Blessings Golf Course The Razorback Golf team moved into their home course at Blessings during the summer of 2004. The course is both challenging to players and was a challenge to create. Robert Trent Jones II and owner John Tyson (Chairman and CEO of Tyson Foods) had a number of goals in mind when designing Blessings. A very hands-on client, Tyson wanted a flexible golf course where every shot required careful thought and precise ex- ecution. He also wanted a course sufficiently demanding to host major collegiate tournaments. To meet the dual goals of toughness and flexibility, RTJ II created a unique golf course with three adjustable holes-eight, nine and sixteen-which can be configured to play to different pars, depending on course setup. Another challenge in designing Blessings was to route the golf course so that the clubhouse could be located outside of the floodplain of Clear Creek, the major topographical and strategic feature of the site. After considering a number of possibilities, a continuous eighteen-hole routing was recommended rather than a pair of returning nines. A third challenge arose as the architect designed the short, par-three tenth hole, which plays to a green located on an exposed platform at the edge of a vertical rock quarry. The green site was shaded by a grove of hardwoods that we wished to save, but needed to thin out to provide sunlight to the green. To solve this dilemma, we generated computer models that showed sunlight angles to the green at various times of day and season, and figured out how to save the greatest number of trees while allowing for enough light to grow grass on the green. This is a good example of how RTJ II delivers environmentally sensitive solutions to golf course design challenges-something we’ve been doing for more than 30 years. Blessings stretches to nearly 7,500 yards from the back tees and plays through two distinct landforms-the Clear Creek floodplain and a plateau that rises to 65 feet above the floodplain where it’s bisected by a series of ravines. Both the outward and inward nines climb up and down between the two topographies, creating drama and variety on a course where golfers will surely feel both tested and blessed by the glory of their surroundings.

4 2008-09 Arkansas Women’s Golf Media Guide 2008-09 Arkansas Women’s Golf Media Guide FRED W. & MARY B. SMITH TRAINING FACILITY The Razorbacks took a giant leap forward in the spring of 2004 with the dedication of the Fred W. and Mary B. Smith Razorback Golf Training Facility at Blessings in Johnson, Ark. Located on the practice tee of Blessings, the facility is home to six indoor-outdoor practice bays, an indoor video swing analysis station, office space and men’s and women’s locker room facilities for the Arkan- sas golf teams. The long-time CEO of the Donrey Media Group, Fred The Razorback Locker Room Smith, is the chairman of the Donald W. Reynolds Foun- dation. “We are excited to be a part of this new facility that will help the Razorback golf programs continue to compete at the highest national level,” Smith said. “Many members of our family play golf, so we have an appreciation for the commitment and many hours of practice that are required to succeed. We have a great love for the University of Arkansas and have always been proud to support the Razorbacks.” Arkansas head coach Shauna Estes-Taylor echoed those thoughts. “I believe we have one of the best golf facilities in the country,” said Estes-Taylor. “I can’t thank Mr. Tyson enough for allowing us to call the Blessings our home. There is not a golf shot that we can not practice at our facility and it helps prepare us for championship golf. The Fred and Mary Smith Golf Center is another amazing facility that houses our offices, locker rooms, video bays, putting studio, and a lounge for our teams to call home. IMany thanks as well to Fred and Mary Smith for their generous support for our golf center. I feel so lucky to have such a great place to show off to recruits. There is this “wow” factor that exist when people see our place for the first time. We are very lucky!” Although the facility and golf course are just a couple years old, a recent expansion was added. The addition included outdoor driving ranges, new greens with multiple grass surfaces to chip and putt from and a state-of- the-art video putting lab. Several finishing touches were also added to the interior including the completion of a trophy case housing a replicas of John Daly’s British Open trophy and Stacy Lewis’ NCAA Tournament trophy.

32 2008-09 Arkansas Women’s Golf Media Guide 2008-09 Arkansas Women’s Golf Media Guide SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE REVIEW Lewis wins, Arkansas second in 2008 Senior Stacy Lewis led wire-to-wire winning her second Southeastern Stacy Lewis Conference medalist honor at Tennessee National Golf Course leading the Razorbacks to a program-best second-place finish in 2008. Ninth-ranked Arkansas finished the third round with an eight-over 296 for an 891 (297-298-296) finishing second at the 12-team event. Arkan- sas’ second-place showing betters its third-place finish in 2005 in Lewis’ first season as a Razorback. Lewis had her hands full for the win in the final round. The Woodlands, Texas, native opened with a two-shot lead over Flor- ida’s 16-year-old star, Hannah Yun, and the duo battled all day in the final group. Lewis held on to her lead until the 14th hole, a medium dis- tance par five that moved left-to-right. Lewis blasted her tee shot and Yun matched it down the fairway but the Lady Gator elected to chance it with her second shot in an attempt to reach the green in two. She did just that and birdied the hole after two-putting. Lewis laid up and had a makeable putt for par but pushed it passed the hole to fall even with Yun. 2008 Arkansas SEC Honors The duo played 15 even and the crowd grew as a playoff SEC Golfer of the Year ...... Stacy Lewis looked imminent. Lewis, however, had other ideas. SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year ...... Stacy Lewis The 16th hole played right-to-left and is bunker-free. First-Team All-SEC ......

Stacy Lewis (3 of 5 weeks) birdie putt to take the one stroke lead. SEC Community Service Team ...... Stacy Lewis She was helped out when Yun bogeyed the hole as Lew- SEC H. Boyd McWhorter Scholar-Athlete Nominee ...... Stacy Lewis is’ lead grew to two strokes with two holes remaining. Both players made par on the 17th over the water and come into 18 with the gallery waiting. Lewis added a bit of drama to the ending with a bogey on the 18th hole but Yun answered with Lucy Nunn a bogey of her own sealing the win for Lewis. Lewis finished the day even and shot 214 (69-73-72) for the tournament one better than Yun who posted a 215 (73-70-72). The SEC victory was the second for Lewis and she became the only golfer at Arkansas to win two SEC titles. But as head coach Shauna Estes-Taylor pointed out, it was a team effort. Junior Lucy Nunn posted her career-best SEC finish with a balanced weekend to finish tied for seventh with a 221 (73-74-74). Sophomore Kris- tin Ingram tied for 20th with a 231 (79-77-75) and sophomore Alex Schulte tied for 30th with a 235 (76-76-83). Freshman Kelli Shean rebounded from a tough opening round to tie for 36th with 237 (87-75-75). Nunn played the back nine even with a bogey on 14 and a birdie on the difficult par three 17th hitting over the water. Shean opened her final round with an even front nine while Ingram, who was four over on the front, was one-under coming into the clubhouse. “Lucy was key for us this week,” said Estes-Taylor. “She’s been working really hard on the mental process and her results this weekend show how committed she is. Kristin stepped up after a rough start and had a tremendous finish and Kelli could have given up after her first round but she hung in there. We needed her and counted her score today.”

34 2008-09 Arkansas Women’s Golf Media Guide 2008-09 Arkansas Women’s Golf Media Guide NCAA REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP REVIEW Ingram leads Arkansas at NCAA West Regional Sophomore Kristin Ingram fired a career-best two-under 70 leading seventh- ranked Arkansas to a tie for fifth place at the 2008 NCAA West Regional in Sac- ramento, Calif. Ingram and the Razorbacks counted a final round 294 for an 882 (291- 297-294) on the par 72, 6,338-yard Orchard Course at Lincoln Hills Golf Club in 2008. That tied No. 14 Oklahoma State (293-293-296) and “What a day,” said Arkansas head coach Shauna Estes-Taylor. “I think I’ve aged about 30 years today. You know, our motto all year was to finish strong and we did that today. Our last six holes were incredible. The kids made the turn and saw the leader board and realized we were in a little trouble. But they dug deep and found a way to get it done. I couldn’t be more proud.” Arkansas’ four counting scores played the final six holes one over as the team rallied from a tie for ninth to a tie for fifth. “This is great as a first year head coach to have the chance to coach a team at Nationals,” Estes-Taylor continued. “Our young players really stepped up today and that says a lot about the program and our future. You know, we hit 800-plus shots to- Ingram named to the NCAA West All-Region Team day and one or two strokes is the difference in playing for a national championship and staying home.” Ingram, a Pasadena, Calif., native, had her career-best tournament this weekend playing in front of her parents in her home state. She opened with a one-over 73 and added rounds of 71-70 finishing with a career-best 214 and tied for sixth, also a career-high. Ingram’s 214 is her first sub-par tournament and her sixth-place showing is her first career top 10. “I can’t say enough about Kristin,” said Estes-Taylor. “She had a great tournament and really picked us up this weekend. I knew she had a lot of potential when we recruited her and she came into her own this weekend. I hope this builds up her confidence and proves to her that she can play on any level.” Lewis, finished tied for 12th overall with a 217 after rebounding with a final round 72. Lewis carded a second round 76 (69-76- 72) and started slowly on Saturday. But The Woodlands, Texas, native battled back from a plus-two start finishing even for the final round. “Stacy had to dig deep,” said Estes-Taylor. “It’s hard to come off a round in which you don’t feel you played your best. But she really rallied in the middle part of her round to help her team advance. That’s what you need from your leader.” Junior Lucy Nunn also started slowly. The Lawton, Okla., product was four-over in the first five holes and moved to plus seven late in the round. But Nunn stepped up with an eagle on the eighth hole and played her final three holes even to count a 77 for a 225 (74-74-77) for the Razorbacks. “I walked in from seven with Lucy,” said Es- tes-Taylor. “She had the eagle on eight, a par on nine and two-putted from 50 feet for par on 10. She really came through in the final holes.” Freshman Kelli Shean was a close fourth for Arkansas with a 226 (75-76-75). Shean birdied the eighth hole dropping a stroke for Arkan- sas. Shean counted a three on the par five eighth hole in the first round and birdied the hole days two and three. “Kelli is just a freshman and she played well all week,” said Estes-Taylor. “This is great experience for her and her future with our team is bright.” Sophomore Alex Schulte wrapped up the Arkansas scores.

It wasn’t the first time Lewis has participated in the qualifier but it was her first event as a professional golfer. Lewis turned pro after leading the United States to its sixth consecutive Curtis Cup title in Scotland. She then shot a 142 winning the qualifier to earn her second trip to the U.S. Women’s Open. Lewis is now working on earning enough money in the six tour events that she has ex- emptions in to avoid LPGA qualifying school. The cutoff is near $90,000 or if she can rank in the top 90 on the LPGA money list, she will earn her tour card for 2009. Lewis’ collegiate accomplishments are almost too numerous to mention but several events stand out:

* 2007 NCAA Championship * Two Southeastern Conference titles (2005, 2008) * Four-time NGCA All-America * Four-time ﬁrst-team All-SEC * 2008 SEC Golfer of the Year * 13 collegiate individual titles * Holds every individual school record * Top-ranked amateur two consecutive years * Two-time Honda Broderick Award nominee * 2007 Dinah Shore Trophy winner * Two-time ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American * Three-time NCGA Scholar-Athlete (2008 still to come) * 2008 Curtis Cup Team Member * Two-time U.S. Women’s Open participant * 2007 World University Games medalist * 2007 Copa De Las Americas runner-up * Fifth place ﬁnish at 2007 Kraft Nabisco Dinah Shore Championship * Numerous amateur wins

2008-09 Arkansas Women’s Golf Media Guide 55 The University of ARKANSAS One of America’s leading land-grant universities, the University of Arkansas opens a new chapter in its storied history in 2008-09. The beneﬁts of a billion-dollar Campaign for the Twenty-First Century are beginning to show. Arkansas enjoyed yet another record enrollment in 2007, and expects the same for Fall 2008. The over 18,000 students enrolled at the Fayetteville campus welcome a new Chancellor, Dr. G. David Gearhart, this fall. One of the benchmarks to college education is the annual US News and World Report “Best Colleges” issue. The 2008 edition keeps the University of Arkansas in the top level of the leading institutions of higher learning in the United States. The peer review and data-driven survey had Arkansas in

2008 Arkansas Volleyball the top tier for the first time in school history. In addition, the Sam M. Walton College of Business ranked 25th place among the nation’s top public undergraduate business schools, according to the 2007 US News. Adding to the good news, the College of Engineering was ranked for the first time. The Carnegie Foundation categorizes the University of Arkansas as a research institution with “high research activity,” which puts UA in the top 10 percent in the nation. As a land-grant university, Arkansas strives to fulfill a three-fold mission of teaching, research and service. The Fayetteville campus also serves as the flagship institution of the University of Arkansas system, which includes branch universities and the UA Medical System. As the lead campus, UA serves as the state’s major center of professional education and as the state’s main source of theoretical and applied research.

We Prepare Students to Succeed At the University of Arkansas, we strive for excellence in everything we do, and we achieve it with nationally ranked academic programs as well as with our athletic teams. Here, successful students will join with other graduates succeeding as major media executives, scientists, engineers, teachers, writers and Olympians. Arkansas’ true success is measured by its students. Since the turn of the 21st Century, Arkansas has brought home more than its share of the nation’s most prestigious undergraduate awards. In fact, the University of Arkansas was the only public or private institution in the country to have Rhodes, Marshall, Goldwater, Udall, NSF and James Madison recipients in the same year back in 2001-02, and continues each year to add to the overall total of the highly competitive post-graduate awards won by Arkansas students.

Student-Athlete Academic Support and Achievement Services Recognizing the difﬁculty of balancing the demands of athletic competition at the highest level and completion of the rigorous academic standards of a Carnegie research-level university, the Razorback Athletic Department provides support services through both facilities and personnel to guide Arkansas student-athletes to their ultimate goal: Uni- versity of Arkansas diploma. The key components of the SAASA are personal development, career development, academic tutoring, study hall facilities, class attendance monitoring and incentive awards recognizing academic achievement.

2008-09 Arkansas Women’s Golf Media Guide 2008-09 Arkansas Women’s Golf Media Guide 61 University of Arkansas Academic Game Plan for Graduation Student-athletes are expected to meet speciﬁc academic criteria in order to maintain eligibility. This is easily achieved by following the Academic Game Plan created by the Student-Athlete Academic Support and Achieve- ment team. The SAASA designs programs and sets speciﬁc goals to help student- athletes achieve academic success. An example of a key goal is the successful completion of 30 hours of coursework during each academic year. By maintaining this course load, Razorback athletes not only stay on track to graduate in four years, but easily meet eligibility requirements set by the NCAA.

Study Hall and Tutors A quiet setting for uninter- rupted study, the Bogle Aca- demic Center provides three types of study hall space. The computer lab (above) has over 30 stations for individual computer-based study. An open study hall is available for group or individual study, and monitored by staff members of the SAASA. There are 17 individual study carrels that provide space for tutors to meet with student-athletes for individual instruction in speciﬁc subjects. Each Razorback team sets its own criteria for study hall attendance. The use of tutors is a key element for academic success, allowing for individualized assistance and for reaching academic excellence in advanced subjects.

“I am always proud of my degree from the University of Arkansas. I had the good fortune to go to on to UAMS in Little Rock to train in surgery after Fayetteville. When I left Little Rock to study at Cornell in New York, I was very pleased to ﬁnd that my education and training at the University of Arkansas was equal to that of my colleagues from Ivy League schools. My time as a Razorback was my most life-shaping experience, and I have always been proud of how I was trained and what I learned at the University of Arkansas.”

Designed to enhance as an innovator in athletic the student-athlete experience for Panther athletes through scholarship endowments and capital gifts for facility construction and renovation, the Quest resulted in almost $34 million in just over two and a half years. In 2005, Long dedicated a new Olympic sports weight room at Fitzgerald Field House as well as training facilities for gymnastics and wrestling. When he departed Pittsburgh, Long had plans for new competition venues for baseball, softball, soccer and track and field, plus en- hancements for the Pitt Band. His commitment to building the Pitt athletics brand resulted in a new primary mark for the Panthers which returned the powerful “PITT” brand to the University of Pittsburgh.

During the early years of its athletic history, the Cardinal served as the University nickname. A lot of things changed in 1909, however, when Arkansas football coach Hugo Bezdek called his players “a wild band of Razorback hogs,” after guiding his team to a 16-0 victory over Louisiana State on October 30, 1909. Alluding to the Razorback, characterized by a ridge back and tenacious, wild fighting ability, Bezdek never forgot this idea and often called his team “a fighting band of Razor- backs.” This new nickname became increas- ingly popular and the student body voted to change the official University mascot from the Cardinal to the Razorbacks in 1910. In the 1920s, “Wooo, Pig, Sooie” was added as the school yell, re- Running Through The “A” ferred to more commonly as For Razorback football players, there is nothing to compare with entering the stadium for a home the “Hog Call.” Arkansas game.

I will always remember that special feeling of running through the ‘A’.” The dis- tinctive logo of The Razorback Marching Band sets the stage by forming a huge “A” as they march the length of the the Arkansas teams is officially known as the field playing Arkansas Fight.

To the roar of the crowd and the band blasting out Arkansas Fight, the current Razorbacks run onto Helmet Hog -- a fixture of the football team’s the field through the “A,” connecting them to generations of previous men in the Cardinal and White. helmet for almost half a century. “Just to be able to run through that ‘A’ and hear the fans cheer for you is unbelievable,” 1989 All- American offensive tackle Jim Mabry said. “To sit in the stands now, I still get chill bumps every time the band starts playing and I see the guys running out.”

There are plenty of powerful mascots in college athletics, but none as unique as the Razorback. Not many school mascots have escaped from their homes, not once, but twice, to ravage the local country side. By their nature, the Razorbacks are hard to contain. A Mascot Like No Other The wild hogs known as razorbacks native to the Arkansas wilderness bear no resemblance to the typical barnyard pig of today. The untamed razorback hog was a lean, feral animal that was ill-tempered. It fought and defeated anything that crossed its path, man or beast. Turn of the 20th century outdoor magazines lauded the razorback as “the most intelligent of all the hogs and is likewise the most coura- geous. . . . He has a clear, farseeing eye.” This was the mighty animal that inspired Hugo Bezdek to pro- claim his team had fought “like a wild band of razorback hogs” against LSU in 1909. Except for rare sightings in the Australian Outback, the Razor- back only exists today in the form of Arkansas’ players and fans. A Russian boar, which closely resembles the wild hog of Bezdek’s day, currently serves as the ofﬁcial live mascot. He resides near campus, and attends all Arkansas home football games. The tradition of a live mascot dates back to the 1960s with a summer of 1977 and ravaged the countryside before being gunned down series of hogs that have proudly represented Arkansas. In addition to by an irate farmer. Another live mascot, Ragnar, was a wild hog captured appearances at games, they have gained a reputation for ﬁerce behav- in south Arkansas by Leola farmer Bill Robinson. Before Ragnar’s spree ior. was done, the mighty animal had killed a coyote, a 450-pound domestic Big Red III escaped from an exhibit near Eureka Springs in the pig and seven rattlesnakes. Ragnar died in 1978 of unknown causes.

78 2008-09 Arkansas Women’s Golf Media Guide 2008-09 Arkansas Women’s Golf Media Guide The Hog Hat It is true; no Razorback fan’s closet is complete without an official Hog Hat. The original style was a hard plastic hat with a long snout, rough razorback ridges across the top and wickedly sharp, pointed curly-cue tail. The modern versions are often sculpted from softer material. Regardless, the Hog Hat is undoubtedly the most recognized piece of fan apparel in college athletics. Just ask ESPN GameDay’s Kirk Herbstreit as he dons the traditional Hog Hat. Arkansas Fight One of the first tasks of a new Razorback is learning to sing the University of Arkan- sas fight song. Arkansas Fight was written in the late 1920s. It is a unique tune, fitting of the only college in America with a Razorback mascot. Several other colleges have adapted the tune, but the lyrics remain unique to Ar- kansas. A Proper Hog Call Hit that line! Hit that line!
