2010-11 Manhattanville Men’s Golf Media Guide 11 Facilities Local Golf Courses The Manhattanville golf programs are blessed to compete in Westchester County, where there are no shortage of beautiful golf courses of which the Valiants can take advantage. While, Manhattanville does not call one specific course home, the team has many local courses, including the ones below, that the players can use for hone their skills both at daily practice rounds or when hosting annual tournaments. The closest course to home, Doral Arrowwood (top right), is only a few miles up Anderson Hill Road in neighboring Rye Brook. A spectacular nine-hole course designed by Robert von Hagge, the designer of the “Blue Monster” in Miami, its 3,200-yard, par-35 layout makes it one of the most difficult nine-hole courses in the country and a great challenge for the Valiant golfers. Located in nearby Rye, The Apawamis Club (top left) is one of the oldest clubs in the country dating back to 1890. Not a long course at 6,471 yards from the back tees, Ben Hogan once called it “the toughest short course I have ever played.” Its 18-hole, par-72 course features small greens and demands pin-point accuracy from its golfers, providing a great practice course for Manhattanville. Yet another local course is Hudson Hills Golf Course in Ossining (bottom right), one of Westchester County’s newest public golf courses. Stretching to 6,935 yards from the black tees, the par-71 layout hosted a 2009 USGA Men’s Publinks Qualifier and challenges golfers with its tight fairways. It also served as host of Manhattanville’s first-ever two-day tournament back in 2008. Overlooking the Long Island Sound, Hampshire Country Club (bottom left) served as host of the Manhattanville/NYU Invitational in 2009 and is located in nearby Mamaroneck. Built in 1927, the course features small and elevated greens as well as narrow, tree-line fairways. Combined with hilly terrain and plenty of water, Hampshire is a great place for Valiant golfers to test their skills. Locker Rooms Dedicated in October 1957 by the family of eventual United States President John F. Kennedy, Kennedy Gymnasium is the day-to-day home of the Manhattanville Department of Athletics as well as the home court for the Valiant basketball and volleyball teams. Kennedy’s main attraction, a basketball and volleyball arena, is flanked by strength, training, locker room and office facilities and is the operational home of all Valiant sports. Most in-season sports have their own space inside Kennedy Gymnasium’s several locker rooms (one of which is pictured to the left), with each player allowed his or her own locker. Inside the fully-enclosed locker rooms, the coaching staff can address the team before and during matches, and the rooms are a perfect congregating spot for teams at any time throughout the season. The rest of the locker room facilities inside Kennedy Gym include full shower and locker facilities, as well as access to Manhattanville’s swimming pool, strength and conditioning facilities, and athletic training facilities. The offices of almost all varsity head and assistant coaches at the school are also located within Ken- nedy Gym, as are the offices of all Manhattanville athletics administrators. Kennedy Gymnasium is also host to several camps and local recreational groups during the summer. Manhattanville’s athletic trophies and banners, highlighting the program’s best accomplishments throughout the school’s distinguished athletic history, are also located inside the lobby and main arena of Kennedy Gymnasium. Strength & Conditioning Focused on the development of the student-athlete, the Manhattanville Department of Athletics views strength and conditioning as one of the most important developmental tools. The facilities inside Kennedy Gymnasium are a testament to that philosophy. The strength and conditioning department is housed inside Healthworks, a large, state-of-the-art weight and cardiovascular training facility located on the bottom floor of Kennedy Gymnasium. The room includes several power development stations, glut ham benches, decline abdominal benches and physioballs and cardiovascular machines. In late 2007, Manhattanville College opened a new Student Center in the center of campus that includes a first-class workout area for the general student population, thus making Healthworks the exclusive strength and conditioning home of Valiant student-athletes. Healthworks is supervised by Manhattanville’s Head Strength and Conditioning Coach, Corey Crane. Crane, along with his assistant strength and conditioning coach, is responsible for managing and providing the design, implementation, supervision and evaluation of the strength and conditioning program utilized by all 21 Valiant varsity sports. Athletic Training The Sports Medicine facilities at Manhattanville College are located inside Kennedy Gymnasium and are the place where all Valiant student-athletes come to receive com- prehensive health care from any of Manhattanville’s three fully-certified, full-time athletic trainers. The athletic training staff has five main objectives: prevention of athletic injuries; recognition, evaluation and treatment of injuries that do occur; rehabilitation; health care administration and professional development. The athletic training staff also has on-campus access to state-of-the-art training methods, including ultrasound capability, electrical muscle stimulation and whirlpool treatments. Scott McIver, a veteran of nearly 20 years in sports medicine, is Manhattanville’s Head Athletic Trainer. McIver worked for the Valiants from 2000-02 following a 12-year stint as Associate Athletic Trainer at Pace University, and came back to the school for a second stint beginning in 2006. JR Barkamian joined the staff in August 2008 as Assistant Athletic Trainer after spending time at Division I Fordham University. The department also employs a full-time Graduate Assistant Athletic Trainer to help coordinate the school’s 21 sports. 12 2010-11 Manhattanville Men’s Golf Media Guide Manhattanville College Manhattanville College, located just north of in thriving Westchester County, has been educating young people on its beautiful 100-acre campus for over 150 years.

Salas said his mission in Iraq was to “win the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people,” but he continued that while the service was at times challenging, “it was the letters that kept me going. From kids, boy scouts, students. A letter was like a piece of gold, something you wanted to keep for the rest of your life.” When Salas got back to Manhattanville, he wanted to help his fellow soldiers overseas and approached former College President Richard A. Berman with an idea. Together with Berman and administrator Anne Gold, they launched the My Soldier program on February 14, 2004. Participants in the My Soldier program, who are not limited to Manhattanville students, send letters and occasional care packages overseas to boost the quality of life for American troops. A non-politically affiliated program,My Solider has been wildly successful, with participants from all 50 states and over 400,000 people in total, reaching more than 175,000 U.S. troops.
