The Course at Yale – Third Hole
This is Yale
History
Yale University, founded in 1701, is the third-oldest
college in the United States and one of the foremost
research universities in the world. First known as the
Collegiate School, it changed its name in 1718 to honor
benefactor Elihu Yale.
Students
Since its first class, which had only one pupil,
Yale has expanded into a university with 5,200 undergraduates and 11 graduate and professional
schools with roughly 5,800 students. Women were
admitted to graduate schools in 1892 and to the
undergraduate college in 1969. Today they make
up about 50 percent of the enrollment. Students
come from all 50 states and over 70 countries.
Faculty
The Yale faculty includes more than 3,100
scholars, many of whom are internationally respected authorities in their fields. Fourteen Nobel
Prize winners have been associated with Yale.
Classes
There are approximately 2,000 courses and
75 majors or programs of study, including 35
different languages.
Admissions
In selecting a class of 1,300 from approximately 19,500 applicants, the Admissions
Committee looks for strong academic ability
and achievement combined with personal
characteristics such as motivation, curiosity, energy, and leadership ability. Academic
strength is indicated by grades, rigor of curriculum, standardized test scores, and evaluations by two teachers and a college counselor. Yale requires results of the College Board
Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT or SAT 1)
and any three SAT II: Subject Tests or the
American College Testing (ACT) Assessment.
In addition, students whose native language
is not English must submit results of the Test
of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).
Athletics
With 35 varsity sports teams and a large
intramural program, sports have a prominent
place at Yale. The University offers more than
500 acres of playing fields and nine-story
Payne Whitney Gym, one of the largest athletic structures in the world. No university
takes greater pride in its athletic heritage.
No fewer than 157 athletes have competed
in the Olympics. Together they have brought
home 102 medals - more than most nations
- including 54 gold, 21 silver and 27 bronze.
Financial Aid
It is Yale’s policy to admit all students
on the basis of academic and personal
promise without regard to their financial circumstances. In addition, the
University is committed to meeting
the full need of all admitted students by providing them with appropriate financial aid awards.
This “need-blind” admissions
policy applies to all applicants including international citizens.
Currently, approximately 45
percent of all Yale students receive financial assistance
through loans, scholarships
and work-study employment.
For more information, call the
Yale Financial Aid Office at
203-432-0360.
Residential Life
All incoming students
are assigned to one of 12
residential colleges before
they arrive freshman year.
All freshmen and sophomores are required to live
on campus. Each residential college has its own dining hall, as well as library,
computers, TV and game
rooms, and often theaters, weight rooms, and
music practice rooms.
The residential colleges
sponsor numerous academic and extracurricular programs, including
musical performances,
dramatic productions,
intramural
sports
teams, visiting fellowships and academic
seminars. A resident
master and dean take
care of the academic
and administrative
needs of each college, and faculty “fellows” participate in
the community by
acting as student
advisors and eating
in the college’s dining hall.

With all but one golfer from 2003-2004 returning, and
the addition of four talented recruits, Yale looks ready
to compete for its sixth Ivy League title in nine years.
The Bulldogs ended last year with a second-place
finish at the Ivy Championship, one of four secondplace finishes on the year. They also had one firstplace finish, at the Harvard Invitational, and should
experience even more success this year.
Yale’s 2003-2004 season was highlighted by a selection to the NCAA East Regional, the eighth time in
the last nine years the Bulldogs were selected. With
all five of the golfers who participated in the regional
returning, the Bulldogs figure to contend for the Ivy
title and another NCAA berth.
Team captain Lauren Ressler led the Bulldogs to
the title at the Harvard Invitational last fall, finishing
with a tournament-best 159. Classmate January
Romero won the William & Mary Invitational with a
145, setting a new program low in the process. She
had the team’s second-best stroke average on the
year (78.2). Jessica Shapiro played in all nine tournaments last year,
highlighted by a seventh-place finish at the
Harvard Invitational.

Mary Moan has made an immediate impact on the Yale women’s golf
program. In four years she has
guided Yale to two Ivy League titles
and two NCAA Championship appearances.
In her first year, the Bulldogs had
four top-three finishes, including a
second-place finish at the Ivy League
Championship. Moan led the Bulldogs to back-to-back Ivy titles in 2002
and 2003. Last year, Yale won the
Harvard Invitational and placed second at the Ivy Championship.
Prior to being named head coach at Yale, Moan served as
an assistant coach at the University of Florida for two years.
Moan, a 1997 Princeton graduate with an A.B. in history, played
a major role in turning around a Florida program that placed
11th at the Southeastern Conference Championships in 1999 to
one that tied for fifth in 2000 and placed 18th at the NCAA Championships.
Considered one of the finest female golfers from the Northeast, Moan won 16 collegiate tournaments at Princeton, including the 1997 Ivy League Championship, and was named to the
1997 National Golf Coaches’ Association All-America team after advancing to the NCAA Championships as an individual.
Moan was the first female golfer at Princeton to participate in
the NCAA Championships and be named a member of the East
team in the prestigious East-West Match competition at the NCAA
Championships.
In addition to winning the 1997 Ivy League championship,
Moan captured the 1996 ECAC title, the 1994, ’95 and ’97 New
England Collegiate Championship and the 1996 Pennsylvania
State Amateur Championship. During her college years, Moan
also was a four-time Philadelphia Stroke Play Champion from
1994-97. In 1998 she was named to the Ivy League Silver Anniversary women’s golf team.
A native of Far Hills, N.J., Moan was a distinguished junior
golfer at The Pingry School, where she won the 1991 Philadelphia Junior Girls’ Championship and was a 1993 American Junior Golf Association All-American. She received a Master’s Degree in Exercise and Sport Sciences with a concentration in Sport
Management from the University of Florida in December of 2003.

his golf career at the world famous
Turnberry Golf Courses, site of numerous Open Championships. The
2004-2005 season is his 30th year
as the Bulldog head coach. Paterson
has produced eight Ivy League titles,
10 NCAA qualifying teams and four
New England NCAA District I titles.
Paterson was selected District I
Coach of the Year in 1990, '91 and
'96. He is a past president of the Ivy
League Coaches Association and has served as chairman of
the NCAA District I selection committee for three terms. Paterson also has served as Tournament Chairman for the 1982 National Youth Insurance Classic and the 1988 USGA Junior National Amateur. He was appointed commissioner of golf for the
inaugural Special Olympic World Games held at Yale in 1995
and served as host to a Ben Hogan Tour event and two Nike
Tour events, both held at the Yale course.
Paterson is a 37-year member of the PGA of America. He
competed in PGA Tour events in the early 1960s as a visiting
British PGA member. He is a renowned teacher and has conducted golf clinics and seminars around the world.
As a youth, Paterson attended the Glasgow School of Art.

The Yale University golf program has enjoyed an illustrious history, from which a proud tradition of excellence has emerged.
Golf began at Yale with the formation of the Yale Golf Club in 1896. No school in the country has won more national men’s golf
championships than Yale. The Bulldogs have won 21 national titles, including nine straight from 1905-1913. In addition, 13 Yale
golfers have won individual national titles, while seven others captured Eastern titles from 1951-1974. Since 1970, 12 Eli men have
taken medalist honors at the Ivy League championships. Two Yale golfers have won the women’s tournament, which began in 1997. Yale
has won eight Ivy titles in men’s golf and five in women’s golf.
The Bulldogs have sent their fair share of golfers on to the pros. Peter All-Time National Titles (as of June 2004)
Teravainen '78, a three-time All-American at Yale, is a well-established profesOklahoma St. Wrestling
32
sional on the European and Japanese Tours. He won the Czechoslovak and
USC
Track
26
Japanese Opens and now resides in Singapore. Bob Heintz ’92 captured three
21
consecutive Ivy championships and represented the Bulldogs in the 1992 NCAA Yale Golf
20
Northeast Regionals before joining the professional ranks. In 1998 he became Iowa Wrestling
the first Ivy Leaguer to win a Nike Tour event when he captured the Shreveport UCLA Volleyball
18
(La.) Open.
Yale’s first year of varsity women’s golf was the spring of 1981, when head
coach Dave Paterson and three golfers competed in two dual matches. Mary Lee Rhodes ’81, Teddy Strain ’82 and Andrea Francus ’82
comprised the Yale squad, which lost to Rutgers and defeated Mt. Holyoke. Francus shot a 78 on the nine-hole course to win the match
at Mt. Holyoke.
The Ivy League did not formally recognize women’s golf until 1997, which is the year Yale began to attract notice in the East. The
Elis won the inaugural league championship tournament at Bethpage, N.Y. by 38 strokes over second-place Princeton. The
following April at Bethpage, Yale edged the Tigers by one stroke to capture the second league title, while Natalie Wong ’98
captured the individual championship. The Elis finished second with a score of 655 at the 1999 championship, two strokes
behind Princeton. Yale avenged that with a 10-stroke victory over the Tigers (640 to 650) in 2000. Sarah Seo ’02 earned the individual
honor with a score of 153 (78-75). In 2002 the Bulldogs captured the Ivy League crown for the fourth time and made their first
appearance in the NCAA Championships. In addition, Seo became the first player in Ivy League history to earn All-Ivy honors in each
of her four years. Yale repeated as Ivy champions in 2003.
Three former players have made their mark in the women’s professional ranks. Heather Daly-Donofrio, a 1991 Yale graduate,
has been competing on the LPGA Tour. She won her first tournament in 2001, capturing the Betsy King Classic. Cindy Toth ’90, a
Yale star and teammate of Daly-Donofrio, has also attempted to qualify for the LPGA Tour in recent years, while Natalie Wong ’98
currently competes on the Futures Tour.

In 1924, Mrs. Ray Tompkins gave Yale a 700-acre tract of swamp and woodland in memory of her husband. At that
time, the Bulldogs played at the New Haven Country Club. Under the supervision of Charles Blair Macdonald -- the
renowned golf course architect, champion golfer, and co-founder of the USGA -- plans were made for a new 18-hole golf
course. With a budget of $400,000, Macdonald, in collaboration with Seth Raynor and Charles Banks, designed a
masterpiece that was completed in 1926.
Today, the Course at Yale is recognized as one of the finest examples of early American golf course design. Over the
past year, it has undergone numerous renovations to restore its original layout. Large deeply bunkered greens and narrow
rolling fairways are the core of Yale’s penalizing character.
Golf magazine has ranked the course the 58th most difficult in the United States and Travel & Leisure magazine
placed it 78th in a poll of 100 classic courses. Many recognize the layout as the best collegiate course in the nation. Two
of the holes - the 432-yard par-4 fourth and the 238-yard par-3 ninth - have been ranked among the 100 most difficult holes.
The Yale course has been the site of every significant state championship; two USGA Junior National events; the
1991, 1995 and 2004 NCAA Eastern Regional championships; the 1991 ECAC Men’s Championship and the 1992 ECAC
Women’s Championship. During the NCAA tournament, only 21 subpar rounds were recorded of the 360 played during the
three days. The course has also been the home of three Hogan/Nike Events.
Among those who have competed on the course is David Duval, the PGA star who was with Georgia Tech at the 1991
NCAA Regional. Duval overcame a double-bogey on the ninth hole and shot a final-round 65, though he did not capture the
title. Jon Christian holds the men’s record with a 63 over the 6,679-yard, par-70 layout. The women’s record of 69 was set
by Heather Daly-Donofrio, a 1991 Yale graduate. Celebrities such as Sammy Davis Jr. and Gerald Ford have also played
the course.
The Prospect Hill Golf House
The clubhouse, a gift of the Prospect Hill Foundation, was dedicated on September 29th, 1984. Herb Newman, the
architect, designed a contemporary structure that blends with the surrounding forest land.
Within the building, vaulted ceilings and expansive windows offer magnificent views of the course and seasonal
foliage. A large dining room over-looking the third and fourth holes is the focal point of the clubhouse. A sun-lit garden patio
and a deck adjoin the main dining room. The unique hexagonal conference room, with a table to match, offers a tranquil
place for meetings. These rooms are home to Widdy’s, a restaurant
that serves gourmet food and fine wines in this serene setting.
A full-service pro shop, manned by a P.G.A. staff and stocked
with the latest golf fashions, high tech-equipment, rentals and repairs stands ready to help golfers through their day.

Athletics Mission
Yale University offers its students a liberal education, one
which has as its focus on the intellectual and moral development of the individual, and which gives students a foundation for learning throughout their lives. Yale has long recognized that such an education is not fostered by its academic component alone. Part of it is constituted by those
challenging and pleasurable experiences and extracurricular activities—like varsity and recreational athletics—that augment and enrich academic training.
In athletics, as everywhere else in the University, Yale is
strongly committed to equal opportunity, and affirmatively
seeks to attract exceptionally qualified students, coaches
and staff of diverse backgrounds to its ranks.
As a part of its great athletic tradition, the University sponsors 35 varsity teams, with broad opportunities for participation by men and women, in which athletes of proven ability have the opportunity to test their skill and valor in intercollegiate competition. Through its commitment to competitive athletics, Yale demonstrates its belief that the lessons
such engagement teaches are many and enduring. Among
these are learning how to strive to win, to compete with pride
and honor, to make sacrifices, to persevere when all seems
lost, and to develop a sense of obligation and responsibility
to others. These lessons make athletics a school for accomplishment and character, and for the athlete they represent
an invaluable part of the non-academic aspects of a liberal
education.
Because Yale views athletics as a component of liberal
education, complimentary to its central academic mission
but not superior to it, the University requires that aspiration
and achievement in competitive athletic endeavor play a pro-
portioned role within any student’s school life. The University also subscribes to the Ivy agreement, the principles of
which delimit the role competitive athletic endeavor plays in
the life of the University or of any individual student within it.
These principles include the belief that student athletes
should be generally representative of their class and admitted on the basis of academic promise and personal qualities as well as athletic abilities; that financial aid to student
athletes be awarded in the same way it is awarded to other
students, that is solely on the basis of financial need; that
student athletes be held accountable to the same academic
standards as other students; and that athletes make normal
academic progress toward their degrees.
In addition to its sponsorship of competitive sports, Yale
supports a wide range of extracurricular programs, including thosethat present significant opportunities for recreational
and instructional participation. The University provides supervision for over thirty club sports, and has developed a
large intramural program, which presents undergraduates,
graduate students, and faculty fellows with the opportunity
to participate in competitive sports throughout the calendar
year. Yale considers the opportunities it offers in these areas
to be an important contribution to the well-being of members of its community and is as dedicated to these extracurricular activities as to the continued strength of its competitive programs. In all aspects of sport and recreation, the
University recognizes that shared experience can help create a strong bond among members of the University community, and between the University community and the wider
world, and it is committed to fostering the spirit of pride and
fellowship that athletic endeavor can inspire.
