Tournament Titles (PDF) | Letterwinners Ole Miss began a new era in women's golf in 2007, with the hiring of Michele Drinkard as head coach. Sincer her arrival, the Rebels have made three consecutive NCAA Regional appearances won a tournament title for the first time since 2004 and had two individual tournament winners. Dori Carter became the first ever All-American in the history of the program. Carter, a native of Valdosta, Ga., ended her career as one of the top golfers in the history of the program. She ranks in the top two in nearly every category, including the lowest stroke average in a season with a 72.84 in 2008-09. Several improvements have been made to the University Golf Course, including the addition of the Whitten Golf House, home to both the men's and women's golf teams. The center houses team meeting rooms, locker rooms for both teams, coaches offices, areas for storage and repair of golf equipment as well as a state of the art center with computer equipment to help in training individuals. A new driving range for the teams was added in 2006, as well as a short-game facility in 2009. The latest addition to the teams is the Herrington Golf Center, expected to be completed by Christmas. The Clay and Elinor Herrington Charitable Remainder Trust provided a gift to construct the 3,600-square-foot indoor-outdoor practice facility with hitting and video bays that will enable the collegiate golfers to continue their practices regardless of weather conditions. |
