Twenty- five years earlier a campus-wide contest had been conducted to choose a nickname for The University’s athletics teams. Suggestions submitted by students, faculty, and alumni included Golden Blue Devils, Tip Toppers, Rubbernecks, Hillbillies, Kangaroos and Cheveliers. The winner, freshman Margaret Hamlin, received a prize of $10 for Zippers, a $6 pair of rubber overshoes and a brand name of the BF Goodrich Company.

The University of Akron 2011-12 Men’s golf • 3 Akron Zips Firestone country club The North and West Courses at the world-renowned Firestone Country Club serve as the home courses for The University of Ak- ron men’s golf team. The North Course opened in 1969 and has been rated by Golf Digest as one of Ohio’s top-10 courses.
Firestone Country Club, opened for play in 1929, was created by Harvey S. Firestone to serve as a recreational park for employees of the Akron-based Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, which he founded. The original links of the South Course were designed by the late Bert Way.
Professional golf first visited the Akron area in 1953, when the Rubber City Open was played at Breathnach Country Club in Cuyahoga Falls. The event moved to Firestone in 1954 as a fully- sanctioned tournament and continued through 1959.
The PGA Championship was awarded to Akron in 1960, and to provide a worthy test, architect Robert Trent Jones was hired to bring the course, which was then a 6,585-yard par-72, up to true thlete s Akron GOLF championship standards. When Jones was finished adding 50 bunkers and two new ponds, the new card listed 7,189 yards and a par 70.
The success of the PGA Championship in Akron led to a new event, the American Golf Classic, which began in 1961 and was played annually through 1976. The PGA Championship returned to the South Course in 1966 and again in 1975, making Firestone the first club to host this championship three times. a a ff s tudent- Since 1962, Firestone’s South Course has been the site for the an- nual World Series of Golf, a major event on the PGA Tour. For 14 years, the event brought together the winner of the Masters, U.S. Open, British Open and the PGA Championship for a two-round, 36-hole television competition. In succeeding years, Firestone played host to many other competitions, including the CBS Golf Classic and Big Three Golf.
The World Series of Golf was expanded in 1976 and offered the world of professional golf an international championship in which all the participants had won at least one tournament in the past year. In 1984, NEC Corporation became the event’s title sponsor. The PGA’s World Golf Championships NEC Invitational debuted at Firestone Country Club in August 1999, replacing the World Series of Golf. This tournament is part of a World Golf Championship se- ries, and features the game’s foremost players. Tiger Woods won the 2001 event for the third time in as many years. The course also

In 2001, the West Course was renovated by renowned golf course architect Tom Fazio, making Firestone Country Club the finest 54- hole golf facility in the world. firestone country club – north Course quick facts

One of the tougher holes that requires a
very accurate drive between two lakes and Akron golf Student-Athlete s St a very accurate second shot into a narrow green guarded by three green-side bun- kers.
Hole 12 Par 5 – 452 Yards
Maybe the hardest hole on the entire prop- erty. A very straight drive into the prevail- ing wind on this 452 yard hole will leave a mid to long iron into a deep but very nar-
row green guarded by bunkers on the right a ff 2010-11 R eview ecord s and a steep hillside on the left.
Hole 17 Par 3 – 218 Yards
Again, like the other par 3’s club selec- tion and a very accurate shot to this island green is required. The elevation of the tee- ing area and the predominant cross wind makes this hole very difficult.
Hole 18 Par 5 – 545 Yards
The tee shot is the key to this hole. Bite off as much as you can on this dogleg right and it is a pretty easy birdie. Water pro- tects the right side of the complete hole. The green is guarded by three front side bunkers and water on the right. A great fin- ishing hole.
The University of Akron 2011-12 Men’s golf • 5 Akron Zips indoor practice facility The University of Akron’s indoor golf facility is one of the finest in the Midwest. In order to assist with each student-athlete’s play on the course, the indoor golf facility features a putting green, bunker and a video motion analysis system.
In addition to helping the players perform on the course, the golf facility also features offices for the coaching staff and a study lounge to help classroom performance.
The biggest advantage the facility gives the golf team is the ability to train year round. Along with the use of state-of-the-art technology for performance analysis, UA’s golf team now has an advantage over the nation’s top competition.
In addition to the indoor golf facility, the Stile Athletics Field House features a full 120-yard AstroPlay field and a 300-meter Mondo track.
Additional components of the building include spectator seating thlete s Akron GOLF for approximately 1,200, a sports medicine center, varsity locker rooms and athletics equipment storage areas.
In 2006, additional offices were added to the facility, housing the coaching staffs for UA’s football, baseball, softball, men’s and women’s soccer, track and field, and cross country teams.
To help the team prepare for a long season on the course, the field house features a strength and conditioning center with over 8,000-square-feet of space, which includes both strength a a ff s tudent- training and rehabilitation equipment.
This addition to UA athletics enables the women’s golf team and the rest of the University’s intercollegiate teams to have an advantage when it comes to recruiting the top student-athlete’s in the nation. All 19 of UA’s intercollegiate athletics teams have access to the area, both in season and for off-season condition- ing workouts. R ecord s 2010-11 review St indoor practice facility quick facts
