovation and additions. the Blue course was lengthened some 700 yards to 7,228 yards. Water hazards were added to holes two, three, five and 15. the most significant changes to the Blue Course occurred on holes seven and eight. Hole seven became 465 yards, par four and hole eight was reduced to 215 yards, par three. New tee boxes, two fairway bunkers, a pitch green, and practice bunker were added to the practice facilities located on the range. A new two-plus acre varsity short-game area was built for the teams behind the 14th green of the Blue Course. the area includes a 13,000 sq ft. putting and chipping green and an 10,000 sq. ft. “impact” green, surrounded by three fairways and bunkers of four different styles. A big change occurred to college golf in the summer of 2007. the NCAA Golf Committee had decided to change the NCAA regional qualification system. districts no longer existed and qualifying for regional play was now based purely on a team’s national rank.
Big National Wins Bring Highest Ranking in the fall of 2007, indiana played host to the Wolf run intercollegiate where the Lions would knock off Big ten rivals indiana, Michigan, and Northwestern as well as seC teams like Kentucky and Arkansas to claim the first of two consecutive wins. the confident Lions went to richmond, Va., the next week and defended their VCU shootout title. in that victory, Penn state knocked off perennial top 25 teams Wake forest and North Carolina. Kevin foley claimed the individual title with a 15-under par performance. the following week the Lions received their highest ever national ranking, 6th in the nation. they were also named Golfweek Magazine “team of the Week” for their recent play. the Lions would finish the regular season with a stunning head-tohead record of 119-15-0. At the Central regional, led by a second place finish from two time All Big ten selection robert rohanna, the Lions finished tied for eighth place and advanced on to the NCAA finals hosted by Big ten member Purdue University. After three rounds of play at the NCAA finals the Lions stood in 25th place of the 30 teams and would miss the 54-hole cut. Kevin foley advanced as an individual to the final round and finished 23rd and became Penn state’s 15th All-American. Coach Greg Nye was named Mid Atlantic region Coach of the Year for the sixth time.
