JIM COOK Head Coac/? L/n/V. of Memphis, '68 31 plus seasons at Memphis

Jim Cook, who was entering his 32nd year as head coach of The University of Memphis golf program, died on November 8,2002. A 1968 graduate of The U of M, Cook came to the University of Memphis after working as a teacher and coach in the Shelby County (TN) school system. Having recruited some of the top players in the U.S. and Canada, Cook's team used a youth movement to replace several seniors who graduated in the spring of 2001. He entered the fall of 2002 with a balanced squad and had five top five finishes in tournament play. The Tigers won the Blue Demon Invitational and placed fourth in two events and fifth in two others. The 1992-93 Tiger squad, which had lost several all-conference players from the previous season, battled throughout the year and finished the Great Midwest Conference Tournament in a first place tie with the University of Cincinnati. The two teams went head-tohead in a sudden death playoff with the Bearcats winning the tournament on the second playoff hole. Senior Mark Maness also tied for medalist honors with Dan Gage of Cincinnati, but lost in a sudden death playoff. Under Cook's tutelage, The U of M placed two members on the 1993-94 GMC All-Conference team in Clint Clement and Grant Robbins and had four team members on the GMC All-Conference team in 1992-93, s including I Mark Maness, It R o b b i n s , Scott

McLargin and Clement. Cook coached his 1991-92 squad to the first Great Midwest Conference golf championship in May of 1992 at Cog Hill Golf Club in Chicago, Illinois. Led by Troy Witham, Maness, Brian Reeb and Robbins, the Tigers captured not only the team title but the individual medalist honors as well. In addition, Cook was named the Great Midwest Conference Coach of the Year. His Coach of the Year honors and conference championship meant a great deal to the head coach who had battled back from open heart surgery just two years earlier. During the fall of 1990, while recovering from heart surgery, Cook's Tigers dedicated the season to their head coach and won the Hillman Robbins Memorial Intercollegiate and the Dixie Intercollegiate and placed third in the Glenn Red Jacoby Intercollegiate during the fall campaign. In 1987, under Cook's guidance, the Tigers won the Murray State Intercollegiate and completed the 1987 season by capturing the Metro Conference championship. Since the Metro began playing a championship tournament in 1976, Cook's teams were consistently one of the best in the conference. The U of M won the first conference championship in 1976 and repeated as conference champs in 1987. The Tigers finished second on five occasions. Tony Mitchell captured two Metro Conference individual championships and Paul Haire won one title. Cook has transformed the program from one that relied heavily on local talent, to one that can compete for players throughout the country. Recent rosters have included players from Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Texas and Maine. The Tigers have also had players from England and Canada. As a collegiate coach, Cook has contributed much more than just his coaching abilities. He is the director of the Hillman Robbins Memorial Intercollegiate Tournament. He has served on the selection committee for the NCAA Golf Championships and serves as a member of the Board of Directors of the Southern Golf Association. Cook has also served as the chairman of the Legislative Committee for the GCAA (Golf Coaches Association of America), and is the Division I Representative to the GCAA Board of Directors. He is a former member of the board of Christ United Methodist Church and heads up the churches security committee. Jim is survived by his wife Mary Nelle and his two sons, Jay, a graduate of Memphis and Christopher, age 21, a current college student.

Tigers To Begin A New Era Without Coach Jim Cook.... After completing a very successful fall season, tragedy struck The University of Memphis men's golf team. During the early morning hours of November 8th, longtime Tiger golf coach Jim Cook died in his sleep bringing to an end a 31-year career as the head of the U of M golf program. The Tigers had just completed the University of South Alabama Fall Beach Classic with yet another top five finish and Cook's hopes for the spring season were running high. Memphis had won the DePaul Blue Demon Invitational during the fall season and had placed fourth in two events and fifth in two other tournaments. A possible run at the Conference USA tittle appeared likely for Cook and his linksters. The University immediately began a search for a new coach and a replacement is expected to named prior to the spring opening tournament in February. Whoever the new coach is, he will inherit a talented team which appears poised for the spring season. Led by junior Alan Weant, the Tigers have a nice blend of age and experience. There are three seniors, five juniors, two sophomores and two freshmen making up the 2002-03 squad. All of the Tiger players have seen action competing in at least one collegiate tournament for Memphis. Michael Prieur, Cobb Andrews and transfer Patrick Watermeier make up this year's senior class. Prieur is the most veteran of the three having played 72 rounds of collegiate competition. He carried a 75.7 stroke average last season and lowered that average to 75.6 during the 2002 fall season. The Memphian has a career low round of 69 and a career average of 76.4 strokes per round. Andrews, who has battled back from injuries and a motorcycle accident during his career, has a 77.3 career stroke average after playing 16 competitive rounds. Watermier transferred to Memphis after three seasons at the University of South Florida. The former Germantown High School product and prep teammate of PGA TOUR player David Gossett suffered with back problems in the fall of 2002 but is expected to return to action this spring.

Weant played the number one position for Memphis in the fall of 2002 and captured his first collegiate tournament title by finishing as the low individual in the DePaul Blue Demon Invitational. The former United States Amateur qualifier averaged 74.9 strokes per round last year and completed the fall season with a 72.3 average. He had a low score of 67 in the final round of the Blue Demon Invitational. A transfer from Auburn University, Weant has a career average of 74.0 at theUofM. Weant is joined by juniors David Jeans, Frederik Kolderup, Art Lynch and Ben Smith. Jeans has played one of the top four positions for Memphis over his two year career. Appearing in all five events for Memphis in the fall, Jeans averaged 74.4 strokes per round and placed as high as 12th in the Fall Beach Classic. He had six subpar rounds in the fall in 68 's at the Fall Beach and at the Blue Demon. Kolderup, a native of Norway, Idaho resident Lynch and Memphian Smith have all played sparingly as Tigers but have seen tournament competition. Kolderup has a career average of 79.3 strokes per round while playing in three events. Lynch has competed in five tournaments and plays to a 77.3 average. Smith is a veteran of four collegiate events and has a 79.7 career average.

Perhaps the biggest surprise for the Tigers in the fall of 2002 was the play of redshirt sophomore Allan Thomas. The Little Rock native had not qualified for a tournament during two years at Memphis. But in the fall of 2002, Thomas qualified for the season opening Raising Cane Classic in Hattiesburg, MS, and finished as the Tigers' best score, tying for sixth with rounds of 7473-66. The following week he placed second in the DePaul Blue Demon Invitational and helped the U of M to the team title. Thomas rounded out the fall season with a 15th place finish at the Rio Pinar Intercollegiate and a tie for 19th in the Fall Beach Classic. He led the team in scoring average at 72.0 for the fall and his round of 66 ties for the second lowest competitive round in school history. Joining Thomas in the sophomore class is Englishman Richard Jones, who also qualified for the United States Amateur in the summer of 2002. Jones played in all five tournaments for the Tigers in the fall of 2002 and completed the season with a 74.6 stroke average. He had two top twenty finishes in the fall and posted three subpar rounds. The Tigers will have two redshirted freshmen for the spring season. Memphians Clayton Ellis and Mike Regenold were both held out of competition last year but have played competitive rounds in the fall of 2002. Ellis qualified for three of the five events in the spring of 2002. His best finish was a tie for 18th in the Blue Demon Invitational. The White Station High graduate averaged 76.0 strokes per round in the fall. Regenold, one of the team's four Conference USA Commissioner's Honor Roll members, played in the Hillman Robbins Memorial Intercollegiate and averaged 77.0 strokes per round. With so much competitive experience and youthful talent, the Tigers new coach should be able to mold the squad into a tested unit for the 2003 spring season.

Members of the first Tiger golf team included football star Jack Scott, Bill Permenter, Charles Stewart, William Giehler, Gordon Gilbert, Don Cheek, and Jack Russell. The team captured the Tennessee state championship in 1948. +In 1949-50 the golf team completed the regular season with a 7-1 record in match play. They defeated such teams as Ole Miss and Tulane in route to their outstanding season. Bob Crenshaw and Dick Holley were added to the team and Bill Permenter won the Tennessee state individual title and Bill Cheek captured the Memphis city championship. 1951-60 +Larry Smith became the head golf coach at The University of Memphis in 1950-51 and immediately added Hillman Robbins, the state of Tennessee junior championship, to the Tiger roster. Robbins earned the number one spot on the team as a freshman and went on to win the Tennessee Intercollegiate Athletic Conference crown and the Southern Intercollegiate. +Ron Wenzler was signed for 1951 -52 and joined Wray Williams, Jimmy Wade, Mike Flanagan, Bobby Mitchell, Rodney Scarbrough and Robbins to give the Tigers another championship team. Robbins, playing in the number one position, won the Colonial Invitational, the Memphis City championship and the Southern Intercollegiate. The team finished with a 8-1 -1 record under the direction of coach Smith. +In 1953-54, the Tigers continued to pile up victories in match play. Hillman Robbins won the Colonial Invitational forthe third consecutive year. He also laid claim to the Tennessee state championship, the Southeastern PGA, and the Tennessee Intercollegiate Athletic Conference title.

Memphis will now align with Cincinnati, Marquette, SaintLouis, UAB and De Paul from the GMC, Louisville, Southern Mississippi, Tulane, UNC C and South Florida from the Metro Conference and Houston from the Southwest Conference. In the final year of the GMC, the Tigers finished second in the conference championship which was hosted by the Tigers at Farmington Country. +The 1996 team competed for the first time in the newly former Conference USA, which featured such outstanding golf teams as Houston and South Florida. +The youthful 1997 team was comprised of two freshmen, one sophomore and two seniors yet still managed five top ten finishes including a fourth place spot in the South Florida Invitational and a fourth in the Conference USA Championship.

Considered the Home of the Blues and the Birthplace of Rock 'n Roll, the city of Memphis's musical roots run deep. However, music is just a chapter in the history as well as the future of the city located in the heart of Mid-America. Memphis, named after the capital of ancient Egypt, boasts all the amenities you would expect in a city with over 1,000,000 residents while retaining the charm and down-to-earth feel of a small town. Downtown is served by the Main Street Trolley. The trolley system, which first opened in April of 1993, currently consists of the Main Street Line which passes near such Memphis landmarks as Beale Street, the Pinch District, Court Square and the National Civil Rights Museum. The Riverfront Loop includes a station in front of The Pyramid and offers riders a unique vista of the Mississippi River. Memphis musical roots can be traced to band leader W.C. Handy who wrote the first blues song here in 1909, a campaign theme for Memphis mayor "Boss" Crump called "Boss Crump Blues" and later published as "The Memphis Blues." The sound soon caught on and blues bands filled the clubs along Beale. Young musicians who performed along Beale included Muddy Waters, Furry Lewis, Albert King, Bobby "Blue" Bland and B.B. King. Where Beale Street meets the Mississippi River is Tom Lee Park, site of the annual Beale Street Music Festival. The weekend-long musical festival is just a part of the month-long Memphis in May International Festival which also includes the World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest and the Sunset Symphony. Located just off Beale Street is the Peabody Place Retail and Entertainment Center which opened in September. The 300,000 square foot retail complex features a 22-screen theater as well as shops ranging from Tower Records and Books, the Gap and Ann Taylor Lofts. Another major tenant

is Jillian's, a multi-dimensional entertainment venue complete with a sports video cafe, dance club, billiards and more than 150 electronic simulation games. Also located within a block of Beale is Gibson Guitar Memphis which includes factory tours and cultural exhibits. Also on the same property is the Smithsonian's Rock 'n Soul Museum which includes artifacts documenting music's past. Memphis's musical roots also includes Stax and HiRecords as well as Sun Records recording studios. Stax became known for "sweet soul music" through such artists as the MarKeys, Booker T. and the MGs, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Sam and Dave and Isaac Hayes. One of Hi-Records premier artist was Al Green. Sun Records most famous recording artist was Elvis Presley and boasted Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash among its recording artists.

LADY TIGERS RECEIVE SIX NCAA BIDS OVER LAST SEVEN YEARS In the spring of 1996, The University of Memphis Lady Tiger golf team received its first team invitation to the NCAA Golf Championship. The team, comprised of such noted players as Naima Ghilain, Amanda Moltke-Leth, Valerie Luehrs and Meredith Thomas, finished 16th in that East Regional at Auburn, Alabama, but set the mark for other Lady Tiger teams. The Lady Tigers attended the 1997 East Regional in Bloomington, IL, the 1998 East Regional in Durham, NC, the 1999 East Regional in Blythewood, SC, the 2001 West Regional in Corvallis, OR and the 2002 West Regional in Baton Rouge, LA. The U of M was also represented in the 1994 NCAA East Regional byAllisa Louder who tied for 11th individually and in the 2000 West Regional by Meaghan Francella who qualified for the NCAA Finals. The tradition of appearing in the NCAA Tournament was set many years and is a goal for each and every Lady Tiger golf team.

For six of the past seven seasons the University of Memphis Lady Tiger golf team has been invited to the NCAA Golf Championship at the conclusion of the school year. Now with the return of several veteran players and with a talented new coach at the helm, the Lady Tigers are poised to make it "lucky number seven". Following the 2001-02 season, the University began a search to replace interim coach Katie Rump, who on very short notice, had filled in for a year. As the search began, one name started appearing on everyone's list, Sheryl Maize, the renowned teaching coach from Augburg College in Minnesota. A former Florida state champion, Junior All-American and collegiate standout at the University of Miami, Maize had become one of the most recognized names in golf instruction. After her college career and a stint on the Future's Tour, Maize began teaching golf on a professional level. She served for nine years as an instructor in Minnesota and during the summer months, moved to North Carolina and Florida to work with young golfers. Maize is a member of the Peggy Kirk Bell elite teaching staff and has taught side-byside with Bell and LPGA legend Kathy Whitworth. She also serves as an instructor at the Ben Sutton Golf Schools and has

Junior Jennifer Jaszek

taught around the country at various LPGA Golf Clinics. The dynamic young coach inherited a veteran squad upon her arrival in Memphis. Led by junior Jennifer Jaszek and senior Marianne Ruud, this year's Memphis squad is quite capable of returning to the NCAA Championship. The Lady Tigers had three top five finishes in the fall of 2002 and won the team and individual titles at the Memphis Women's Intercollegiate. Ruud, a native of Oslo, Norway, has matured into a top performer for the University of Memphis. She led the Lady Tigers in scoring average in the fall of 2002 with a mark of 74.9 strokes per round. A previous tournament champion, Ruud placed fourth in the Memphis Women's Intercollegiate in the fall of '02 and was third in the Louisville Lady Cardinal Cup. She led the team in scoring in three of the five fall events. Last season Ruud won her first collegiate event, the Edwin Watts/Carolinas Classic at Pinehurst, North Carolina. She averaged 77.9 strokes per round as a junior and was named the Conference USA Player of the Month in February of 2002. She has had eight top ten finishes in her career. Jaszek has played as a regular for Memphis for the past two years. She won her first collegiate tournament title at the 2001 Memphis Women's Intercollegiate and repeated the feat by winning the event again in 2003. She became just the second player in the 20-year history of the event to repeat as champion. As member of the Conference USA Commissioner's Honor Roll and winner of the Commissioner's Medal for Academics, Jaszek has maintained steady play for the Lady Tigers. She posted a scoring average of 75.5 in the fall of 2002 and carried an average of 77.0 through her sophomore season. Jaszek has had six top ten finishes in her career, including her two tournament victories. Senior Abby More has improved her game with each tournament played as a Lady Tiger. A member of the Conference USA Commissioner's Honor Roll and winner of the Commissioner's Medal for Academics, More has lowered her scoring average from

85.1 strokes per round as a freshman to 78.1 in the fall of 2002. She played the number three spot for the U of M in the fall of '02 and tied for ninth in the Memphis Women's Intercollegiate. More would later tie for 16th in the Beacon Woods Invitational for her fourth career top twenty finish. Senior Josey Edwards has spent a great deal of her career rehabilitating from injuries. The runner-up in the 101st annual Pacific Northwest Golf Association Championship in Vancouver, British Columbia, in 2002, Edwards played in all five tournaments for Memphis in the fall of 2002. Her highest finish was 19th place at the Louisville Lady Cardinal Cup where she averaged 78.3 strokes per round. She tied for 23rd in the Memphis Women's Intercollegiate, an event won by the U of M. Freshman Danielle Reilly arrived in Memphis for the fall of 2002 and immediately displayed her talents by tying for ninth in the Memphis Women's Intercollegiate. The Las Vegas, Nevada, native carded rounds of 7772-78 in helping her team to the title. Reilly averaged 79.1 strokes per round in the fall and is expected to be a mainstay for Memphis in the spring of 2003. Rounding out the 2002-03 Lady Tiger team is redshirt freshman Ava Lalancette. The Vermont native excelled in the classroom last year and was named to the Conference USA Commissioner's Honor Roll but battled injury and illness which kept her out of action. Now healthy for the first time in her career, LaLancette is expected to contribute to the Lady Tiger effort this spring. With a new coach and a veteran team in place, the University of Memphis Lady Tiger golf team should continue to show strong play in the spring and if a few putts fall at the right time, there is no reason that the team want be packing their clubs and bags for yet another return trip to the NCAA Tournament in April.

She lettered for four years at the University of Miami and served as captain of the Lady Hurricane squad.

She is also a member of Peggy Kirk Bell's elite teaching staff during the famous Women's Only "Golfari" Golf Schools at Pine Needles Resort in North Carolina each season. Teaching along side such legends as Peggy Kirk Bell and Kathy Whitworth has only fueled Maize's passion to help women learn and enjoy the game of golf.

maize's teaching philosophy Maize is committed to helping her students develop a swing based on their natural abilities and body types. The goal is to create or enhance a swing that is "perfect" for the individual, not necessarily a search for "The Perfect Swing". Utilizing memorable analogies, Maize believes in making learning fun no matter the players age or skill level. She desires to equip each of her players with solid fundamentals, confidence and a practice plan for success. Overall, she focuses on the fundamentals and keeping things simple, while tailor ing her instruction to meet each individual's needs and goals. opportunity to teach around the country at various LPGA Golf Clinics for Women and has led to her co-founding Chicks & Sticks, specialty/corporate clinics for women in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota. She also spends time speaking at FC A junior golf camps and is involved with LPGA-USGA Girls Golf. With her deep desire to teach golf and incorporate life sessions, Maize completed two years as head golf coach at Augsburg College in Minneapolis, where she also taught for six years at Baker National Golf Course. While at Augsburg College, the women's golf team demonstrated marked improvement in just two seasons. Maize took over a new program and in two seasons had each player dramatically improve their stroke average per round. Prior to taking over the Augsburg College program, Maize served as the volunteer assistant coach for the University of Minnesota women's golf team in the fall of 1997 and 1998. She has also been a part-time staff member of the College Golf Fellowship and in 1994 worked as the head girl's golf coach at Cardinal Mooney (Fla) High.

TOURNAMENT HISTORY For 22 consecutive years, The University of Memphis women's golf team has hosted the Memphis Women's Intercollegiate golf tournament. Throughout its history, the three-day, 54-hole tournament has been held at such area courses as The Club at Northcreek, Big Creek Golf Club, Quail Ridge Golf Club, Colonial Country Club, Windyke Country Club and Stonebridge Golf Club. This year, The Club at Northcreek, located in Southaven, Mississippi, served as the host site.

The field has included numerous collegiate players who are now appearing on the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Tour. The Memphis event has seen the likes of Jenny Lidback, Kate Rogerson, Amy Read, Donna Andrews, Dottie Pepper and Cathy Johnston listed among the stellar participants. The University of Memphis, captured the team championship for two consecutive years ion the 1990's. Under the guidance of then head coach Debby King, the Lady Tigers won the team championship in 1995 and again in 1996. Lady Tiger Natalie Tucker captured medalist honors in the event in 1998. She and Amanda Moltke-Leth were the only Lady Tigers to win medalist honors for many years. However, over the past two years, the University of Memphis has won two additional team titles making the U of M and Furman the only two schools to have four championships in the event. Memphis's team score of 896 in 2002 marked the first time in tournament history that a team had broken the 900 mark for 54-holes of competition. The previous low score had been a 914 by the University of Alabama in 1998. Memphis junior Jennifer Jaszek entered elite company in the fall of 2002 when she won medalist honors for the second consecutive year.

The University of Memphis Lady Tiger golf team has become very involved in giving back to the Memphis community through The First Tee Program. The program, which was started nationally five years ago, is designed is introduce children from all backgrounds to the game of golf. The mission of The First Tee Program is to impact the lives of young people around the world by creating affordable and accessible golf facilities to primarily serve those who have not previously had exposure to the game and its positive values. Along with establishing an initial goal of having 100 golf-learning facilities in some form of development by the end of the year 2000, The First Tee Program realized that there existed a larger opportunity than just teaching the game of golf. The primary objectives began to evolve around providing young people of all backgrounds an opportunity to develop, through golf and character education, life-enhancing values such as honesty, integrity and sportsmanship.

Lady Tiger Ava Laiancetie works with young, aspiring golfer as part of The First Tee Program in Memphis.

The University of Memphis began as a small state teacher's college. Today, The U of M is a major center for learning and research. The University of Memphis' roots date back to 1912, when radio was young, motion pictures were silent and William Howard Taft was in the White House. Named West Tennessee State Normal School, the institution's main purpose was to train and educate secondary-school teachers. Answering the need for a comprehensive school in the Mid-South, WTSNS expanded its curriculum. In 1941, the school's name changed to Memphis State College and in 1957, the college received university status and became Memphis State University. On July 1,1994, the name was changed to The University of Memphis. The U of M now has more than 20,000 students and a physical plant comprising 1,160 acres on seven different sites. The main campus lies in the center of a large metropolis and combines the convenience of a major city with the atmosphere of a residential neighborhood. South Campus, which was once a veteran's hospital, is home to the Billy J. Murphy Sports Complex, WKNO-TV and student family housing. Students and faculty members can conduct environmental research at the Edward J. Meeman Biological Field Station, which encompasses more than 600 acres of forest, wetlands and fields some 25 miles from the campus. Chucalissa Museum, a reconstructed American Indian village, is also part of the University's anthropological studies program. The University is guided by the principles of academic integrity, sound management and equal opportunity. With instruction, service and research as interdependent goals, the University

The new Ned R. McWherter Library houses more than 800,000 books.
