2011 Outlook
Taking a Look at the Nittany Lions After a formal dedication ceremony was held for the state-of-the-art Tombros Varsity Clubhouse in September, the Penn State men’s golf team was able to start its 2010-11 campaign in a beautiful new facility. e program’s new home features coaches’ offices, locker rooms with club storage, a lounge with a big screen TV, a heated indoor hitting-net facility, indoor to outdoor hitting bays, a V-1 video system and practice putting greens. e new facility and equipment will provide the golfers with a way to improve development, even in the winter months. “Our student-athletes will now have a home in which they can communicate with their coaches and teammates all in one common space,” said Nye. ey will have an opportunity to not only store their equipment and enjoy their own personal locker, but relax in the team lounge in front of a fireplace and a big screen television. Providing our guys with access to the best video and training opportunities, and additional space to practice all winter with the addition of the indoor-to-outdoor hitting bays is exciting. Bringing our program together in this special building, centrally located within our on campus golf facilities gives us a wonderful opportunity to maximize all of our facilities and each other.” In addition to the new home, the program also welcomed sophomore Anthony DeGol and freshman Shane Stewart to their lineup after having to saying goodbye to two talented seniors, Kevin Foley and Jim Markovitz. e men’s golf team returned three golfers who recorded 30 or more rounds last season including T.J Howe, Tommy McDonagh and Ernesto Marin. e complete roster is compiled of three seniors, three juniors, four sophomores and one freshman. e Nittany Lions wrapped up the 2010 spring season with a 29th place finish at NCAA Nationals, the team’s second appearance at nationals in the past three years and its fourth overall. e team made it to the tournament after a standout performance at the East Regional qualifying tournament. e Lions competed against some of the highest ranked teams in the country and knocked off two top-ten ranked teams to secure a fourth place finish and their bid to the 2010 NCAA Finals. e fall schedule featured many challenging collegiate golf programs, including some of the top-ranked teams in Golfstat standings. e schedule kept Penn State on the road, traveling to familiar Big Ten territory in Indiana and Illinois as well as newer turf in Texas, California and Maryland. Penn State traveled to Zionsville, Ind. to kick-off its fall season at the links at Wolf Run for a second consecutive season. e Nittany Lions were one of the five schools representing the Big 10 in the field of 15. e team recorded a tournament total of 899 (299-302-298) to finish in 12th. In the second tournament of the fall season, Penn State brought home a first place title from the links at River Marsh Golf Club in Cambridge, Md. After the first two rounds of play, the Nittany Lions sat in second place to UNC- Wilmington only to come back strong during the final round to catapult themselves eight shots ahead of UNC-Wilmington. ey finished eight-under par with rounds of 280-281-283 (844). "Winning the Maryland Intercollegiate was a thrill," Head Coach Greg Nye said. "e collective effort to bounce back this week showed great character." Senior T.J. Howe recorded an incredible achievement with a hole-in-one during the third round of play. e noteworthy accomplishment evidently did not cause Howe to lose focus as he secured a third place individual finish. Sophomore Anthony DeGol made his collegiate debut finishing in the top five for the tournament and proving to be a true asset to the team. DeGol posted rounds 70-70-71 (211) and finished two-under par.
In the third fall tournament, the Nittany Lions made a second stop in Big Ten territory as they traveled to Glenview, Ill. to compete at the 14th annual Windon Memorial Classic hosted by Northwestern. Penn State concluded the tournament in 11th place out of the 17-team field, recording rounds of 303-290-290 (883), placing them at 31-over par. e Nittany Lions headed out west for the eighth annual Alister MacKenzie Invitational in Fairfax, Calif. for the fourth tournament of their fall campaign. Penn State competed on a 16-team field at the Meadow Club, which was designed by world famous architect Dr. Alister MacKenzie. After two days of competition, the team finished 12th, posting a three-round total of 847 (280-282-285). Penn State traveled to Dallas, Texas for the concluding tournament of the 2010 fall season. e tournament was called after two rounds due to inclement weather. Penn State finished in a tie for fourth with SMU. Both teams shot rounds of 285-280 (565). Howe led Penn State with a 5-under par, two-round total of 137 (70-67) to place him tied for seventh. In his season debut, sophomore Jay Woodward shot a 3-under par 139 (70-69) to place him tied for 11. As the fall season drew to a close, the Lions devoted several hours to strength training and conditioning in order to prepare for the spring season scheduled to kick off in February with the Big Ten Match Play Championship at the PGA National Resort in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. In the premier tournament of the spring season, Penn State matched up against all of their fellow Big Ten foes. Matches were set based on end-of-fall season rankings, seeding Penn State eighth and matching them up against Minnesota in the first round. After falling to Minnesota in the first round, 3-1-2, the Nittany Lions went on to beat Wisconsin in the first consolation round 3-2-1. Woodward stood out in the first match, capturing the single victory for Penn State over Minnesota. In the second round, Howe, DeGol and Matt Porter earned the three victories for the Nittany Lions In years past, the Pinehurst Intercollegiate has proven to be a favorite for the Lions as they have rewritten the record books and have taken home the trophy with outstanding golf. To this day, the team holds the low 54-hole team total record with 852 as well as the low final round score of 279. Although last year the team did not fair as well as they have in previous years, they still finished tied for third with a three-round total of 887 (288292-307). is season the team will look to improve their performance on the familiar field, as well as attempt to surpass their held records. April will prove to be a busy month for the Nittany Lions starting with the LSU National Invitational in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. is will be the first edition of this tournament and will take place at e University Club. e following weekend, the team will host the 35th annual Rutherford Intercollegiate at the Penn State Blue Course. e tournament will feature a total of 16 teams on the par 71, 7,202-yard course.

Maryland hosted 14 teams for the two-day tournament. The team carded a final round of 283, finishing the weekend with a three-round total of 844 (280-281-283) and taking home the title of the third annual Maryland Intercollegiate.
Freshman Michael Miller finished on top for Penn State throughout the tournament, ending tied for sixth. Miller carded a three-round total of 217 (70-75-72).

He has been nothing short of the outstanding play he showed over the summer," said Nye. Howe finished two strokes behind Miller carding rounds of 68-71-70 (209). His hole-in-one during the third round of play was an incredible achievement, but evidently did not cause Howe to lose focus throughout the round. Howe took a third place finish for the weekend. "T.J. showed his experience when I went up to him about 10 minutes after his hole-in-one, and he said -- thanks coach, but I have to keep focus on this shot I have here now," Nye.

This was Kevin's first Rutherford win and I know it was meaningful to him. He is one Penn Stater that belongs on the list of former champions."

Greg Nye MILESTONES - 27th season in coaching - 19th season with Penn State - 58 tournament titles at Penn State
HIGHLIGHTS - NCAA Finals Berths: • 1996, 2004, 2008 & 2010 - Region Coach of the Year: • 1993, 1994, 2000, 2001, 2004, 2008, 2009 & 2010 - Eastern Championships: • 1993, 1994, 1995, 1997 - 17 NCAA Regional Appearances
In his 19th season at Penn State, men's golf Coach Greg Nye has guided the Nittany Lions to national prominence, while bolstering the program's reputation as a perennial power in eastern collegiate golf. The historic marches to NCAA Finals in 1996, 2004 and 2008 are two major highlights of a storied career. The most significant contribution Nye has made to Penn State and eastern collegiate golf history came at the end of the 1995-96 season, when he led the Nittany Lions to the NCAA Finals with a ninth place finish in the NCAA East Regional. With their triumphant finish at the East Regional, the Nittany Lions became the first team from either of the NCAA's eastern sections - District I or II - to advance to the finals since the regional format was established in 1987. In 2004, his Nittany Lions rocked the collegiate golf world by nearly winning the NCAA East Regional, finishing second out of 27 teams, of which seven teams were ranked in the nation’s Top 15. One of the teams finishing behind the Lions was the No. 1 ranked Florida Gators. The Nittany Lions then went on to finish 15th among 30 teams at the NCAA Finals, making Penn State golf history with its highest team finish ever. "The 1996, 2004 and 2008 teams were very special,” said Nye. “More importantly, those were very tough minded and believed they could be successful against the higher ranked teams.” Personal Milestone at Marshall Invitational In April 2007, Nye marked a personal achievement while the Nittany Lions celebrated their victory at the Marshall Invitational, beating the next best team by 12 strokes. The championship, won on a cool snowy weekend at the Guyan Golf and Country Club, was the 50th of Nye's coaching career. His career coaching win total now stands at 57. In his first two years, Nye's teams set two Penn State records for the number of championships earned in a season, with six in 1992-93 and eight in 1993-94, a mark that was tied by the 1996-97 squad.
Academic & Athletic Excellence In addition to the team's success on the course, Nye has continually stressed strong performance in the classroom. In 15 of 19 seasons at Penn State, the Nittany Lions have achieved a team grade point average greater than 3.00. In 2000-01, Nye's team posted the best G.P.A. of any of the 29 teams at Penn State. Nye has coached 17 GCAA All-American Scholars, one GTE Academic All-American and each year he has seen a high percentage of the team rewarded for their academic achievements with Academic All-Big Ten honors. Nye's teams have ranked near or at the top of the Mid-Atlantic Region and qualified for the NCAA East Regional 17 times. His squads also won the Eastern Championship three straight seasons, 1993-95, and in 1997. Nye was voted the NCAA District II Coach of the Year in 1993, 1994, 2000, 2001, 2004, 2008 and 2009. He has coached 39 NCAA All-District players, five Mid-Atlantic Region Players of the Year, eight AllBig Ten selections, as well as four NCAA All-Americans. Adam Decker (1997), Matt Abbott (2001), Mark Leon (2004), Foley (2008/09/0) and Howe (2010). "Our program has grown on the national scene as we watched our rankings consistently stay in the top 25 percent of all Division I golf programs," Nye said. "We have challenged ourselves with our schedule and the quality of our play has moved right along with that challenge."

When asked about how his life in golf and Penn State fit together,” Nye said, "Sports, golf, competing, coaching and teaching have been with me from the beginning. I have been very fortunate to be able to pursue a passion for competitive golf at a few very special places with many outstanding people. Penn State has been one of those places. I have particularly enjoyed the Penn State approach to intercollegiate athletics. Penn State supports our program to be competitive athletically on a conference and national level, but insists that the student athletes' education and well being remains first and foremost." Nye and his wife, Marjie, reside in State College with their two sons, Russell (21), and Graham (18).

Head coach Greg Nye relates that, “Coach Dunlap joined our team at a time when our team practice facilities and golf course were under heavy construction. It was a big challenge to even conduct practice for a few years. He was instrumental in helping us persevere through that four year period. What was real special about that period was the performance of the team seemed to go hand-in-hand with the improvement of our facilities, and Coach Dunlap had a big hand in making that happen.” Since Fall 2005, Nittany Lion golfers have received numerous accolades including two GCAA All-Americans, one Golfweek All-American, three Academic All-Americans, five All-Big Ten selections (First or Second Team) and one Big Ten Freshman of the Year. The program has also continued its success in the classroom with the program maintaining an average GPA above 3.0, including 23 Academic All-Big Ten Selections. Additionally, during Dunlap's first season, the men's golf team finished first in team G.P.A. out of all the Penn State men's teams. Dunlap handles a large share of recruiting evaluations, correspondence and visits, is involved heavily in team practice, player development and coaching during events. Additionally he co-directs Penn State’s annual home event, The Rutherford Intercollegiate. “Coach Dunlap is involved with nearly every aspect of our program here at Penn State. He has and brings a high level of energy to the team every day, and consistently guides our student athletes through the expectations we as a staff have set forth for our program,” said Nye. Before arriving at Penn State, Dunlap was the Head Coach at Kennesaw State University (GA) for four seasons.
During his tenure at Kennesaw State, Dunlap helped the Owls to a program best, 7th place finish at the 2002 NCAA Division II National Championship and 2nd place finish at the 2002 Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Championship. He coached three GCAA All-Americans, two Academic All-Americans, one PBC All-Conference selection, two GCAA PING AllRegion Selections and four PBC Presidential Honor Roll Honorees. Under Dunlap’s guidance, Kennesaw won three tournament titles while four different Owls claimed individual titles. Additionally, Dunlap spent one season as the assistant coach during the 2000-01 season. While at Kennesaw State, Dunlap continued to play competitively as a professional in Georgia PGA events and worked as the first assistant golf professional and Director of the Junior golf program at the BridgeMill Athletic Club. Dunlap, a native of Toronto, Canada played collegiately at Coker College (SC) and Kennesaw State University (GA). After graduation, Dunlap continued playing competitively as an amateur. Some of his amateur highlights include the 1999 Canadian Amateur and Monday qualifying for the Canadian Tour’s Ontario Open in 2000. A graduate of Kennesaw State in May 2001, Dunlap also completed his Master’s degree in Business Administration during his first two seasons as head coach in June of 2003.
QUOTEBOOK “Having the opportunity to work at one of the most respected Universities in the nation that carries strong values, and to work directly with Coach Nye, who has built upon the rich history of Penn State golf, makes it exciting for me to keep trying to push PSU golf to new heights.”

Michael Carter Legacy IN MEMORIAM MIKE CARTER’S LEGACY LIVES ON WITH TREE AND SCHOLARSHIP The Penn State golf family is still healing from the loss of Mike Carter — the spunky and colorful sophomore player from Westfield, N.J. who passed away on February 13, 2002. Carter, who was known around the course and across campus for his upbeat attitude and engaging personality, was returning home when his car lost control and went off the roadway. Penn State was devastated and the Nittany Lion’s golf family mourned and remembered their fallen teammate with unity and grace. The men’s team wore pink pants as a tribute to Carter at the 2002 Rutherford Invitational, the Big Ten Championships and the NCAA East Regional. “He was a very bright light on our team and we will always remember how he lived each day to the fullest,” said Coach Nye. To ensure that the memory of Mike Carter lives on in perpetuity, the Penn State golf family and the Carter family have taken two significant measures. In the spring of 2002, the Penn State team and coaches planted a red maple tree near the 18th hole on the home Blue Course in State College, Pa. and dedicated it, with a plaque, to Mike Carter. In 2003, Michael and Mary Lou Carter endowed a grant in the name of their son to be awarded annually to the golf program.
Flowers and a pictorial were placed in memoriam at the Penn State Golf Course Club House. As a tribute to Michael, the 2002 men’s golf team wore Carter’s signature pink pants at the Rutherford Invitational and in post-season play.

MEN’S GOLF
Nittany Lions On Tour PENN STATERS ON TOURS & AT THE OPEN Penn State has long been a teeing ground for which graduates use to begin their professional careers. Several alumni are or have pursued their dream of playing professional golf.
Matt Abbott, a 2001 graduate has seen great success since 2007 on the Gateway Tour and Minor League Tour. On the Gateway Tour he as earned over $91,000 and made 32 of 40 cuts in the last two seasons. On the Minor League Tour, Abbott has earned numerous victories and over $20,000 in earnings. 2005 Alum Mark Leon earned Canadian Tour Exempt status in the fall of 2007. After a complete season on tour Leon finished high enough on the money list to gain exempt status for the 2009 season. Leon’s top finish of the 2008 season was a 2nd place finish. He advanced to the 2nd round of PGA Tour Q-School. Leon also spends time playing on the Great Lakes Tour.
Greg Pieczynski (2006) has spent much of his short professional career on the Gateway Tour. He won the 2008 Philadelphia Open as well as the Philadelphia PGA Assistants Championship. He finished 7th at the PGA National Assistants Championship. Jimbo Fuller, a 2003 graduate, began his professional career in 2006 on the Grey Goose Gateway Tour and had a very successful season. Fuller won one tournament, made 14 of 22 cuts and earned over $55,000. Last year, Fuller qualified for the second round of the PGA Tour Q-School.
Adam Decker, who graduated in 1996, is now the head coach for the University of Richmond, has played in PGA Tour & Nationwide Tour events including the 1998 Kemper Open, 2000 Florida Classic, 2001 Hershey Open, and the 2001 Greater Cleveland Open. He had also played on the former Tear Drop Tour, where he won twice, and on the Golden Bear Tour where he accumulated over $45,000. Dirk Ayers, 1995 Alum, has been a regular on the Canadian Tour. He joined the tour in 1997 through Q-School and has been a member ever since. His best year on the Canadian Tour was in 2004 when he finished runner-up twice and finished ninth on the money list with over $42,000 in earnings. Dirk has also played in several PGA Tour and Nationwide Tour events. He made the cut at the PGA Tour’s Canadian Open in 2004, and played the B.C. Open in 1998. His Nationwide Tour experiences include the 1996 Buffalo Open, 2003 Alberta Calgary Classic, and 2004 Boise Open. Ayers has also competed on the Australasian PGA Tour. 1993 Alum, Jason Tyska perhaps turned in the most impressive performance by becoming the second Penn Stater to qualify for the U.S. Open but first to make the cut at the 1999 Open held in Pinehurst, North Carolina. Tyska went on to finish 53rd. He earned his way on to the 1999 Nationwide Tour by making it through all three stages of PGA Tour Qschool. He went on to make the cut in 12 events where he had four top 10 finishes. In 2000, Tyska played in four Nationwide 20 NCAA REGIONALS IN LAST 21 YEARS
Tour events and qualified for the PGA Tour’s Michelob Championship at Kingsmill. Danny O’Neill is the only Penn Stater to qualify for the U.S. Open (1985) and U.S. Senior Open (2001). Danny is a 1972 graduate of Penn State. Danny remains the only Penn Stater to earn AllAmerica honors all four years of his career. In his career, Danny has played in the 1990 & 1996 Buffalo Open (Nationwide Tour). He qualified for the 2002 U.S. Senior PGA Tour by finished 4th at the final stage. In his rookie year on tour (2002), Danny played in 29 events and earned over $216,000. “Penn State has had its share of talented players through the years, and these guys have given it a shot,” said Coach Nye. “The young men who come into our program are here for education first, but they all have the tour as a goal or a dream. Some of these guys are close to making it happen. Some of them have given it their all and have now chosen other career paths. It is with great pride that we watch their efforts.” Many Penn State Alumni work as golf professionals throughout the U.S. and some still compete as club professionals. These professionals, combined with the alumni trying to make the various tours, have helped Penn State touch the golf community and will help line the fairways for current and future Nittany Lion golfers.

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

The Lions’ berth in the Finals was not only monumental for Penn State, but for the entire Eastern region as the Lions became the first team in the relatively short history of both Districts I and II to reach the Finals. For the first time since 1987, Penn State headed to the NCAA Finals, held in 1996 at the challenging Honors Course in Chattanooga, Tenn. Penn State played well, but failed to make the team cut after two rounds. Ayers led Penn State individually, making the individual cut and finishing in a tie for 47th place overall after an opening round 71. Penn State placed 29th overall as a team, which at the time was the top finish of any Big Ten team at the Finals.

“Mark Leon golfed brilliantly throughout the NCAA Finals as all facets of his game were at a high level. Making the cut was a terrific achievement and very exciting for us as a team. I’m very proud we backed up our second place finish at the Regionals with a strong showing in the Finals.” - Penn State coach Greg Nye
Penn State Golf History The annual college championship was a popular event that was contested each fall on the college links. In 1922, Rutherford, nicknamed “Pop”, was named Head Coach and organized the first men’s golf team at Penn State. It was from the college championship that Rutherford would form the first varsity team. The team members were: J.W. Crookston (Captain), F.E. Dale, T.F. Connell, J.L. Bair, and C.M. Andrews (Manager). The first match in Penn State varsity golf history was played on the new campus course on May 26, 1922. The Nittany Lion golfers were defeated by the University of Pennsylvania in their intercollegiate debut by a score of four to three. Had the Lions defeated Penn, they likely would have been invited to The Intercollegiates (National Championship). Willie Parks was the designer and creator of the first Penn State golf course
he first golf holes were laid out on the Penn State campus in the late 1800’s. The game became more and more popular and eventually became a 9-hole course in 1901. Known as the Golf Club of State College, the club became so popular that fifty percent of the faculty and students played the game. The possible location of this routing existed near the current location of Pollock Hall with some claiming that the location was closer to the present location of Beaver Stadium.
T
In December of 1908, a new club was proposed and the generous support of Mr. H. Walton Mitchell, a strong alumnus and faithful alumni trustee, and other owners leased land known as the Dale Farm at a reduced rate for the purpose of a new club. The land was maintained by the course caretaker who lived in the farmhouse with their family and not only maintained the course with a flock of sheep but also would earn part pay from the produce he could raise off the land not occupied by the links. It is believed that the area of land is where parts of the current White Course are located today. Former Penn State Athletic Director Hugo Bezdek, hired in 1918, wanted the University to have better golf facilities and eventually a varsity team. In 1921, with public school money and a dream in his bag, Bezdek lured Golf Professional Robert B. Rutherford Sr., from New Britain, CT to oversee the change from a nine-hole course to an 18-hole championship course. Bezdek and Rutherford hired Willie Park Jr., an internationally known figure in the golfing world, and had designed some of the best courses in both the United States and Europe. Park, a native of Musselburgh, Scotland won The British Open in 1887 and 1889.
In 1923, intercollegiate golf began to take shape. Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Cornell, Dartmouth, Columbia, Penn, and Williams developed plans to form a golf league. With the steady growth and interest in golf at Penn State, it was only a matter of time before Penn State joined. Each team in the league was to play matches and the team with the best record was declared the champion. With the 1923 Nittany Lion schedule finalized, word was received in April that Penn State had been admitted to the Intercollegiate Golf League. Penn State would begin league play in 1924. The 1923 schedule included matches against Princeton, Lock Haven CC, Penn, and Pittsburgh. The Lions would finish their second season of intercollegiate golf with a 6-1 record and were invited to The Intercollegiates where they went on to finish in 8th place. The first undefeated season in school history occurred in 1927. That year, Penn State went 5-0-1. The Lions proved to always be a challenge on the links during Pop’s years. The Lions only had three losing seasons from 1927 to 1942.
The War Years Through the Mid-Fifties With the major developments of World War II in the mid 1940’s Rutherford was forced to have a limited schedule in 1943 & 44 and was unable to field a team in 1945 & 46. Varsity golf returned to Penn State in 1947 with a limited schedule. The Lions played five dual matches, finishing third at the EIGA Championship and 25th at The Intercollegiate. Rutherford’s team went on to have three more undefeated campaigns with the most significant being in 1948. The 1948 squad went into the EIGA Playoffs with an unblemished record of 3-0. The linksmen went on to beat Pitt 8-1, Cornell 6-3 and Army 9-0 to reach the EIGA Championships in Atlantic City, NJ. In the first round of the finals, Penn State went on to beat a tough Georgetown squad by a score of 6-3. Penn State had reached the championship match for the first time in school history. Penn State’s previous best finish at the EIGA Finals had been in 1947 where they finished in third. The 1948 squad, captained by Donald Hart, was not going to be denied the afternoon of May 15th, 1948. The Nittany Lions came out hot and would not cool down. All six Lions would win their matches in dominating fashion and therefore also claim the three best-ball matches. They went on to shut out 21-time NCAA Champion, Yale, by a score of 9-0 and became the first NonIvy league school to win the EIGA Championship. Coach Boyle was a starting member of the 1948 team and remembered the history made by winning the EIGA with a twinkle in his eye.

Penn State Golf History
Penn State golf began in 1922 with its first official collegiate schedule. From 1927 to 1942, the Nittany Lions only had three losing seasons.
“We were so excited to win the Eastern Intercollegiate as those Ivy teams were awfullytough in those days,” said Joe Boyle. The team would go on to finish the season undefeated with a record of 10-0 and would go on to finish in 16th place at the NCAA Championships in Palo Alto, California. The first Grant-in-Aid (Golf Scholarship) was awarded to Rod Eaken of Reading, Pa. In the early summer of 1950, a freshman to be, Rod Eaken received some disheartening news. He had received a letter from Penn State advising that, due to budgetary restrictions, five sports had been discontinued. During the summer months there was at least one invitational golf tournament held each week at some of the best country clubs in the Philadelphia area. One of the weekly competitors in these invitationals was a Penn State Alumnus and member of the Penn State Board of Director’s: Fred Waring. Fred owned the famous Shawnee-on-the-Delaware resort and had his world famous band “The Pennsylvanians” based there. In June of 1950, while playing at Scranton Country Club, Rod Eaken’s competitor that week was none other then Fred Waring. During the round, Rod approached Mr. Waring and asked him if he was aware that Penn State had dropped the golf team? Fred was outraged and said to Rod, “Penn State will have a Golf Team if I have to pay for it myself.”
Rod, obviously elated, wondered if Fred Waring would actually do something. He had never heard another word from Mr. Waring but when he returned to school in September, the Golf Team had been reinstated. It was not until several years later that the other sports were reinstated. Rutherford Jr. continued to build upon the success of his father. In his inaugural season as coach, Rutherford Jr. led PSU senior Tommy Smith to the NCAA Championship in New Mexico. Although his teams did not claim an EIGA Championship, his teams finished the 1953 and 1955 seasons undefeated. In his seven year span as Head Coach, Rutherford Jr. finished with a career mark of 50-13.
Coach Joe Boyle – Match Play to Medal In 1957, a new Coach was named in Joe Boyle. Coach Boyle’s first day of work as the Penn State golf coach just happened to be the same day as that of legendary football coach Joe Paterno. Boyle worked as Rutherford Jr.’s assistant and was a member of the historic 1948 EIGA Championship team and captain of the 1949 team. Boyle wasted little time building off of Rutherford’s successes. In his first year as coach, his squad went 10-2 and finished second in the EIGA Championship. In his 25 years as Head Coach, Boyle’s teams won seven EIGA Championships, including back-to-back titles in 1963 and 1964 and a string of three from 1971-1973. He had a team or individual compete for Penn State at the National Championship in 19 of his 25 years with the team and had a best finish of 16th Place in
1969. Boyle finished his coaching career with a dual match record of 197-38-1 which included seven undefeated seasons. He was an active member in the Golf Coaches Association of America and served as the associations President in 196768. Boyle was inducted in the GCAA Hall of Fame in 1987 and was the recipient of the GCAA’s highest award, The Honor Award in 2007. The Honor Award which began in 1985 is awarded annually to a member of the GCAA Hall of Fame who is retired and has made a significant contribution to the game of golf. Boyle coached in an era that had a lot of change in collegiate golf. Part way through his coaching career intercollegiate golf gradually went away from traditional dual matches (Match Play) to stroke-play tournaments involving a number of teams. The Lions went from playing 10-15 dual-matches a year to 6-8 stroke play tournaments. One of the first and favorite tournaments that the Lion golfers became regular participants in was the Indiana (PA) Invitational played at the Indiana Country Club. The Lions claimed their first IUP title in 1964 and went on to win the title 10 out of the next 11 years. With the popularity of intercollegiate golf growing across the nation, districts were also created to select the top teams from various areas of the country. Under Boyle, the Lions were traditionally one of the top ranked teams in District II, made up of the northern Mid-Atlantic States. William (Bill) Davidson is an important name in the history of Penn State golf. He became the programs first ever champion of the EIGA Championship and first All-American in 1959. In the 1958 EIGA Championship, Davidson beat teammate Johnny Felus in the Semifinals and went on to win the title the next day beating Ted Weiss of Yale. He was named team captain for the 1959 squad. In his career, Davidson qualified for the NCAA Championship all three years he was a Nittany Lion (1957, 1958 & 1959). He finished his career with a regular season match-play record of 22-9. In the fall of 1969, a young freshman from Jamestown, NY enrolled at Penn State. Dan O’Neill immediately made an impact becoming the Lions No. 1 man by mid spring of 1970 and finished in 12th place at the NCAA Championship. That finish earned him All-American honors which he would achieve in each of his next three years with the Nittany Lions, becoming the first four-time All-American. In the summer of 1972, Dan O’Neill qualified for the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach and made the 36-hole cut. His cut making putt was seen live across the nation on ABC.

Penn State Golf History In the late 1960’s golf became so popular on the University Park campus, that administration decided to build a second golf course. The new course was named the “Blue” and was built on the far west portion of the campus property and had a separate entrance off of College Ave. The original campus course was renamed the “White” course. The Blue course would open in 1970 at a par of 72 and length of 7,010 yards. It had 87 bunkers and three ponds. The course was designed by the architecture firm of Harrison & Grabin and built by university employees. It became the primary course for all Penn State Intercollegiate competitions.
Kennedy Leads Lions to Atlantic 10 Dominance In January 1982, Mary Kennedy-Zierke, the women’s coach at the time, was promoted to head coach of the men & women’s teams following the retirement of Joe Boyle. “Fall” collegiate golf was now a norm and Coach Kennedy-Zierke led a number of successful teams in her 10 years as head coach. Kennedy, an outstanding teacher, developed several all district players and guided the Lions to prominence in eastern golf her last five years with the program. She was named District II Coach of the Year in 1987 and 1991. Her teams claimed six Atlantic 10 Conference Championships including five in a row from 1986-1990. Through this period of Penn State golf , nearly all competition was still eastern based. Through these years, Coach Kennedy’s team improved year after year, nearly always atop the leader board in District II competitions. Overall under Kennedy’s guidance the Lions won 19 events, and twice she was named District II Coach of the Year.

The program was given a big lift in the mid 1980’s when the massive indoor facility, Holuba Hall, was completed. This free span structure covers two indoor 80-yard practice fields side-by-side. The 118,000-square foot facility, complete with the latest indoor turf surface, provided the Lions with a facility to get an early start on each spring. In 1992, with the development and expansion of the “West” Campus and the inconvenience of running the golf operation from two separate locations, both the Blue and White courses underwent a major facelift. The $1.5 million expansion was generated through the golf course facilities. The golf operation became more efficient with the renovation project of both courses would begin play from the Blue Course Pro Shop and eventually the Walker Clubhouse.

MEN’S GOLF
On Aug, 28, 1992 it was announced that former Bowling Green head men’s & women’s coach, Greg Nye, would take over the men’s team from retiree Men’s and Women’s coach Mary Kennedy-Zierke and lead the Lion golfers in the Big Ten Conference. In Nye’s first season as the Lions’ coach, he led them to six team championships including the 1993 Eastern Championship. The Lions finished eighth in the Big Ten Championship and were the top ranking team in District II. Eventually, they finished the season in a tie for 16th at the NCAA East Regional played in Charlottesville, Virginia. Freshman Dirk Ayers was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Year. The 1993-94 season was one for the record books. In Coach Greg Nye’s second year at the helm, the Nittany Lions went on to claim eight tournament titles. Penn State was in its second year as a member of the Big Ten Conference and the Nittany Lions went to Madison, Wisconsin and finished in sixth place. When the newest edition of the Blue and White golf courses opened in 1994, golfers were greeted with completely new routings for both courses. The back nine of the Blue Course from the 1970 design became the current front nine and a new nine-holes, designed by Tom Clark, 1971 Penn State graduate was built for the Blue Course as the back nine. The new Blue Course was completely opened for play on May 13, 1994 with a par of 72 and length of 6,525 yards. The White Course was reduced to 12 holes and six new holes were added, becoming a par 70, 6,008 yard layout. With the NCAA Regional system put into play in 1989 the Nittany Lions qualified annually for the NCAA East Regional and reached the NCAA Finals in 1996. The 1996 Nittany Lion team made history, becoming the first northeast golf program to qualify for NCAA finals since regionals began. Adam Decker, a one time Penn State walk – on, nearly won the NCAA East Regional finishing second, and went on the following year to make the All American team.
The 1986-87 men’s golf season concluded with five firstplace finishes and a 31st finish at the NCAA Championships. .
Following their historic achievement in the spring of 1996, the Lions wasted no time proving that they were once again the top team in District II. Like in 1994, the Nittany Lions captured a record eight tournament titles. With 29 team titles in six seasons, Penn State was dominating the northeast and changed its schedule to a more national one. Over the next five seasons, the Lions traveled to such places as
Penn State Golf History Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, California, Colorado and Hawaii. Though these years the Nittany Lions were lead by the program’s 13th All American, Matt Abbott. The product of a more difficult schedule came together for the 2003-04 team. Early in the fall of 2003, the Nittany Lions captured three tournament titles in a row. The key to the schedule that season was winning the MacDonald Cup, hosted by Yale University. The Yale University GC was the host of the springs NCAA East Regional. After 36 holes of the Regional, the Nittany Lions were shocking the college golf world. In the lead with 18 holes to play, the Lions ended up finishing second behind Clemson University. Nye’s team went on to beat No. 1-ranked Florida, as well as Georgia, Georgia Tech, Auburn, and North Carolina. Two weeks later, the Lions would ride the momentum of their regional finish and become the first northeast golf team of the stroke play era to make the cut at the NCAA Finals. Mark Leon went on to finish in sixth place and became Penn State’s 14th All-American. In the spring of 2005, in order to compete with Big Ten Conference facilities, the Blue Course and varsity practice facilities underwent their most recent renovation and additions. The Blue course was lengthened some 700 yards to 7,228 yards. Water hazards were added to holes two, three, five and 15. The most significant changes to the Blue Course occurred on holes seven and eight. Hole seven became 465 yards, par four and hole eight was reduced to 215 yards, par three. New tee boxes, two fairway bunkers, a pitch green, and practice bunker were added to the practice facilities located on the range. A new two-plus acre varsity short-game area was built for
the teams behind the 14th green of the Blue Course. The area includes a 13,000 sq ft. putting and chipping green and an 10,000 sq. ft. “impact” green, surrounded by three fairways and bunkers of four different styles. A big change occurred to college golf in the summer of 2007. The NCAA Golf Committee had decided to change the NCAA Regional qualification system. Districts no longer existed and qualifying for Regional play was now based purely on a team’s national rank.
Above:The 2004 Lions finished in second at the NCAA East Regionals and in 15th at the NCAA Finals. Below: Former Nittany Lion, Mark Leon, played before a large gallery and a national television audience in the quarterfinals of the 2005 U.S. Amateur at Merion Golf Club outside of Philadelphia.
Big National Wins Bring Highest Ranking In the fall of 2007, Indiana played host to the Wolf Run Intercollegiate where the Lions would knock off Big Ten rivals Indiana, Michigan, and Northwestern as well as SEC teams like Kentucky and Arkansas to claim the first of two consecutive wins. The confident Lions went to Richmond, Va., the next week and defended their VCU Shootout title. In that victory, Penn State knocked off perennial top 25 teams Wake Forest and North Carolina. Kevin Foley claimed the individual title with a 15-under par performance. The following week the Lions received their highest ever national ranking, 6th in the nation. They were also named Golfweek Magazine “Team of the Week” for their recent play. The Lions would finish the regular season with a stunning head-tohead record of 119-15-0. At the Central Regional, led by a second place finish from two time All Big Ten selection Robert Rohanna, the Lions finished tied for eighth place and advanced on to the NCAA Finals hosted by Big Ten member Purdue University. After three rounds of play at the NCAA Finals the Lions stood in 25th place of the 30 teams and would miss the 54-hole cut. Kevin Foley advanced as an individual to the final round and finished 23rd and became Penn State’s 15th All-American. Coach Greg Nye was named Mid Atlantic Region Coach of the Year for the sixth time.
