ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE

Exceptional EducationSince its founding, Notre Dame has stressed mixing academics with

faith and has done so while becoming one of the top institutions of

higher learning in the nation. Featuring fi ve undergraduate colleges

(Arts and Letters, Science, Architecture, Engineering and Business),

the First Year of Studies, the Graduate School and the Law School, the

University fi nds itself attracting some of the top students and faculty

in the country. Students also participate in cutting edge research and

diverse study abroad opportunities, enabling Notre Dame to off er one

of the top academic experiences in the world.

Dame is ranked among the top 25 institutions

of higher learning (U.S. News and World Report,

Princeton Review, Time, Kiplinger’s and Kaplan/

Newsweek).


First Year of Studies

The First Year of Studies program provides all fi rst-year students with

the opportunity to gain a wide-ranging liberal arts background before

choosing a specifi c major within Notre Dame’s fi ve undergraduate col-

leges. A progressive advising program for all student-athletes enables

the University to follow the academic progress of all student-athletes

on a regular basis. Key to the program is the fact that it is not run by the

athletics department but by the University administration.

Student-Athlete Success

Notre Dame expects the best out of its student-athletes just as it

does of every other student on campus. Notre Dame has had unprec-

edented academic success among its athletes, consistently ranking

among the top NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision schools in graduation

rates and academic progress. With more Academic All-Americans than

any other school since 2000, Irish athletes have shown themselves ca-

pable of performing in the classroom while competing on the fi eld at

an elite level.

ter and all 26 varsity teams placed above NCAA

standards.

graduation rate according to the NCAA’s Gradu-

ation Success Rate, second most among Football

Bowl Subdivision institutions.

Percentage of Irish varsity sports (19 of 22) to

achieve a perfect 100 percent graduation rate

percent graduation rate and no other school saw

more than 80 percent of its programs achieve a

perfect score.

According to 2009 NCAA Graduation Success

Rate results, Notre Dame ranked fi rst in the na-

tion in graduation rates among all student-

athletes (99 percent), male student-athletes (98

percent), female student athletes (100 percent),

black student-athletes (97 percent) and football

student-athletes (96 percent).


Notre Dame has incorporated Erika Whitman, a full-time sports dieti-

cian, as a part of its Strength and Conditioning staff . Whitman continu-

ally provides accurate and up-to-date nutrition education to student-

athletes and coaches. Including nutrition as an integral component of

all training programs enables Irish athletes to achieve optimal health

and maximize performance.

division schools to employ a full-time sports di-

etician in its athletics department.

Sports Nutrition

While no athlete plans on an injury, Notre Dame is prepared with

one of the top sports medicine teams in the country to help keep its

athletes fi t and ready to compete. With training facilities in the Joyce

Center, Notre Dame Stadium and the Guglielmino Athletics Complex,

the training staff is always there to care for athletes. With approximate-

ly 225 years combined experience on the full-time staff , Notre Dame

also boasts a partnership with the renowned South Bend Orthopae-

dics to provide fi rst-class care.

STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING

Strength and ConditioningThe task of keeping athletes in top physical condition is up to the

strength & conditioning staff . The strength and conditioning staff

knows the demands of competing on an elite level and is committed

to ensuring Irish athletes are always in the best possible condition.

From weight lifting to wind sprints and from warming up to cooling

down, the strength and conditioning staff has every aspect covered.

When Father Edward F. Sorin started his school in the northern In-

diana wilderness, he had only $300, three log buildings badly in need

of repair and a far-sighted vision of establishing a liberal arts school to

meet the growing educational needs of the frontier. He dreamed of

building a great university, and in 1842, he founded the University of

Notre Dame du Lac.

Over the years, the University of Notre Dame du Lac would evolve

into a preeminent place for Catholic thought. While becoming one of

the top undergraduate institutions in the country, Notre Dame has

also been at the cutting edge of research, including such innovations

as the transmission of wireless messages and the development of syn-

thetic rubber. The University also has stressed residential life, with four

of fi ve students living on campus. Students come to Notre Dame not

only to learn how to think, but to learn how to live, keeping faith with

the vision of Father Sorin.

1842The University of Notre Dame was founded by

Rev. Edward F. Sorin, C.S.C., as an independent,

national Catholic university adjacent to South

Bend, Ind., on St. Mary’s and St. Joseph’s Lakes.

Jack SwarbrickDirector of Athletics

John B. “Jack” Swarbrick Jr., a University of Notre

Dame graduate who rose to national prominence

as a lawyer, consultant and executive in the

collegiate and Olympic sports industries, is in his

third year in 2010-11 as director of athletics at his

alma mater.

Among Swarbrick’s athletics initiatives are

meeting the performance needs of Notre Dame

student-athletes through establishment of a new

sports performance division, reaching out to more

former Irish student-athletes via the Notre Dame

Monogram Club and other programs, utilizing

emerging digital technologies to deliver better information

on and access to Notre Dame athletic programs via expanded

production and distribution of programming, and restructuring

Notre Dame’s approach to sport administration through

assignment of a unique administrator to each of the

26 Irish sports.

The past two years

combined in Notre Dame

athletics have featured 68

All-Americans, 14 Academic

All-America selections and

four NCAA Post-Graduate

Scholarship winners; record

involvement in community

service hours by Irish student-

athletes; NCAA runner-up team

fi nishes in 2010 men’s lacrosse,

2009 fencing and 2008 women’s soccer; NCAA semifi nal appearances

in 2009 and 2010 women’s tennis and 2009 women’s soccer, plus a

2010 third-place fencing fi nish; the hiring of new Irish head football

coach Brian Kelly to start the 2010 season; the decision to build a new,

freestanding ice hockey arena, scheduled to open for the 2011-12

season, plus the 2009-10 dedications of new facilities for soccer and

lacrosse – as well as opening of the new Purcell Pavilion within the

south dome of the Joyce Center, and 15 BIG EAST Conference titles

along with four other league crowns in hockey, men’s lacrosse and

fencing.

Notre Dame ranked number one in the country (among Football

Bowl Subdivision schools) in the two most recent Graduation Success

Rate (GSR) surveys -- in 2009 with a 99 (including a 97 score in football

that also ranked number one).

Born in Yonkers, N.Y., and raised in Yonkers and Bloomington, Ind.,

Swarbrick is a 1976 magna cum laude graduate of Notre Dame with

a bachelor’s degree in economics. Upon graduating from Stanford

University Law School in 1980, he returned to Indiana to accept a

position as an associate in the Indianapolis law fi rm Baker & Daniels.

He made partner in 1987 and spent 28 years overall with the fi rm.

As a member of the Indiana Sports Corporation, including the

chairmanship from 1992 to 2001, Swarbrick led most of the city’s

successful proposals to a wide array of athletics organizations – from

the National Football League to the United States Olympic Committee

to the Big Ten Conference. His leadership eff orts resulted in the city

earning the right to play host to the 2012 Super Bowl in Indianapolis

at Lucas Oil Stadium; becoming the home of the National Collegiate

Athletic Association national headquarters in 1999; hosting the

1987 Pan American Games, 1991 World Gymnastics Championships,

NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Fours and other college championship

competitions and an array of national and

world championships in Olympic sports.

Swarbrick’s practice at Baker & Daniels

focused on the representation of owners of

sports teams and organizations that sanction

or conduct athletic competitions. He served

as general counsel for numerous national

governing bodies of Olympic sports,

including USA Gymnastics and USRowing,

and as a consultant to the 1996 Summer

Olympic Games in Atlanta.

In his work as an advisor to the NCAA,

Swarbrick coordinated the men’s College

Basketball Partnership, an NCAA-led group that

addresses the opportunities and challenges in the

sport, and developed the business plan for the new

NBA/NCAA youth basketball enterprise, iHoops. In

2000 Swarbrick received one of the NCAA’s highest

honors, The Flying Wedge Award, for his work in

establishing Indianapolis as the new home of the

NCAA. In 2001 the State of Indiana presented him

with the Sagamore of the Wabash Award.

Born March 19, 1954, Swarbrick was named Notre

Dame’s 12th athletics director on July 16, 2008. He

and his wife, Kimberly, are the parents of four children: Kate, a

2010 graduate of St. Louis University; Connor, a senior at Wake

Forest University; Cal, a freshman at TCU; and Christopher, a

high school senior.

In the midst of a master plan that will touch nearly every varsity

team, Notre Dame has shown its commitment to providing athletes

with the best possible facilities to help them compete on a national

level. From new facilities to the extensive renovation of existing ones,

Notre Dame is committed to giving Irish athletes every edge imagin-

able. The plan will result in a drastically altered footprint on the south-

east corner of campus, creating an athletics quad that will give every

Irish athlete a place they will be proud to call home.

New facilities which have opened their doors in

the past fi ve years, including the Guglielmino

Athletics Complex (housing football offi ces and

locker room, a new weight room and new sports

medicine facilities), the LaBar Practice Complex

(featuring two Field Turf fi elds and one natural

grass fi eld) and Melissa Cook Stadium (home of

the Irish softball team). Three facilities opened

during the 2009-10 school year: Alumni Stadium

(home to men’s and women’s soccer), Purcell Pa-

vilion (renovation and expansion of men’s and

women’s basketball arena) and Arlotta Family

Stadium (home of men’s and women’s lacrosse).

EXCELLENCE ON THE FIELDXCELLENCE ON THE FIELD

Notre Dame prides itself on competing with the best in every sport

it fi elds. Eight diff erent programs have won national championships

since Notre Dame began its fi rst varsity team, football in 1887. With

more consensus national championships in football than any other

school, other programs have begun to emerge on the national scene

in the 15 years since Notre Dame joined the BIG EAST Conference.

26National championships (11 in football, seven in

fencing, three in women’s soccer, two in men’s

tennis, one in men’s golf, men’s cross country and

women’s basketball) won by Notre Dame.

111 BIG EAST Conference championships won by

Notre Dame in 15 seasons of league play.

8Conference championships won by Irish teams

during the 2009-10 year (six BIG EAST plus two

Midwest Fencing Conference championships).

EXCELLENCE OFF THE FIELD


In addition to academic success, Notre Dame emphasizes giving

back to the community as well. Notre Dame athletes have participated

in countless service projects through the years, benefi ting the Notre

Dame and South Bend communities and beyond. Team and individual

projects have allowed Irish athletes to see the positive impact they

have in the lives of others and learn how to use their talents to benefi t

those in their communities.

6,000Hours of community service completed by Notre

Dame student-athletes during the 2009-10

school year.

5,000Number of people directly impacted by Notre

STUDENT WELFARE & DEVELOPMENT


An Exclusive ClubThe Notre Dame Monogram Club was founded by athletics direc-

tor Jesse Harper in 1916 to bring together varsity letterwinners to pro-

mote spirit, unity, leadership and sportsmanship. Today’s active mem-

bers help keep past athletes connected to Notre Dame and the current

student-athletes. In addition to helping contribute to scholarships, the

Monogram Club has helped contribute to new facilities, especially the

renovation of Heritage Hall and the Monogram Room, located in the

Joyce Center.

tween South Bend and Mishawaka in northern Indiana, Notre Dame

has benefi ted the area in ways unimaginable, especially when it comes

to Notre Dame football weekends. It is estimated that the average

football weekend brings approximately $6.2 million dollars to the sur-

rounding community. In addition to the fi nancial aspect, Notre Dame

feels truly invested in the surrounding community, with students par-

ticipating in countless service projects to benefi t the greater South

Notre Dame Men’s Golf

With all fi ve main contributing members of the Notre Dame rotation returning to the lineup in

2011-12, the Irish hope a repeat appearance in the NCAA Championship is in the cards.

The 2011-12 Notre Dame golf team will be one fi lled with several tournament-laden members return-ing, including all fi ve major contributors from last year’s fi ve-man rotation. However, the three seniors who have moved on from the Irish program will take with them a major leadership role that must be replaced. Connor Alan-Lee and Jeff Chen each fi lled voids in the Irish lineup at various times in 2010-11, with Alan-Lee fi lling the No. 5 spot at the BIG EAST Championship and Chen jumping in to place third at the NCAA Southeast Regional. Chen, additionally, graduated from the program with the 10th-best career stroke average at 74.81. The fi nal of the three seniors to be replaced is Dustin Zhang, who fi nished his career having played in 19 tournaments for the Irish, earning two top-10 fi nishes as well as one top-fi ve result at the 2008 Irish Invitational.

Head coach Jim Kubinski must fi ll the leadership role that these three take with them, but he can look to the new leadership of a trio of talented rising seniors as well as the knowledge that all fi ve main members of the fi ve-man rotation return this season. Pair that with the development of the now-rising sophomores and incoming freshman trio and weap-ons will be aplenty for Kubinski to choose from in 2011-12.

SENIORS:Easily the biggest strength for the Irish this season

will be the talented senior class that has played in a combined 78 tournaments over their time with the program, bringing home two individual medalist hon-ors along the way. Their valuable knowledge of tour-nament competition will be heavily relied upon to bolster a very deep and experienced rotation.

Max Scodro comes into his fi nal year with the pro-gram off arguably his strongest season with the Irish in 2010-11. After earning medalist honors at the 2011 BIG EAST Championship and being the only player in the fi eld to fi nish under-par at the tournament, Scodro became the fi rst golfer in program history to be named the conference’s Player of the Year and only the fi fth to be named a PING All-Midwest Region selection. The most experienced of any of the seniors, Scodro has played in the Irish rotation in 31 tourna-ments while compiling the program’s third-lowest career stroke average at 73.99. Over his fi rst three years, Scodro has earned 12 top-10 fi nishes while also earning seven top-fi ve results. In addition to holding the third-lowest career stroke average, Scodro also claims the sixth-lowest single-season mark after recording a 73.30 last year.

“Max has done a tremendous job for us throughout his career at Notre Dame,” remarked Kubinski. “He is a multiple winner, both individually and in our team victories. He has tremendous physical skills and has grown in terms of emotional maturity immeasurably. I’m proud of his progress. Really, the only thing he must improve, other than the normal continued mat-uration and development, is his wedge play. If he turns all those shots from 40 yards or so out to 120 yards into a great strength, he’ll have a chance to be very successful at the professional level. He drives the ball well, hits solid irons, has a knack for getting up and down from the most diffi cult spots and has become a very solid putter, especially inside six feet. He just needs to make the so-called routine up-and-downs become routine and start to hit his pitches and

Deep, Tournament-Experienced Squad Hopes For Bigger And Better In 2011-12All fi ve members of Irish rotation return in hopes of NCAA qualifi cation.

Tom Usher (pictured), along with fellow seniors Max Scodro and Chris Walker, should provide bountiful experience to a tournament-savvy rotation, as the three of them have combined to play in 78 tournaments as part of the squad’s fi ve-man rotation.

wedges closer to the hole. I think he’ll do just that. Max isn’t afraid of a challenge or of working at some-thing. I think he’ll enjoy a memorable season.”

Chris Walker continued to build on his confi dence amongst the Irish rotation last year during his second full season in the top fi ve. He, much like Scodro, brings with him a resume worthy of the respect of the under-classmen, having earned three top-10 fi nishes over his career including two top-fi ve results. After putting together a sophomore season that fi nished with a 75.23 stroke average and 21 of 26 rounds (80.8%) counting toward the team total, Walker upped the ante to a 73.93 stroke average last season with 24 of 30 rounds (80.0%) registering toward the team count. The Woodlands, Texas, native also earned all-BIG EAST honors for the fi rst time in his career, ending last sea-son with a total of nine under- or even-par rounds, including two of those rounds breaking 70.

“Chris has grown a great deal the last couple of years,” Kubinski stated. “He has matured. He has gained valuable experience. He already had a lot going for him from a physical tools standpoint. To see his maturation though, in so many areas, has been rewarding. This is a big season for him. I’ve always thought he could be a prominent player on the national level. This is the season I expect he’ll put it all together. He must start to feel as confi dently in him-self as I do in him and draw strength from that. He needs to be more routine-oriented, improving his golf swing through constants, feel and repetition more than anything else. He’ll also need to become a great short iron player, really developing those scoring irons. As he does these things, there won’t be many players who can beat Chris.”

Tom Usher rounds out the trio of tournament veter-ans for the Irish, having played in a total of 20 tourna-ments including all eight tournaments to begin the year before his junior year was cut short due to a hand injury. Usher has continued to grow into the rotation for the Irish, leading the team at three separate tourna-ments as well as claiming his fi rst medalist fi nish of his career at the St. Mary’s Invitational with a four-under par (214) tournament. Arguably his strongest cam-paign to-date with the Irish, Usher fi nished the year with a 74.70 stroke average while also earning fi ve top-25 fi nishes of the eight tournaments he participated in.

“Tom has done an outstanding job for us in every way,” Kubinski explained. “He leads the way in the classroom and, often, on the course. He just needs to stay healthy. Whether by a freak accident in the weight room or a pre-existing condition that required surgery, Tom has lost time to injury a couple of times in his collegiate career. Yet, to his credit, in both cases he has worked extremely hard to not only get back but to keep improving as a player. He has so many positives in his game. He also has great, great com-petitiveness and a champion’s will. I’m looking for-ward to watching Tom ready himself for a full senior campaign and all the opportunities he’ll enjoy.”

While not having played extensively in his fi rst year with the program, Ryan Coughlin will still be looked to as a source of knowledge for those golfers who will be new to the team this season. After walking on to the team last season, Coughlin took part in only the Fighting Irish Gridiron Golf Classic but showed tre-mendous grit at that tournament, improving every round of the event that culminated in him carding a 71 (+1) in his fi nal round.

“Ryan is a feisty player,” Kubinski said. “Whatever improvements he needs to make from a physical standpoint, he often makes up for through his com-petitiveness and scrambling.”

JUNIOR:No one on the Irish roster enjoyed more of a break-

out season in 2010-11 than Paul McNamara III, the lone junior on the Irish roster. After playing in only two tournaments during his freshman campaign, both as an individual, he made a seamless transition into the lineup for nine events this past season, posting two team-leading eff orts. The Palos Verdes Estates, Calif., native improved on his season stroke average by a full three strokes in his second year with the team, carding a 74.30 last year compared to his 77.50 in his fi rst sea-son. The successful sophomore year also saw him register six top-25 fi nishes, three of which were top-10 results with one top-fi ve fi nish, a tie for fi fth at the Battle at the Warren. McNamara also fi nished second on the team with percentage of rounds counted as 21 of his 24 (87.5%) rounds scored toward the team total. Plenty of positive momentum awaits McNamara as he enters his third season with the team after setting an Irish NCAA record with his fi nal round 67 (-5) at the 2011 NCAA Southeast Regional.

“It’s diffi cult for me to believe Paul is already head-ing into his junior year,” Kubinski shared. “It just shows how quickly time passes and how important it is to take advantage of the opportunities given. Paul has

certainly done this. After not traveling with us as a freshman, Paul grabbed a spot in our season opener at Kiawah and played his way into the fi nal pairing, fi ring a 68 in round two. He has exhibited a propensity for fi ring sub 70 rounds on challenging golf courses, whether at Kiawah, Bayonet or at our NCAA Regional. More importantly though, from a developmental standpoint, Paul did more this year off the course to make himself better than anything he could do on the course. I’m quite proud of him. He has matured a great deal. The lessons he learned this season in terms of discipline and responsibility will always serve him well. I’m looking forward to watching Paul blossom this season on the golf course. Everything is in place for him to do so.”

SOPHOMORES:One of the instant impacts to the Irish rotation

came in the form of Niall Platt. The rising sophomore out of Santa Barbara, Calif., earned a spot in the Irish rotation for the fi rst event of the season and didn’t look back, playing in all 11 tournaments and parlaying that into being named BIG EAST Freshman of the Year. Platt fi nished his fi rst season with a 73.40 stroke aver-age while leading the team in most number of under- or even-par rounds (14) on the season and tying for the most under-par rounds (8) with Scodro. He also saw 25 of his 30 total rounds (83.3%) counted toward the count-four total while ending two tournaments as the team’s best fi nisher and tying for a third at the Lone Star Invitational. Overall, he fi nished his fi rst year with the program earning seven top-25 fi nishes, fi ve top-10 results and three top-fi ve tournaments, led by his tie for second at the Invite at Kiawah to open the season. Platt, much like McNamara, looks to carry over a fruitful end to last season as he set Irish NCAA records in both best 54-hole stroke score (210, -6) as well as highest individual fi nish (T-10th) at the 2011 NCAA Southeast Regional.

“I can’t speak to the history of Notre Dame golf but I can off er that I think we would be hard-pressed to fi nd a freshman who accomplished much more than Niall did this past season,” Kubinski recalled. “Whether you’re talking about multiple top-10 fi nishes against strong national fi elds, including the NCAA Regional, the fact that he was second on our team in scoring for the season or even his 65 in competition, what Niall accomplished this past season is very impressive. I marvel at his levelheaded, calculated approach to everything he does, whether school work, practice or competition. He has a well-rounded game. He drives the ball very accurately, hits solid iron shots and excels around the greens, especially with the putter. I’d put Niall up against anyone in a putting contest. The excit-ing thing though is how much confi dence he has

gained, in regard to what he can accomplish, through-out the season. Niall needs to get stronger and con-tinue to put himself into contending position to gain more experience but he has the tools to be successful each and every week.”

While not making the immediate impact that Platt made, fellow rising sophomores Andrew Carreon

and Andrew Lane each contributed when called upon last season and will look to climb into the rota-tion at some point during the 2011-12 campaign. Lane concluded his freshman year having played in four tournaments for the Irish, including getting a taste of playing in the rotation at the Notre Dame versus Yale Cup, carding a pair of 78’s to fi nish 12-over par. He concluded the campaign with a 76.67 stroke average and earned his best fi nish in his fi nal event of the season, earning a share of 16th at the Battle at the Warren. Carreon took to the course in each of the teams home events – Fighting Irish Gridiron Golf Classic, Battle at the Warren – gaining valuable experi-ence at the collegiate level while also garnering expe-rience at the team’s home venue. He fi nished the year with a 77.25 stroke average.

“Andrew (Lane) came in as a top recruit for us and I believe he’ll graduate as a top player for us,” Kubinski shared. “He earned a few opportunities to travel with the starting fi ve as an individual competitor, which was important. He gained a good feel for what is to be expected, as he works his way into our starting lineup. He’ll work hard over the summer to gain consistency in his ball striking. I’d like to see Andrew learn to shape the ball one way to the point it’s a given before he branches out to work the ball both ways. My grandfa-ther always called it a ‘bread and butter’ shot. When Andrew feels comfortable in that way, he’ll take off as a player. His short game touch and feel is outstanding. He’s a great putter. Maybe most importantly though, he’s a great competitor. When he gets into the mind-set of competing, blocking out all the typical distrac-tive thoughts players often have, he can really play. There will be a point where we’re happy to put Andrew up against anyone, knowing he’ll be success-ful. His desire and hard work will get him there. I’m excited to see him make that move this season.

“We’ve been fortunate to have a player like Andrew Carreon on our team,” Kubinski continued. “’AC’ is such a hard worker, dedicated to improving his golf game while also setting a high bar in the classroom. I say this often about all of our guys but AC is another class individual. He represents Notre Dame well. He has made strong improvements in his technique, the result of his tireless work. He also has become a better putter. I like the improvements Andrew made this season, including getting stronger. I’m excited to see what he can do this coming season.”

FRESHMEN:A three-man freshman class comes in during the

2011-12 season to look to fi ll the gap left by the three graduating seniors, all of which hope to challenge for early lineup time to begin their respective careers.

Patrick Grahek, a three-time captain of his team at Milton High School in Alpharetta, Ga., enters the Irish roster as a very decorated golfer while ranking as the 97th-best high school player from the class of 2011, according to Golfweek. His high school career has seen him named to the Georgia High School Golf Coaches Association (GHSGCA) all-state team in both his junior and senior years as well as claiming the Georgia high school state championship his junior year after carding a four-under par score. He also enjoyed tremendous success on the AJGA circuit, recording nine top-25 fi nishes including three top-10 results, two top-fi ve fi nishes and a title at the AJGA Medicus Jr. All-Star tournament in Cleveland, Ohio.

Peyton Vitter joins the Irish after claiming the state championship in each his junior and senior years while attending Jesuit High School in New Orleans, La. As a result he was chosen to his all-conference and all-city teams during each of his four years, while also earning all-state honors his sophomore through senior years. Playing as his team’s No. 1 or No. 2 golfer for the entirety of his high school time, Vitter was named the MVP his sophomore year and was selected as team captain during his senior campaign.

The highest-ranked recruit of the class, Tyler

Wingo enters the Irish program with plenty of AJGA success to his name as well. The Fairfax, Va., native, who ranks as the 39th-best prospect in the 2011 high school graduating class according to Golfweek, secured a victory at the AJGA event at Kingsmill, card-ing a fi ve-under par (208) while leading wire-to-wire. He earned all-state honors each of his four years at Paul VI Catholic High School and earned All-America honors during his senior campaign, a year that saw him capture the Virginia State Catholic individual championship for the third time in his career.

“This is not only a very, very talented class for us but also an interesting one,” Kubinski explained. “It’s our fi rst entering class without a California native in some time. In fact, it’s our fi rst exclusively Southeastern class in my time here. It’s also a class that has won tourna-ments, which is important. Whether AJGA events or State High School Championships, attracting winning players is what we are interested in. I wouldn’t be surprised to see any or all of our incoming freshmen traveling with us at some point. They’re a great group, one I’m excited to have the opportunity to coach.”

A new tradition began in 2006 when the University of Notre Dame played host to the inaugural Fighting Irish Gridiron Golf Classic at the Warren Golf Course. Created by Notre Dame head coach Jim Kubinski, the Gridiron Golf Classic features a fun-fi lled weekend; blending the best of college golf with the unique experiences of a Notre Dame home football game, a visit to the College Football Hall of Fame and a catered pre-tournament banquet.

Teams for this event are selected based upon two important criteria. Those schools that are among the very best academic institutions in the country are cross-referenced with the top golf programs in America to identify those teams with an elite blend of excellence in academics and athletics.

For more information on this one-of-a-kind tournament, or to learn more about sponsorship opportunities, contact Kubinski in the Notre Dame men’s golf offi ce at (574) 631-5907 or [email protected].

Below is a complete listing of the past Fighting Irish Gridiron Golf Classic team results, as well as a look at how the Irish fared individually.

(opened Sept. 30, 2006)

The Robert and Marilyn Rolfs Family All-Season Varsity Golf Facility, which is located at the Warren Golf Course on the northeast corner of the University of Notre Dame campus, opened on Sept. 30, 2006 with a private dedication ceremony. The $2.1 million, 10,333-square foot facility is used by both the Irish men’s and women’s golf programs.

A 5,000-square foot indoor short game

area, that includes a putting green, chip

and pitch area along with a practice

bunker allows the student-athletes the

ability to practice their short game

year-round on campus.

One of the nicest features of the facility are the six hitting stations that are located within the building that lead out to the Warren Golf Course driving range, allowing players to work on their swings in all weather conditions. Incorporated within the stations is state-of-the-art video equipment to give players and coaches instant feedback on players’ swing techniques.

Rolfs Family All-Season Varsity Golf Facility

The date of May 1, 2000, marked the beginning of a new era in the history of Notre Dame golf as the University unveiled the championship-caliber William K. and Natalie O. Warren Golf Course at Notre Dame.

Since its opening date, the course has been hailed as one of the best courses in America by Golf Digest and has been featured in Links Magazine and Golf Digest as a must-play venue.

Through the generous donation of Notre Dame alumnus and Tulsa, Okla., resident Bill Warren (’56), the University features an impressive 18-hole golf course, located a stone’s throw away from the northeast cor-ner of campus. Constructed in a heavily wooded area, the facility is bordered by Douglas Road to the south, Juniper Road to the west, Ironwood Drive to the east and the Indiana Toll Road to the north.

Since its inception, the Warren has played host to many marquee events. Most recently, the Warren played host to the NCAA Central Regional Championship on May 5-7, 2011. The Warren also was the host site for the 2010 NCAA Men’s Central Regional. The course also will continue to play host to the men’s Fighting Irish Gridiron Golf Classic Tournament.

The course was designed by the Austin, Texas-based architectural team of Coore and Crenshaw, headed by Bill Coore and PGA Tour veteran Ben Crenshaw. Coore began his design and construction career in 1972 with noted course architect Pete Dye and formed his own company in 1982 before joining forces with Crenshaw four years later.

Founded in 1986, Coore and Crenshaw has estab-lished a reputation for creating courses based on tra-ditional, strategic golf, including: the Plantation Course at the Kapalua Resort in Maui, Hawaii; Cuscowilla Golf Club in Greensboro, Ga.; Sand Hills Golf Club in Mullen, Neb.; Barton Creek Club in Austin; the New Town Golf Club in Indonesia; Talking Stick in Scottsdale, Ariz.; and the East Hampton Golf Club on Long Island. Most recently, they designed the highly acclaimed Bandon Dunes in Oregon.

Coore and Crenshaw also has undertaken several renovation projects, including the Southern Hills Country Club (in Tulsa) and the Prairie Dunes Golf Club (located in Kansas). The fi rm oversaw nine-hole addi-tions to the Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa and the Onion Creek Country Club in Austin.

The existing Notre Dame Memorial Golf Course, located on the southwest side of campus, served as an 18-hole facility for the Notre Dame community until 1993, when the back nine was lost due to the addition of four campus dormitories and several athletic fi elds. The 70-year-old University course remains a conve-nient nine-hole facility available to the campus com-munity.

“After losing the back nine of the existing course, Mr. Warren came forward with an interest in develop-ing a new 18-hole, championship course,” said Notre Dame special assistant to the president Rev. E. William Beauchamp, C.S.C. ”It then became apparent that this was a project worth pursuing.”

Since Mr. Warren was familiar with the team of Coore and Crenshaw through its work in Tulsa, it was a very natural fi t.

“We are very grateful for Mr. Warren’s generosity,” said Beauchamp. “Such a championship-level course allows our golf teams to be more competitive on a national level. The course is intended to benefi t the entire Notre Dame community while still retaining the existing course as a nine-hole facility for instructional purposes.”

Course construction began on March 1, 1997, with the fi rst actual phases of dirt movement beginning two months later. Many of the day-to-day tasks were coordinated by the University’s department of facility engineering, under the ultimate supervision of associ-ate vice president for business operations Jim Lyphout. The project also was coordinated by former associate athletic director Bubba Cunningham, who had responsibilities for athletic facility and fi nancial aff airs at the time.

Final construction was overseen by Doug Marsh, director of the Notre Dame facilities engineering offi ce. Assisting in this monumental task was Butch Layman, a construction administrator in the facilities engineering offi ce.

South Bend-based Rieth Reilly Construction was contracted to handle the movement of approximately 100,000 yards of dirt. Another local company, Ziolkowski Construction, handled construction of the course’s buildings and other structures.

Final details of the course were directed by Tom Beck, construction superintendent for Coore and Crenshaw, and his associate Jeff Bradley. Kim Hocker,

Warren Golf Course Earns Top-15 Ranking From Golf Digest

The University of Notre Dame's Warren Golf Course has been chosen as one of the top 15 college courses in the nation, according to a feature article in the September 2005 issue of Golf Digest. The magazine used a variety of criteria in rating the various layouts, including shot values, resistance to scoring, design variety, memorability, aesthetics, conditioning, ambience and bonus walking points. The Warren Golf Course was ranked 15th in the country and is one of the newest courses on the 2005 Golf Digest list.

The ranking from Golf Digest is only one of honors for the Warren Golf Course in its brief history. Here's a partial list of the accolades the Notre Dame layout has received since opening in 2000:

• Annually named as one of the nation’s ‘Top-100 Places You Can Play’ by Golf Digest• Top-15 Collegiate Golf Course - Golf Digest 2010• Second-best public golf course in Indiana - Golfweek, 2007• Third-best public golf course in Indiana - Golfweek, 2006• Third-best public golf course in Indiana - Golf Digest, 2006• Fifth-best public golf course in Indiana - Golfweek, 2011• 12th-best collegiate facility in the country - Golfweek, 2005• Golf Magazine, March 2001: "Top 10 You Can Play" -- honorable mention selection (one of only 35 courses in the country chosen)• Golf and Travel Magazine, August 2001: 40 Best Daily Fee Courses: No. 33 in United States (only course in the state of Indiana ranked)• Best New Courses of 2000: No. 5 in Aff ordable Public Division - Golf Digest• Chicagoland Golf Magazine: Five-star rating (highest)• Certifi ed International Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary

the now former golf course superintendent of the Warren Golf Course and the existing University golf course, and his dedicated staff added their expertise to the successful fi nish of the project.

Final construction – completed in the fall of 1999 – included grading and seeding of the driving range, construction of tee areas around the clubhouse, com-pletion of the many strategically-placed bunkers, overseeding of the fairways and roughs, and the defi ning of the course during the “grow-in” period. A number of trees and ornamental grasses were planted to add fi nishing touches.

Brian Godfrey was named the fi rst PGA director of golf and general manager for the Notre Dame Golf Courses in October of 1998. In 2003, John Foster assumed the post of General Manager and Head Golf Professional at the Warren. His duties at the Warren Golf Course include overseeing the operation of both courses, in addition to pro shops, clubhouse and driv-ing range management. He coordinates course use to balance and meet the requirements of the varsity golf teams, course members, faculty, staff , students and the public. Foster also maintains the golf facility bud-gets as well as oversees staff training.

The design of the Warren Golf Course is reminiscent of the classic, walkable Irish and American courses built in the late 1800s and early 1900s, with short dis-tances between the greens and tees. Winding its way through 250 wooded acres, the course incorporates traditional elements of the great golf courses of the early 1900s and – unlike many modern layouts – is built on subtleties rather than special eff ects.

“Players have been impressed with the design,” said

Godfrey after the course opened in 2000. “From the dramatic bunkering to the strategic designs of the greens, it is challenging and enjoyable for golfers of all abilities.”

Distinguishing features include: rectangular tee boxes that provide a classic start to each hole; undu-lating greens of varying shapes constructed in a push-up style that slopes from back to front; false fronts to greens that allow a golfer to run the ball or fl y it to the flag; strategically-placed bunkers that visually enhance each hole while challenging players to pro-ceed with caution.

The course runs 7,020 yards from the back tees, 6,003 from the middle and 5,302 from the forward tees. It includes 88 bunkers scattered among the 18 holes, and water comes into play on six holes. The course has bent grass fairways and fescue grass rough, playing surfaces found at some of today’s top facilities. Though the course originally did not origi-nally play with a par, it currently plays at par 71.

“We maintain the course in a dry and fi rm manner that will be true to the vision of the architects,” said Godfrey. “Many older courses required the player to have both the ability to run the ball along the ground as well as being able to fl y it to the fl ag. A fi rmer sur-face allows for both options. This type of maintenance plan also requires fewer chemical applications and less water, which will allow for an environmentally-friendly course.” The designers received full permits to realign the existing Juday Creek that runs through the course and environmental safeguards were a priority in design and construction. A new creek channel was opened, resulting in a complete created habitat. The

creek winds through the fi nishing holes, which are noted for heavy woods and change of elevations – providing a beautiful, challenging completion to the inward nine. Constant monitoring of the creek ensures a healthy and natural environment.

Some 4,400 native hardwood trees and shrubs were planted to increase the stream’s canopy cover. Approximately 360 large boulders, along with gravel and logs, were added to the slopes and bed to enhance fi sh habitat while a permanent sediment trap was installed. A combination of pest manage-ment, drainage and fi ltration techniques minimizes the use and impact of fertilizers and pesticides while 2,200 feet of new shaded stream course were created to relocate the stream from the golf course proper.

Environmental engineers J.F. New & Associates directed these aspects of the project, and Ronald A. Hellenthal, professor of biological sciences at Notre Dame and Gillen Director of its Environmental Research Center, reviewed the plans and continues to monitor the creek.

Two lakes add to the challenge of the course, with one stationed between the third and fourth holes while another provides a hazard from the tee of the 17th hole. Water comes into play with the existing Juday Creek winding through holes 16 and 18 while additional creeks were added on holes 10 and 18. The 7,000-foot clubhouse – designed by Moake-Park Group Inc. of Fort Wayne, Ind., in a French Country style – was completed in June of ’99. The building matches the period of the course architecture (early 1900s), with a classic “clinker” style brick exterior. The design is completed by copper cupolas, dormers and trim, a slate roof and an enclosed porch. Brick fi re-places are located on both sides of the building, which welcomes the University community to venture over for lunch, meetings or shopping.

The clubhouse is open to the public and houses some of the fi nest in men’s and women’s golf apparel, with both the Warren Golf Course logo as well as tra-ditional Notre Dame merchandise and souvenirs. The Warren Grille, which is operated by Notre Dame Food Services, serves traditional golf course fare as well as specialty items and sandwiches.

Warren Golf Course Recognized For Environmental Excellence

The William K. and Natalie O. Warren Golf Course has achieved designation as a “Certifi ed Audobon Cooperative Sanctuary” by the Audobon Cooperative Sanctuary System (ACSS), the educational division of Audobon International.

The Warren Course was the sixth course in Indiana and the 335th in the world to achieve this honor.“The Warren Golf Course has shown strong commitment to its environmental program. They are to be

commended for their eff orts to provide sanctuary for wildlife on the golf course property,” said Joellen Zeh, staff ecologist for the ACSS.

“To reach certifi cation, a course must demonstrate that they are maintaining a high degree of environ-mental quality in a number of areas,” said Zeh.

“We are extremely proud to be certifi ed Audobon Cooperative Sanctuary,” said Kim Hocker, the now former golf course superintendent at the Warren Golf Course. ”From the beginning, it was the goal of the University of Notre Dame to create an environmentally-sound golf course. In addition, the overwhelming positive response from golfers and the local community has made our eff orts worthwhile.”

The fairway bunkers on the 216-yard 11th hole provide an architectural deception, in that – from the tee – the front bunkers appear to be located on the sides of the green when they, in fact, are 20 yards short of it (bunkers also are located on the sides of the green).

A view from the 372-yard 1st hole. A slight dogleg to the left, this hole gives you an idea of what is to come with the rough look of the bunkers on the left to the well protected, small green.

Above is a look from the picturesque tee at the 16th hole. Overlooking Juday Creek from the elevated tee, the hole ascends up and to the left to a tiny, undulating green that is very well protected by classic Coore- and Crenshaw-designed bunkers.

The view from behind the 414-yard eighth hole looks to a green that is rectangular in shape and slopes dramatically from the rear, with an open front that allows either a bump-and-run shot or one that is fl own to the green.

The 15th green is located just a stone’s throw from the clubhouse, yet the building is obscured by a distinctive variety of trees that rim the putting green.

The 197-yard 14th is one of Ben Crenshaw’s favorite holes on the Warren Golf Course. Noted for its old-Scottish style, the hole includes an elevated green and two bunkers to the right of the green that cannot be seen from the tee (unlike those to the left of the green). The hole is even more scenic when framed by full foliage in the surrounding trees.

This is a look from the fairway of the 436-yard sixth hole. The green is guarded by two trees and has a narrow entrance that is protected by bunkers both left and right. The Starter’s Cottage is visible in the right side of the picture.

The eastside back porch of the clubhouse (above) overlooks the fi nishing holes and welcomes golfers from the nearby 18th green.

The fi nishing hole’s tee shot (above) must carry the new stretch of Juday Creek and bend left to the green. The entire left side of the 18th fairway is bordered by the bed of the former Juday Creek, which has been fi lled to form a new stream.

The westside entrance to the clubhouse sits beyond the ninth green, which is noted for its back-to-front slope and is surrounded by deceptive and treacherous bunkering.

The elevated tee from the longest hole on the course, the 480-yard 17th hole, overlooks a pond to the left and the large bunkers in the bank of the hill, leading to a sharp dogleg-left approach to the green.

The ninth hole, as seen from one of the Warren Golf Course's distinctive rectangular tee boxes, is beautifully framed by trees, and the clubhouse is located behind the green.

A picturesque view from the tee box greets golfers at the dogleg-left seventh hole (398 yards), with a solitary tree adding some danger down the left side of the fairway.

The 495-yard 10th hole is another long hole that a big hitter may try to reach in two. Watch out for the creek that runs diagonally across the entire width of the fairway in front of the green.

Coaching


Head Coach

JimKubinski

One of the nation’s top golf teachers, Jim

Kubinski completed his seventh season as head

coach of the University of Notre Dame Fighting

Irish men’s golf team in 2010-11. Having

assumed the post on Jan. 28, 2005, Kubinski is

just the sixth head coach in the 80-year history

of the Irish men’s golf program. He inherited

and subsequently added to a storied tradition

that includes the 1944 NCAA national champi-

onship, 19 top-10 NCAA Championship finishes

and 34 NCAA postseason appearances.

In his first seven seasons leading the Irish,

Kubinski has won three BIG EAST Championships

(2005, 2006 & 2011) and added two BIG EAST

runner-up finishes (2007 & 2010). He also has

helped Notre Dame to a total of nine tourna-

ment championships and his players have col-

lectively earned five PING All-Midwest Region

honors and 17 All-BIG EAST accolades.

It didn’t take long for Kubinski to make his

mark at Notre Dame. In his first tournament at

the helm of the Irish, just one month after set-

ting foot on campus, Kubinski guided Notre

Dame to the championship of the 2005 NOKIA

Sugar Bowl Tulane Invitational, winning the

title on the first hole of a sudden death playoff

against UNC-Wilmington. It was the first of two

tournament crowns in the 2004-05 season for

Notre Dame and made Kubinski the first Irish

men’s golf coach since 1961 to win the opening

event of his career. That season, Rev. Clarence

Durbin, C.S.C., led the Irish to a 23.5-6.5 dual-

match win over Western Michigan.

That was the start of what has been a solid

seven-year run for the Notre Dame skipper,

who piloted the Irish to consecutive BIG EAST

Conference titles in 2005 and 2006, and back-

to-back NCAA regional appearances both years,

before accomplishing the same feat again in

2011. What’s more, Notre Dame has regularly

collected votes in the Golf World Top 25

coaches’ poll and has risen as high as No. 12 in

the Golfweek rankings (Oct. 2, 2005)

under Kubinski. He has an overall record

of 497-464-17 (.517).

Under Kubinski’s guidance, Notre Dame

has registered 33 top-five finishes, includ-

ing eight tournament titles, two of which

came in sudden-death playoffs. The Irish

also have carded the top-six single-season

stroke averages in school history under

Kubinski, including a 291.50 in 2010-11,

the best mark in program history. In addi-

tion, Notre Dame has fired 11 of the top 12

single-round scores in school history,

including impressive final-round postsea-

son efforts at the 2005 NCAA Central

Regional (282, +2) and the 2006 BIG EAST

Championship (school-record 272, -16).

The latter score highlighted a 12-stroke

comeback victory over Louisville, the sec-

ond-best rally in the storied history of the

Irish men’s golf program, and led to Notre

Dame’s selection as the Golfweek National

Team of the Week (May 1, 2006) for the

first time in program history.

Individually, Kubinski has produced impres-

sive results with several Irish players in a short

span of time. Cole Isban became the first three-

time PING All-Midwest Region selection (2005-

07) in program history under Kubinski’s

tutelage, and graduated in May 2007 as the

school record holder for single-season stroke

average (72.71 in 2006-07) and is still the pro-

gram’s career stroke average leader with a

73.76 mark.

Josh Sandman, a 2008 PING All-Midwest

Region selection and two-time all-BIG EAST

pick, took up where Isban left off. Working with

Kubinski, Sandman posted a 73.90 career stroke

average in 111 rounds for the second best mark

in program history. He also broke new ground,

becoming the first Notre Dame golfer ever cho-

sen as an individual qualifier for NCAA regional

play, earning a berth in the 2008 NCAA Central

Regional. He came back from injuries to play an

integral role with the Irish in 2009-10. Sandman

won the 2009 Fighting Irish Gridiron Golf

Head Coach

Seven Years

Springfield College ‘93

Classic for his first career win and graduated

with four of the top-30 single season stroke

averages in the Irish record books.

Doug Fortner, a 2010 graduate, also experi-

enced great success under Kubinski’s tutelage.

He played 117 rounds with the Irish, carded a

74.59 career stroke average (eighth-best since

1954) and saw 102 of his rounds counted

towards team scoring. As a senior, Fortner was

one of four unanimous selections to the 2010

All-BIG EAST team as he became just the third

player in program history to earn all-confer-

ence honors on three occasions - joining Mark

Baldwin and Cole Isban in that select group. He

also fired a seven-under par 64 in the opening

round of the 2010 FAU Spring Break

Championship to tie Baldwin for the lowest to-

par round in school history.

Even though Sandman and Fortner, staples

of the lineup over Notre Dame’s past few sea-

sons, have graduated, Kubinski has proved

adept at restocking the Irish roster with talent.

Max Scodro, Chris Walker and Tom Usher

became the top players for the Irish in 2010-11,

highlighted by Scodro earning medalist honors

at the 2011 BIG EAST Championship (212, -1)

and earning BIG EAST Player of the Year, the first

time any Irish golfer has received the honor.

Along with Scodro, Walker and BIG EAST

Freshman of the Year Niall Platt earned all-BIG

EAST honors for the year. The trio played in

every round for the Irish on the season. Usher

was the other Irish player to earn medalist hon-

ors during the season, taking home the title at

the St. Mary’s Invitational. With the experience

of Scodro, Walker and Usher augmented by the

talent of Platt, Kubinski will look to lead the

Irish to another historic season in 2011-12.

Kubinski was nominated for the 2007 GOLF

Magazine Top 100 Teachers List, honoring the

nation’s preeminent golf instructors. Previous

winners of the prestigious designation include

Hank Haney (former teacher for 10-time

PGA Tour Player of the Year Tiger Woods), Butch

Harmon (swing coach for PGA Tour great and

two-time Masters champion Phil Mickelson)

and David Leadbetter (legendary coach for

such PGA Tour luminaries and major tourna-

ment champions as Ernie Els, Nick Faldo and

Greg Norman). After leading his team back to

the NCAAs in 2011, Kubinski was selected as

the BIG EAST Coach of Year for the first time in

his head coaching tenure with the Irish.

Kubinski was a three-year golf letterman and

two-year team captain at Springfield (Mass.)

College before graduating in 1993. A two-time

all-Northeast 10 Conference selection in 1991

and 1992, he also received the Springfield

College Maroon Club Award for academic and

athletic achievement in 1992. His playing expe-

rience continued on the North Atlantic Tour

where he tied for sixth place at the `95 Boston

Open, and he also competed in the Carolinas

Section PGA.

Born May 4, 1970 in Springfield, Mass.,

Kubinski and his wife, Sarah, live in Granger,

Ind. The couple has two children. Their daugh-

ter, Kelly, was born in September of 2007 and

enjoys singing the Notre Dame Victory March.

They celebrated the birth of their son, James, in

May 2010.

Assistant Coach

Support Staff

Steve Colnitis

Assistant Coach

Six Years

Notre Dame ‘05

Steve Colnitis, a member of two BIG EAST

Conference championship teams and two NCAA

Central Regional qualifying squads at Notre

Dame from 2001-05, completed his sixth year as

an assistant coach for the Fighting Irish in 2010-

11. Colnitis (pronounced coal-NIGHT-iss) aids in

many of the day-to-day operations of the men’s

golf program, including recruiting, practice plan-

ning and travel scheduling.

In his six seasons on the Notre Dame staff,

Colnitis helped guide the Irish to the 2006 and

2011 BIG EAST Conference titles and the corre-

sponding NCAA regional berths, as well as BIG

EAST runner-up finishes in 2007 and 2010. He

also was instrumental in helping Notre Dame to

the top six single-season stroke averages in

school history (school-record 291.50 in 2010-11,

292.97 in 2005-06, 294.41 in 2009-10, 295.71 in

2006-07, 295.27 in 2007-08 and 297.97 in 2008-

09).

What’s more, Colnitis is putting his stamp on

the Irish program as a recruiter. His latest success

can be seen with the past three incoming

freshman classes, which included Future

Collegians World Tour (FCWT) first-team

All-Americans Max Scodro (who also gar-

nered all-BIG EAST honors each of his first

three years at Notre Dame as well as BIG

EAST Player of the Year as a junior) and

Chris Walker, along with ‘09-10 newcomer

Paul McNamara III, who was an

International Junior Golf Tour (IJGT) first-

team All-American in 2007.

Along with head coach Jim Kubinksi,

Colnitis added a deep three-player class for

the 2010-11 campaign that included

Andrew Carreon, Andrew Lane and Niall

Platt. Platt was named BIG EAST Freshman

of the Year as well as earning all-BIG EAST

honors in his rookie season, which con-

cluded with a six-under 210 at the NCAA

Southeast Regional. Colinitis’ recruiting

success continues with the addition of

Tyler Wingo, a two-time Virginia state

champion, Patrick Grahek, an AJGA

Scholastic All-American and 5A Georgia

High School Golf Coaches Association

(GHSGCA) all-state selection in 2011, as

well as Peyton Vitter who will all be joining the

Irish roster in the fall of 2011.

“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with Steve

these last six years,” head coach Jim Kubinski said.

“As he’s grown within the job, he’s added more

and more to our program. I know we all respect

him as a person. It’s also especially helpful for me

to be able to bounce ideas off Steve and know

that he has a great pulse on our players and the

college game. We’re fortunate to have him.”

Colnitis joined the Irish coaching staff in 2005

following a four-year career on the Notre Dame

men’s golf team, earning a pair of monograms

along the way. He competed in 13 tournaments

during his career, posting a 77.86 stroke average,

and served as a tri-captain for the Irish in 2004-

05, helping Notre Dame earn its second-consec-

utive BIG EAST title and a return trip to the NCAA

Central Regional (where the Irish wound up only

two shots shy of advancing to the NCAA finals).

Colnitis graduated from Notre Dame in May

2005, earning his bachelor’s degree in marketing

from the Mendoza College of Business. He also

garnered Dean’s List honors during the fall 2004

semester. Born September 15, 1982, in Baltimore,

Md., Colnitis now resides in South Bend.

Season in Review

Max Scodro put together a junior season to remember, carding a career-low 73.30 stroke average in

2010-11 while claiming BIG EAST Championship medalist honors and being the first Notre Dame

recipient of BIG EAST Player of the Year. His career stroke average of 73.99 ranks third all-time

behind only Cole Isban (73.76) and Josh Sandman (73.90).


Season Notebook

Individuals Shine In 2010-11The 2010-11 golf season saw eight top-10 finishes

by the highest Irish finisher at a tournament. Notre

Dame placed at least one golfer in the top 10 in each

of the fall tournaments with five of those being top-

five finishes and two being outright victories.

Tom Usher claimed the title at the St. Mary’s

Invitational in October, while Max Scodro won the BIG

EAST Championship to conclude the season. The

remaining top-five finishes came at The Invitational at

Kiawah (Niall Platt, T-2nd), The Firestone Invitational

(Max Scodro, 3rd), Lone Star Invitational (Chris Walker

and Niall Platt, T-3rd), the Battle at the Warren (Jeff

Chen and Max Scodro, T-2nd) and to conclude the

season at the NCAA Southeast Regional (Niall Platt

T-10th).

Torrid Fall SeasonThe Irish enjoyed one of their most successful fall

seasons, finishing runner-up or better in each of the

five tournaments. The string began with second-place

finishes at The Invitational at Kiawah (12 teams),

Fighting Irish Gridiron Golf Classic (14 teams), The

Firestone Invitational (13 teams) and the Lone Star

Invitational (12 teams), culminating in the Irish

winning the final tournament of the fall season, the St.

Mary’s Invitational (15 teams), by a full 20 shots over

host St. Mary's.

How Low Can You Go….AgainIn each of the past five seasons leading into the

2010-11 campaign, the Notre Dame team has recorded

one of the top-five season stroke averages. This season,

however, the Irish set the bar by a wide margin for

lowest stroke average after finishing the year with a

291.50 mark, besting the second-lowest total by nearly

a stroke and a half set back in ’05-06 at 292.97.

Two individuals, Max Scodro and Niall Platt, also

fired a pair of the lowest single-season stroke averages

in program history as Scodro’s 73.30 mark falls in as

the sixth-lowest all-time, while Platt’s 73.40 ranks tied

for eighth. Scodro also remained in third for career

stroke average, but decreased his mark from 74.36 to

73.99 after the successful junior season. He trails only

Cole Isban (73.76) and Josh Sandman (73.90) on the

prestigious list.

BIG EAST Champs Again!In the team’s last tournament before learning its

NCAA fate, Notre Dame returned to the top of the BIG

EAST Conference, winning the conference tournament

for the seventh time in program history and first time

since ’05-06. Max Scodro led the charge for the Irish,

finishing as the tournament’s individual medalist with

a 54-hole score of 212 (-1).

Scodro’s under-par score represented the lone total

to break par of the 60 individuals in the tournament

and gave the Irish their first outright medalist since

Mark Baldwin topped the charts in a rain-shortened

tournament back in ’04-05. In addition to Scodro, all

four remaining Irish players finished in the top 35 with

freshman Niall Platt (T-6th) and sophomore Paul

McNamara III (T-10th) also placing in the top 10.

Notre Dame ended the tournament with a 54-hole

total of 876 (+24) for a six shot victory over second

place Louisville (882, +30). Villanova rounded out the

top three at 889 (+37).

Irish Notch Historic SweepNotre Dame swept the BIG EAST Conference Men’s

Golf Awards this season; the first time in the history of

the conference one school has taken home all the

awards. Head coach Jim Kubinski was named the BIG

EAST Coach of the Year. In his seventh-year at the helm

of the Irish program, Kubinski led his squad to seven

top-five finishes, including tournament titles at the St.

Mary’s Invitational, The Battle at the Warren and the

BIG EAST Championship. He also saw two players earn

medalist honors, with Scodro taking the BIG EAST title

and Tom Usher winning the St. Mary’s Invitational.

Junior Max Scodro was named the BIG EAST Player of

the Year. Scodro finished in the top-10 in seven-of-ten

tournaments on the season, while also winning the

league’s individual title. He led the conference with a

73.30 scoring average. Freshman Niall Platt took home

Freshman of the Year honors. Platt finished the regular

season with four top-five finishes and was the only

freshman to make an all-BIG EAST team. He tied for sixth

at the BIG EAST Championship, the highest of any

freshman in the field.

Scodro and Platt, along with junior Chris Walker

also were named to the 2011 all-BIG EAST team, as

each wrapped up their respective seasons with sub-

74 stroke averages on the campaign.

Along with the postseason recognition, Usher also

was twice honored by the conference during the

season. Usher was chosen as the BIG EAST Golfer of

the Week for March 23 on the heels of a 20th-place

performance at the Schenkel Invitational, while also

receiving BIG EAST Golfer of the Month for October

after claiming his first-career medalist honor at the St.

Mary’s Invitational.

NCAA Records Fall For Irish In 2011Although no one on the current Irish roster had

experienced any NCAA postseason play up until this

season, Notre Dame showed very little nerves in its

return to the NCAA Regionals.

The team wrapped up their regional in ninth place

after carding a three-day total of 865 (+1). Along the

way, several of Notre Dame’s NCAA records fell by the

wayside, including the best 54-hole finish, which was

established by the 865 score. That mark bested the old

record by a full 12 shots. Additional team records that

were set included highest overall finish, which

previously stood at 12th place back in ’05. The final-

round score of 287 also places as the second-lowest,

single-round score in NCAA play for the Irish.

Individually, several records fell as well. Freshman

Niall Platt’s individual performance of 210 (-6) goes

down as the best 54-hole score, besting Eric Deutsch’s

215 in ’05, while Platt’s share of 10th place overall also

sets a new precedent as he improved on Deutsch’s

share of 20th in the ’05 regional. Sophomore Paul

McNamara III would not be outdone, setting the bar

for the lowest single-round score in NCAA competition

after firing a third round 67 (-5) to conclude his

tournament at even par (216) and a top-25 finish. It is

the first time for the Irish that two members of their

rotation placed within the top 25 in one year at

a regional.

Junior-Laden Roster Returns Irish To NCAA Prominence In 2010-11Irish gather all major BIG EAST hardware along the way as well.

the Irish were able to claim their seventh career BIG

EAST title and fi rst since ‘05-06 to clinch an auto-

matic bid to the 2011 NCAA Championship ... Max

Scodro became the fi rst Irish player to earn medal-

ist honors at the event since Mark Baldwin did so

hole score of 212 (-1) was the only score below par

in the fi eld at the tournament ... he also becomes

the fi rst Irish golfer to ever win the tournament

when 54 holes of golf were played to determine

the champion (Bill Moore and Todd Vernon each

won the title in 36-hole format) ... Niall Platt also

enjoyed a nice fi nish, claiming a top-10 result with

his sixth-place fi nish ... he carded a three day score

of 218 (+5) ... Connor Alan Lee also returned to the

BIG EAST Championship for the second time in his

2010-11 MISCELLANEOUS RESULTS

History & Records

Steve Ratay won three tournaments, was runner-up four times, and was a two-time Academic All-

American while at Notre Dame from 1998-2002.


From a student-organized start in 1923, through the eras of two coaching priests, Notre Dame has established itself among the fi nest schools in college golf. During their fi rst 42 years alone, the Irish were victorious more than 350 times while winning the 1944 NCAA title, 13 state crowns and several tourna-ment championships.

The Early YearsGolf had its beginnings at Notre Dame in 1922,

when students from the South introduced the sport to their Northern counterparts. In only one year, these addicts, known as the “snicker sisters,” had sparked enough interest that a tournament was held at the South Bend municipal links. Paul McNulty won the fi rst championship.

A full-fl edged team with non-varsity status was organized in 1923, but was unsuccessful in its two dual meets. The squad played six matches the fol-lowing season, winning five and losing to Northwestern by a point.

In the late 20s, the University opened a golf course on the west side of campus and dedicated it to the land’s donor, William J. Burke. The installation of the 18-hole layout proved to be a prime reason behind the 1930 approval by the University for golf to become a varsity sport at Notre Dame.

While the athletic department took over the responsibilities of scheduling and expenses, the golf team continued to function without a head coach. During this three-year period, the Irish were able to win 17 straight meets. The squad twice won the Indiana state meet and twice fi nished among the top three nationally.

The search for a golf coach ended in 1933, when the University president, Rev. John O’Hara, C.S.C, appointed the Rev. George Holderith, C.S.C, as head coach. Known as the father of Notre Dame golf for his 29-year interest and participation in the sport, Fr. Holderith’s team promptly ran off a record 20 straight wins. Notre Dame continued its dominance through the 1930s, recording eight consecutive Indiana state crowns in addition to seven consecutive top-10 fi n-ishes in the NCAA Championship. In 1934, Notre Dame became the fi rst school ever to qualify fi ve players for the NCAA match play championship.

Championship MagicThe 1940s era of Notre Dame golf saw the school

reach the ultimate in its sport — an NCAA champi-onship. That ultimate accomplishment came in 1944, when the foursome of James Besenfelder, Jack Fitzpatrick, Bob Terry and captain Mel Wilke, com-bined for a 311 score at the famed Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio. Two years earlier, the Irish had played host to the 1942 NCAAs, which were held at the South Bend Country Club as part of Notre Dame’s 100th anniversary celebration. In 1946, Dick Whiting became the second of Notre Dame’s four fi rst-team All-Americans.

The 1950s provided more bright spots for the Irish. A third-place fi nish in the 1951 NCAAs more than made up for one of only two losing seasons in the fi rst 22 years of Notre Dame golf history. Two of

Standard of Excellence Remains Strong for Notre Dame Golf Irish a fi xture on national stage with 34 NCAA berths … and counting

All-American Tom Sheehan and Rev. George Holderith, C.S.C., the “father of Notre Dame golf.”

Notre Dame’s best shotmakers played for the Irish in the ’50s: fi rst team All-Americans Tom Veech and Tom Matey. Later in the decade, second-team All-American Joe Grace and third-teamer Charles Thurn led the Irish to 37 victories over three seasons.

Change was the keynote of the 1960s. Large tour-naments, some including as many as 20 teams, replaced dual meets due to fi nancial and academic pressures. The Irish also changed coaches, as Rev. Clarence Durbin, C.S.C., returned to his alma mater, the University of Portland. During his 11-year tenure at Notre Dame, Fr. Durbin tutored several All-Americans, including Joe Grace’s brother, Tom, and the record-setting Mike O’Connell. The 1964 squad took fourth in the NCAAs, with the squad returning intact in ’65 to defeat 18 opponents.

With nearly 350 wins between them, Fr. Holderith and Fr. Durbin combined to instruct several note-worthy players. Winfi eld Day (1934-36) was a prolifi c scorer and won the Notre Dame Open four years in a row.

All-American Larry Moller served as one of the program’s early leaders and fi nished as runner-up in the 1930 NCAAs. Tom Sheehan captained two Irish squads, earned All-America designation in 1939 and broke Bobby Jones’ qualifying record at the U. S. Amateur. Veech gained his All-America recognition in 1949, after defeating a young upstart from Wake Forest named Arnold Palmer.

Matey followed in the sizable footsteps of the 6-3, 300-pound Veech. Matey earned All-America honors in 1951 while qualifying for the U.S. Open and three NCAA match play championships. Tom Grace remains the only two-time All-America selection in Notre Dame history (’61, ’62) and turned in a memo-rable 36-hole record of 135 during his career.

The Irish golf program also welcomed future pro-

fessional great Billy Casper to campus in 1950. Casper never had the chance to play for Notre Dame, due to a naval assignment in Korea following his fi rst and only semester.

Veech recorded the highest fi nish of a Notre Dame golfer in a major professional event, placing fi fth (behind champion Jack Nicklaus) in the 1967 Western Open at the Beverly Country Club in Chicago.

New ChallengesNoel O’Sullivan inherited the Irish golf program in

the fall of 1973 and remained the director of the program for the next 15 years. Leaders of the pro-gram during the second half of the 1970s included Jeff Burda, Paul Koprowski, Tim Saurs and brothers Rich and Dave Knee.

The Irish turned in solid seasons throughout the 1980s, with players such as James “Stoney” Ferlmann, Dave Moorman, two-time team captain John O’Donovan and Dick Connelly leading the squad during the fi nal years of the O’Sullivan era.

In the fall of 1988, George Thomas became the fourth coach in the program’s history. Thomas inher-ited a solid group of returnees, led by co-captains Doug Giorgio and Pat Mohan, and the fi rst-year coach guided the Irish into the 1990s with the focus on remaining competitive within the Midwest.

The early leaders of the 1990s included 1992-93 co-captains Chris Dayton and Joe Dennen and brothers Mike and Chris O’Connell (a two-year cap-tain).

The Irish fi nished as the runner-up at the fi rst four Midwestern Collegiate Conference Championships of the 1990s before capturing the ’94-’95 title in their fi nal year in the league.

The program experienced a renaissance of sorts

in 1995-96, when Notre Dame joined the BIG EAST Conference. The move provided plenty of excite-ment for the Irish right from the start, as Notre Dame won three consecutive conference titles — two by a single stroke (1996 and 1997) and by 13 strokes in 1998. The ’96 crown was particularly satisfying, as the Irish rebounded from a 13-shot fi rst-round defi -cit to claim (at the time) the 36-hole title. That come-back remains the largest in school history.

Medalist Bill Moore led Notre Dame to that fi rst BIG EAST championship, while two-year co-captains Brian Donohoe and Joel Hepler played major roles in the fi rst two conference titles. Todd Vernon’s medal-ist fi nish then proved to be the highlight of the ’98 BIG EAST crowning for the Irish.

Return To ExcellenceIt would be another six years before Notre Dame

returned to the top of the BIG EAST mountain for another three-year run of excellence. Building a bridge between those title runs were such talents as Brad Hardin, Willie Kent, Jeff Connell, Alex Kent and Steve Ratay, all of whom rank among the top 20 golf-ers in school history. Connell (2000) and Ratay (2001-02) also strung together three consecutive Academic All-America selections, a fi rst in the program’s illustri-ous history.

Adding to the rebirth of the Irish golf program was the construction of the Warren Golf Course, which made its debut in 2000. Made possible by a generous donation from 1956 Notre Dame alumnus Bill Warren, the par-70, 7,011-yard track was designed by PGA Tour veteran Ben Crenshaw and noted course architect Bill Coore and remains a corner-stone on the northern edge of the Notre Dame campus. A sparkling new practice arena — the 10,333-square foot Rolfs Family Varsity All-Season Facility — was added in 2006, off ering Notre Dame players and coaches not only expanded locker room and offi ce space, but a state-of-the-art chipping/putting area and fully-equipped tee stations and hit-ting bays.

The newest chapter in the Irish golf story began during the diamond anniversary season of 2003-04, as Notre Dame reclaimed the BIG EAST Championship, winning the conference title and an automatic berth in the NCAA Central Regional, taking the Irish back to postseason play for the fi rst time in 38 seasons. It would be the fi rst of three consecutive BIG EAST titles and NCAA regional berths for Notre Dame, with the Irish just missing a trip to the NCAA fi nals in 2004 (by four shots) and 2005 (by two shots).

With the arrival of current head coach Jim Kubinski in January 2005, Notre Dame soared to new heights, fi nishing fourth or better in four of its seven spring 2005 tournaments. Cole Isban also made his-tory, becoming the fi rst Notre Dame golfer in 25 years to earn regional or national honors with a spot on the PING All-Midwest Region Team.

The 2005-06 campaign was a landmark one that saw the Irish shatter the school’s stroke average record with a sharp 292.97 ratio and featured four starters shooting better than 74.00 for the season. Ranked as high as 12th nationally during the fall, Notre Dame carded fi ve top-fi ve fi nishes, but none was more impressive than its sudden-death playoff win at the BIG EAST Championship (which featured a 12-shot fi nal-round comeback, as well as school records for 18 holes [272] and 54 holes [842]). Isban earned a return trip to the all-region squad after

posting a school-record 72.97 stroke average with four top-10 fi nishes.

Isban became the fi rst three-time all-region pick in 2007, while also passing the torch to Josh Sandman, who went on to garner his own all-region citation a year later with fi ve consecutive top-10 fi n-ishes at the end of the regular season. He also became the fi rst Irish individual ever chosen for NCAA regional play and graduated with the second best stroke average in program history (73.90). Meanwhile, Notre Dame has continued to build a solid team foundation, carding the top fi ve stroke averages in school history from 2005-06 through 2010-11, culminating with the program's best team average (291.50) in '10-11.

A trio of juniors in Max Scodro, Tom Usher and Chris Walker led the Irish back to NCAA tournament play in 2010-11. After fi nishing fi rst or second in every fall tournament, as well as in two spring tour-naments, Notre Dame took home its seventh BIG EAST title in 2011. Scodro led the charge, carding a 212 (-1) that earned him medalist honors, while Walker and freshman Niall Platt also earned all-BIG EAST honors. They capped the season with a ninth place fi nish at the NCAA Southeast Regional on the heels of a three-round score of 865 (+1).

Byron V. Kanaley AwardThe most prestigious honor awarded to a Notre Dame student-athlete, the Byron V. Kanaley Award has been presented each year

since 1927 to the senior monogram athletes who have been most exemplary as both students and leaders. The awards, presented by

the Faculty Board on Athletics, are named in honor of a Weedsport, N.Y., native and 1904 Notre Dame graduate who was a member of

the Irish baseball team as an undergraduate. Kanaley went on to a successful banking career in Chicago and served the University as

a lay trustee from 1915 until his death in 1960.

The Notre Dame men’s golf team has produced two winners of the award. Steve Ratay (Arlington Heights, Ill.), received the honor

following the 2002 season, joining 1962 winner, Al Highducheck (Waterbury, Conn.).

Ratay fi nished his Notre Dame career as one of the top golfers in the program’s storied history. A two-time Academic All-American

(2001, 2002), Ratay graduated with the program’s lowest single-season average (73.03) in 2001-02 and fi nished his career with the

second-best average (74.46 in 105 career rounds). Highducheck helped the Irish fi nish 17th at the 1962 NCAA Tournament. He

appeared in 18 regular-season matches as a senior during that 1962 season while ranking second on the team with 76.2 strokes per

round.

Honors & Awards

UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME

History The University of Notre Dame du Lac was founded

in 1842 by Father Edward Sorin. Adjacent to South

Bend, Ind., and nestled next to St. Mary’s and

Saint Joseph’s Lakes, the University was started

with $310 in cash and three log buildings in

disrepair.

Notre Dame would establish many fi rsts for

Catholic institutions of higher learning, includ-

ing the fi rst Catholic law school, the fi rst Catholic

engineering school and the fi rst student residence

with private rooms, Sorin Hall.

Academics The University is organized into four colleges – Arts and Letters, Science, Engineering and the Men-

doza College of Business – the School of Architecture, the Law School, the Graduate School, six major

research institutes, more than 40 centers and special programs and the University library system.

Notre Dame is rated among the nation’s top-25 institutions of higher learning in surveys conducted

by U.S. News and World Report, Princeton Review, Time, Kiplinger’s and Kaplan/Newsweek.

The Mendoza College of Business is ranked #1 among the nation’s top undergraduate business

schools by Bloomberg BusinessWeek.

Notre Dame is among a select group of schools that ranks in the top 30 on the U.S. News & World

Report survey of the nation’s top colleges and in the National Association of Collegiate Directors of

Athletics Directors’ Cup for overall success in athletics.

Students Graduate and undergraduate students at the University come from all 50 states 100 countries

worldwide.

Notre Dame’s graduation rate of 95 percent is exceeded by only Harvard and Princeton.

Notre Dame’s 98 percent retention rate between the freshman and sophomore years is among the

highest in the country, thanks in large part to the University’s unique First Year of Studies Program.

Notre Dame has one of the highest undergraduate residential concentrations of any national univer-

sity, with 80 percent of its students living in 29 residence halls.

The medical school acceptance rate of the University’s preprofessional studies graduates is 80 percent,

almost twice the national average.

Notre Dame ranks fi rst among Catholic universities in the number of doctorates earned by its under-

graduate alumni – a record compiled over some 85 years.

Service Community service is a hallmark of Notre Dame. About 80 percent of Notre Dame students engage in

some form of voluntary community service during their years at the University, and at least 10 percent

devote a year or more after graduation to service in the United States and around the world.

The University’s Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE) annually sends 180 recent graduates to teach

in some 100 understaff ed Catholic schools in the southern, southeastern and southwestern United

States and in South Bend. A national model, ACE has received the Higher Education Award from the

Corporation for National Service for leadership in using national service resources through AmeriCorps.

Alumni The University’s network of nearly 270 alumni clubs – including 60 international clubs – is the most

extensive in higher education.

With graduates renowned for their loyalty and generosity, Notre Dame annually ranks among the

top-fi ve in percentage of alumni who

contribute to the University.

In recent years, Notre Dame

alumni have won a Nobel Prize in

medicine, a Pulitzer Prize in jour-

nalism and an Emmy Award for con-

tributions to television technology.
