NCAA COMPLIANCEThe importance of following all NCAA rules and regulations is imperative to main-taining the integrity of Wofford College and intercollegiate athletics. We ask all who are associated with the institutions athletics programs to help the College protect the spirit of competition, the athletics eligibility of our student-athletes and the reputa-tion of the College by adhering to the rules and regulations of the NCAA and by contacting the Compliance Office or the NCAA with all questions. If you have any questions about NCAA rules, please contact Elizabeth Rabb at (864) 597-4090, the Wofford website at woffordterriers.com and click on ‘Compliance,’ or the NCAA at www.ncaa.org.

What is a Representative of Athletics Interests (Booster/Donor)? All alumni, friends, and employees of the College are categorized as ‘representa-tives of athletics interest.’ The NCAA stipulates that once an individual has been identified as a ‘representative’ or “booster/donor” he/she retains this status forever even if the individual is no longer associated with the athletics program. Further-more the NCAA states that it is possible for a person to be a representative of more than one institution at the same time. A representative of athletics interest may not:• Contact a prospect’s coach, principal or counselor in an effort to evaluate a prospect• Visit the prospect’s institution to pick up film or transcripts• Contact a prospect, his/her parents, legal guardians or spouse on or off campus• Contact a prospect by telephone or letter• Make special arrangements to entertain a recruit• Provide extra benefits to a prospect, student-athlete or the parents, family and/or guardians of the prospects or student-athletes

THE TERRIER SCULPTUREA sculpture of a Terrier was unveiled on March 25, 2008 outside of the Student Life Building as a gift to Wofford College from the Class of 1956. The following is the text of an address given by Talmage Boyd Skinner, Jr., 1956, Chaplain Emeritus of Wofford College on the dedication.

The mascot of a college should, in large measure, represent the character of the place. In this Palmetto State, we are surrounded by a bevy of mascots. There are Gamecocks and Tigers, Bulldogs and a Rooster named Chanticleer, Indians, Paladins, Cougars, Valkyries, and one school has a sock for an ensign. There are Trojans, Pioneers, and Spartans, and various Cats and feathered creatures. In all the land, only two other schools are Terriers. Some will laugh when we affirm that we are the only true Terriers. Some chuckle when we are audacious enough to claim to be unique and even superior in so many aspects of being a college. The most arrogant of us will admit that there are many good colleges. We have even tried to copy some. I have always been a bit uncomfortable when we talk of another school being a – “flagship” that we need to emulate. Hey! We ARE the flagship! Forgive the pride of some old guys who have loved this little school for over half a century. Yes, we did not come to Wofford just to purchase an education; we joined Wofford. We were adopted into the family with a bond that cannot be broken. Many colleges claim to be family. We truly are. Ours is a bond of shared experience hammered out on the playing fields against foes our size and those with more students than we have living alumni. It does not stop with athletics. The term “student athlete” has authenticity at Wofford. The bond is from a shared academic experience that is not content just to pass on socalled facts, but prepares students to think and to continue to grow. The “proof of the pudding” is in the doctors, lawyers, college presidents and professors, teachers, coaches, leaders in business and service - even in the ministry of the Church. A bond is created in the experience of the arts - the theater program, choral music, strings. One thing we lack - a band - not just the band class that plays well once or twice a year, but a BAND for spirit and musical experience. A bond is created through service programs and the physical arts witnessed by so many exhibitions on campus. Not the least is a religious life program that is open and tolerant, that walks with students seeking answers and helps them first learn to ask questions. We, the Class of 1956 present this Terrier to our college as a symbol of Wofford Spirit in all aspects of this place like no other. We want to add to the tradition of this sacred ground. We want to remind the present Wofford that there is a past on which she stands and remind all of us that it all will be forgotten if we do not have a vision for the future. Our goal should be deeper than the usual quest for reputation, wealth, and prestige. Dr. Dunlap has always called Wofford a “kingdom of the just.” May that ever be our watchword. It may be a simple, unsophisticated phrase, but we are called not to be powerful, but good. As the prophet Micah said, “What does the Lord require of you but to do justice and to love kindness and to walk humbly with your God.” The Class of 1956 proudly and humbly presents this physical representation of the Spirit of Wofford College and all those members of our family who ever lived or presently live on the “City’s Northern Border,” and all who are yet to dwell in the shadow of the Twin Towers.

Wofford college

Wofford College, established in 1854, is a four-year, independent, residential liberal arts college located in Spartanburg, S.C. It offers a distinctive program with 25 major fields of study to a student body of 1,650 under-graduates. Nationally known for the strength of its academic program, outstanding faculty, study abroad participation and successful graduates, Wofford ranks well in U.S. News & World Report, The Princeton Review, The Fiske Guide to College, Kiplinger’s Personal Finance and the Open Doors Report on International Education Exchange, an organization that ranks Wofford #4 in the nation for study abroad participation. Wofford has produced six Rhodes Scholars and is home to one of the nation’s 283 Phi Beta Kappa chapters. A leader in offering high-impact learning opportuni-ties to students, Wofford encourages students to take advantage of all that Wofford, and through it the world, has to offer. These opportunities include internships with scientific, corporate and non-profit organizations across the globe, undergraduate research opportunities, service-learning in the local community, international study abroad programming and a thriving host of co-curricular op-portunities on campus. One of those co-curricular offerings is the R. Michael James Fund, a student-managed and operated invest-ment organization. The Space in the Mungo Center also prepares students for life after Wofford by offering profes-sional development, career services and much more. Student and residence life on campus include exciting Division I NCAA athletics, opportunities to participate in one of the college’s Greek-letter fraternities or sororities, competitive intramurals, a diverse selection of clubs, student publications and a housing plan that helps students progress from first year through fourth in a close-knit community that builds independence. The residence life experience culminates in a final year in The Village, beautiful, Charlestonian-style apartments

designed to help transition students from college student to successful graduate. Thanks to the generosity of alumnus and trustee Jerry Richardson ’59, construction on Wofford’s Rosalind Sal-lenger Richardson Center for the Arts and has begun, and the college soon will begin building the Jerry Richardson Indoor Stadium to house new basketball and volleyball arenas. Construction on the new Greek Village also has started. Wofford’s entire 175-acre campus is a national arboretum, named the Roger Milliken Arboretum at Wofford College in honor of the late longtime trustee and benefactor.

JERRY RICHARDSON INDOOR STADIUMWofford announced on Nov. 17, 2014, its plans to build the Jerry Richardson Indoor Stadium to house a new basketball/volleyball arena, locker rooms and other facilities. The facility will be adjacent to the north end of Gibbs Stadium, where the Terriers play football. Con-struction on the facility begins in the fall of 2015 with the opening date slated for September 2017. Wofford alumnus and trustee Jerry Richardson ‘59 provided the gift to fund the 110,000-square-foot facility that will include a 3,400-seat basketball arena and a 500-seat volleyball competition venue. The Jerry Richardson Indoor Stadium will serve as the home for women’s basketball, men’s basketball and volleyball and have a seating capacity for non-athletics functions, such as commencement and concerts, of 4,500. It will include home and visitor lockers for mul-tiple sports, a state-of-the-art training room, coaches’ offices and locker rooms and team meeting rooms. Other features include a video board and ribbon boards,

plus designated areas specifically designed for students, fans, children and donors. Four open-air suites also are planned.

ROSALIND SALLENGER RICHARDSON CENTER FOR THE ARTSWofford alumnus and Carolina Panthers founder and owner Jerry Richardson and his wife, Rosalind Rich-ardson, helped turn the first shovels of dirt on May 12, 2015, to begin construction of the Rosalind Sallenger Richardson Center for the Arts at Wofford College during a groundbreaking ceremony. The 67,000-square-foot facility will house the col-lege’s theatre and visual arts programs and will include a 300-seat performance hall along with a museum and a student gallery. It will feature two custom-made glass sculptures by internationally renowned artist Dale Chihuly. The Center for the Arts will feature a mate-rial pallet of masonry, stucco and copper. Large areas of glass will connect the interior to the outdoors, filling

art studios with natural light and creating transparency and openness between spaces and across an outdoor sculpture garden. Richardson, a 1959 Wofford graduate and member of the college’s board of trustees, provided the gift for the center in honor of his wife’s commitment and dedication to the arts.

GREEK VILLAGEGreek life at Wofford College has a long and vibrant his-tory, one steeped in tradition, philanthropy, fellowship, scholarship, leadership, and the ideals of brotherhood and sisterhood. Wofford’s fraternity houses were con-structed in the mid-1950s and were filled with fond memories for students and alumni, but have served their purpose. They will be replaced with new, more serviceable spaces for North-American National Inter-fraternity Conference organizations and add options for National Panhellenic Conference and National Pan-Hellenic Council organizations. The Greek Village will be located across Evins Street from the main portion of campus and will be completed in the spring of 2016.

MR. RICHARDSON

Any tribute to the life and accomplishments of Jerry Richardson must include a strong emphasis on the word “teamwork.” Along every step of Richardson’s remark-able journey, he has relied on and been tremendously supported by a faithful group surrounding him, includ-ing family, coaches, teammates, business associates, and a close circle of personal friends for a lifetime. A large number of those connections are tied back to Wof-ford College, and for many years, Richardson has been quick to say that “without Wofford’s influence on my life, I would not have been able to accomplish what I have.” Jerry Richardson was born in July 1936 in Spring Hope, N.C., as an only child to George Bertram Rich-ardson and Mary Williams Richardson, but considers nearby Fayetteville as his hometown. He became a star athlete at Fayetteville High School, befriended six men who would be lifelong friends, and was coached and mentored by Bob Prevatte, a 1950 Wofford graduate, whose influence on young Richardson would be pro-found. Upon graduating from Fayetteville High in 1954, Richardson accepted a $250 scholarship to Wofford Col-lege to play football, where his tireless work ethic and physical talent quickly caught the attention of Terrier coaches and fans. The three-time All-South Carolina, and two-time All-American, still holds school records for career touchdown receptions with 21, season touch-down receptions with 9, and most receiving yards in a game with 241. As a Wofford student-athlete, Richardson was select-ed to membership in Blue Key National Honor Fraternity and Scabbard and Blade, was a member of the Kappa Alpha fraternity and chaired the Interfraternity Council as well as being selected to Who’s Who in American Col-leges and Universities. Richardson earned All-America honors and attracted enough attention from pro scouts to be drafted by the Baltimore Colts of the National Football League prior to his senior season at Wofford, at which time he was Terrier team captain. He moved successfully into the NFL, enjoying two seasons with the Colts. He caught a game clinching touchdown pass in the 1959 championship game in which the victorious

Colts became World Champions. By that time, Richardson had married his college sweetheart, Rosalind Sallenger of Florence, SC, and they were beginning to start their family, which ultimate-ly would comprise sons Jon and Mark, and daughter Ashley. He made the decision not to return to the Colts for the 1960 season, choosing instead to join forces and invest his NFL championship bonus check with his quarterback at Wofford, Charlie Bradshaw, who had signed an agreement to open in Spartanburg the first franchise of Hardee’s Food Sys-tems. Their first Hardee’s franchise opened on Kennedy Street in Spartanburg in October 1961, and a new company they named Spartan Food Systems was born. Over time, Richardson and Bradshaw recruited into their company a significant number of Wofford friends, former teammates and coaches, build-ing a legendary team driven to be highly successful. Taking the company public in 1969, the team that Richardson and Bradshaw had formed was able to have their firm listed on the New York Stock Exchange before turning age 40, which had been an initial goal. The company grew into a Fortune 500 stalwart, with over 110,000 employees and interests in more than 2,500 restaurants and other holdings. With their phenomenal success came opportunities to expand the company, so they acquired the Quincy’s steakhouse chain in 1977, before joining forces with TW Corporation, a spinoff from Trans World Airlines. Eventu-ally, under Richardson’s leadership, this new company included Canteen Corporation and the Denny’s restau-rant chain. In 1993, a career-long dream on which Richardson had been actively working for seven years was real-ized when the investment team that he had put to-gether was successful in earning the 29th franchise of

the NFL—the Carolina Panthers, to be headquartered in Charlotte. Richardson became the first former NFL player to become an owner since George Halas of the Chicago Bears. Vital to Richardson’s dream was for the franchise to be truly regionally supported, and central to that goal was to have the team’s summer preseason training camp to be located on the campus of his alma mater, Wofford. His service to Wofford has been never-ending. Cur-rently, Richardson is in the middle of the third twelve-year term he has served on the Wofford Board of Trust-ees. He has been a major benefactor to every significant financial campaign at the college since graduating in 1959, and he and his family have established the most prestigious scholarships offered by the college, known as the Richardson Family Scholarships. The recognitions that Richardson has earned are nu-merous, but would include the Order of the Palmetto and the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, which are the two highest civic recognitions that the states of South Caro-lina and North Carolina, respectively, can bestow. He is also the only individual ever to be inducted into both the Business and Athletic Halls of Fame for these two states.

THE RICHARDSON BUILDING The home of the Wofford College Athletic Department is the Richardson Physical Activities Building. The facility includes offices for the administration, football, basketball and other sports on the second floor. Also included on the second floor is an aerobic dance room and weight room with machine and free weights along with a variety of cardio machines. Locker rooms for football, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s soccer and a training room are located on the first floor. Wofford alumnus and Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson made a $1 mil-lion donation in 2008 that was used for enhancing the Richardson Building. Numerous improvements were made in the facility to ensure that it is one of the most advanced athletic facilities in the nation. Enhancements to the Richardson Building include new paint and carpet in the entire facility. The coaching and administration suites were reconfigured to provide better reception areas. Football and men’s basketball offices were outfitted with a new video system, including computers, editing software and large-screen monitors. This new system is similar to those being used by the NFL and NBA. Inside the Harley Room, a new audio/video system was installed to handle the variety of events held in the room. New displays for academic honors, Southern Confer-ence honors and the Hall of Fame are a part of the project. Additional murals and photos compliment the building and give it a fresh look. In addition, the fitness facilities have been upgraded as well. Nearly $100,000 worth of new equipment was added to supplement the current selection of treadmills and elliptical machines. The cardio area features six flat panel televisions for viewing while working out. The fitness area is used by the entire student body at Wofford.

MISSION STATEMENTThe aim of the Wofford College Strength and Conditioning Department is to allow every student-athlete the best training opportunity with proper instruction and program implementation to create progressive gains in strength, speed, fitness levels, mobility and body composition over the tenure of the athletic career. This will be achieved through a created culture consumed with hard work, discipline, commitment, and knowledge of the craft of training in a highly competitive environment.

THE PHILOSOPHYThe Strength and Conditioning Program consists of prescribed training based on sport specific demands with a great emphasis on properly executing movement patterns and training within the assigned threshold to optimize abilities and capabilities. Keys to this are: • Evaluation and Assessment • Individual Needs / Sport Specificity • Weight Training Movements • Running Prescription • Plyometric Training • Student-Athlete Health • Recovery and Restoration • Training Culture

THE JOE E. TAYLOR CENTER Wofford alumnus and South Carolina Secretary of Commerce Joe Taylor donated $1 million for the renovation of the Curry Building into the Joe E. Taylor Athletic Center The Taylor Center features a 7,000 square foot weight room and offices for athletic department staff. The building, located next to Gibbs Stadium, was completed in June of 2009. The weight room facility is equipped with a total of 24 racks with built-in pull-up bars and nearly 25,000 pounds of plates, dumbells and olympic weights. The 24 racks are divided, with twelve used with platforms and twelve used with benches. Additional equipment includes four pulldown machines, four low row machines, five power run-ners, six glute/ham machines, two decline ab machines, a leg press and exercise bike. Also included is a large area of Mondo track flooring, which is used with the step-up boxes, plyo boxes and hurdle sets in speed development. The Taylor Center also provides offices for administration and numerous sports, including men’s and women’s soccer, baseball, men’s and women’s golf, volleyball, men’s and women’s tennis and cross country and track and field.

@WoffordTerriers

Vic Lipscomb is in his 12th season as Wofford’s head men’s golf coach in 2015-16. He has guided the Terriers to six tournament victories, nine runner-up finishes and 32 top-fives in his tenure, as well as seven individual tournament championships.

Wofford continued its success in 2014-15, as Lipscomb coached the Terriers to two tournament titles, three runner-up finishes and an individual championship. The Terriers teed off the season by winning their very first tournament, the Rutgers Invitational (Sept. 19-20), with a three-round score of 7-over-par 859. Three weeks later, Wofford took second at the Donald Ross Intercollegiate (Oct. 13-14), followed by another second-place finish at the Camden Collegiate Invitational (Oct. 18-19), one shot back of team champion and host South Carolina. Terrier senior Brannan Hudson was the tournament medalist, carding a school-record total of 9-under-par 201. Hudson set school records for low round (63), low 36 (130), low 54 (201) and low score in relation to par (-9).

Just as the Terriers started the fall with a win, they started the spring of 2015 with a tournament championship at the Wexford Plantation Intercollegiate (Feb. 23-24). Wofford beat out 19 teams for the title, carding a two-round score of 10-over-par 586. The Terriers went on to take third at the Davidson Invitational (March 3-4) and another second-place finish at their very own Coca-Cola Wofford Invitational (April 13-14). Wofford matched the school record it set a year earlier at The Country Club of Spartanburg with a 24-under-par 840. The Terriers concluded the season by finishing fourth at the Southern Conference Tournament. Hudson finished fifth on the individual leaderboard at 1-under-par 215. At the conclusion of the tournament, Jeremy Grab was named to the All-Southern Conference Team, becoming the first Terrier since 2011 to land the honors.

The 2013-14 year was one to remember for Lipscomb’s program, coaching the Terriers to two tournament victories and new school records. The first victory came at the Donald Ross

Intercollegiate (Oct. 14-15), where Wofford shot a 16-under-par 824 to shatter the 54-hole program record of 846 set in 2009. The Terriers took home the individual championship as well, with senior George Perkovich earning medalist honors at 8-under 202. A few weeks later, Wofford won its second tournament of the fall, taking home the title at the Hummingbird Intercollegiate (Nov. 3-5) and overcoming a four-stroke final-round deficit to do so.

The spring of 2014 saw the Terriers earn two more top-five finishes, first taking fifth of 14 teams at the Davidson Invitational (March 3-4) and later earning third in the 15-team field at the 26th Coca-Cola Wofford Invitational (April 14-15). Wofford completed its home tournament with a 24-under-par 840, breaking the program record for a tournament score in relation to par of 18-under at the 2009 Sea Trail Intercollegiate. Freshman Andrew Novak finished tied for second with an 8-under 208. At the SoCon Championship (April 20-22), hosted at Pinehurst National, junior Cory Taylor shot a final-round 6-under 66 to earn sixth place, while the Terriers finished seventh. At the conclusion of the tournament, Novak was named to the SoCon All-Freshman Team.

The 2012-13 squad’s season was highlighted by five Top 5 finishes, including second place at the Coca-Cola Wofford Intercollegiate. Other top finishes included third at the Donald Ross Intercollegiate, fourth at the Cobra PUMA Invitational, fifth at the Hummingbird Intercollegiate and fifth at the Forest Hills Collegiate.

In 2011-12, the Terriers finished in the top ten in five tournaments highlighted by a fourth place finish at the Southern Conference Championship. It was the Terriers best finish since the 2007 SoCon Championship. Freshman, Brannan Hudson finished in second place with a 218. He was Wofford’s highest individual finisher since the 2003 season when Daniel Sloan finished in a tie for fifth place.

Lipscomb’s 2010-11 team finished in the top ten in eight tournaments including first at the Davidson College Invitational.

Vic LipscombHead coacH - 12tH season

Wofford ‘70

Wofford took sixth that season at the SoCon Championship, while Chandler Brazeal competed for the Terriers in the NCAA Southeast Regional and was named SoCon Freshman of the Year. Brazeal and teammate Brent McKenzie earn All-SoCon Honors.

In 2009-10, his Terriers placed in the top five in six tournaments throughout the season. They took ninth at the SoCon Championship as Mark Joye finished in 13th. Joye, that same season, was honored by the SoCon as Golfer of the Month and Freshman of the Year. Garrett Medeiros competed for the Terriers in the NCAA Southeast Regional finishing in 41st place. Wofford had two players named to the GCAA All-Academic team, Medeiros and Mike McKenzie. Medeiros and Joye were both named to the All-SoCon team.

In 2008-09, Lipscomb guided the Terriers to their best team score in the Southern Conference championship since 2002. He directed the program to the WCU Intercollegiate title in the fall of 2006 and has coached an All-Southern Conference selection four of his five seasons, including current senior and 2009 honoree Garrett Medeiros.

In addition, a number of his players have garnered Southern Conference Player of the Month or Player of the Week accolades including Neil O’Brien who earned All-SoCon and SoCon Freshman of the Year in 2006.

Lipscomb returned to the Spartanburg, S.C., campus in the summer of 2004 as the program’s inaugural director of golf. After one season, he assumed the duties of head men’s coach.

Lipscomb is a 1970 Wofford graduate and a member of the Terriers’ Athletic Hall of Fame and the South Carolina Golf Hall of Fame. The Union, S.C., native was also selected to the inaugural Hall of Fame class for Union High School.

Among his myriad of honors, Lipscomb was named the 1994 Carolinas PGA Golf Professional of the Year. He was also the 1989 Carolinas PGA Teacher of the Year and the 1986 Carolinas PGA Player of the Year.

Lipscomb was the head golf professional at The Carolina Country Club in Spartanburg, S.C., from 1990-2003. Previously, he was the head golf professional at the Country Club of Orangeburg (1977-90) and did a PGA apprenticeship at Scioto Country Club in Columbus, Ohio (1972-77).

During his undergraduate days, Lipscomb was a captain and most valuable player for the Terrier golf team. He helped lead Wofford to the 1970 state championship.

Lipscomb has remained a successful active player through the years. He has won three South Carolina Opens, a Carolinas Open and a total of 10 major Carolinas PGA championships. He was named the 1986 CPGA Player of the Year and earned Senior PGA Player of the Year honors in 1999 and 2000.

He qualified three times for The Heritage Classic and played twice in the PGA Championship. He also qualified for the 1979 Kemper Open in Charlotte, N.C., and two senior PGA Championships.

Lipscomb and his wife, Sandra, have three sons: Victor, David and Jonathan.

The Wofford Invitational is one of the most prestigious men’s tournaments in the Southeast. It invites partici-pants from around the nation to compete in a two-day, 54-hole event. What sets the tournament apart from the others in the region is the strong tradition that began when the Terriers were a member of NCAA Division II. In the 25 years the tournament has been held, there have been 15 different team champions crowned at the Carolina Country Club and Country Club of Spartanburg. The list of champions and participants is impressive, but it is the golfers who have competed for the individual title that makes the tournament what it is. The Wofford Invitational has instant recognition with the likes of PGA Tour veterans Gibby Gilbert, Len Mattiace, Richard Coughlan, Brett Quigley, Charlie Rymer, and Kevin Johnson all walking the Carolina Country Club as tournament players.

terrIers take home the natIonal ChampIonshIpJune 8, 1973

GRAMLING, S.C.—Wofford’s Terriers stunned the rest of the NAIA National Golf Tournament field with a sizzling final round to win the national championship by 14 strokes at the Village Greens Country Club.

The Terriers’ title marks the first national collegiate champion-ship won by a South Carolina team in any sport, and the victory margin was among the largest posted in NAIA national golf com-petition. Campbell College of Buies Creek, N.C., nine shots back after the second round, turned in a fine 297 total, but could only watch as Wofford rolled over the hill-laden course for a 73-72-75-72--292 showing.

The Terriers posted the best team total in each of the tourna-ment’s three days. But, as fate and the bounce of the ball would have it, the individual crown eluded Wofford. The top individual Terrier was sophomore Marion Moore, who produced a par 72 to finish three shots back of the leaders at 216. Wofford’s Paul Hyman was fourth at 217 and the Terriers’ Pat Crowley tied for seventh at 220.

Wofford’s top four players received NAIA All-American honors. Wofford coach Earl Buice was named the NAIA Coach of the Year after adding the national championship to his list of four district championships and two state crowns.

Wofford was never challenged the last day as none of the other 16 schools could mount a charge

the 1973 ChampIonshIp team ClaImed the fIrst natIonal tItle for any ColleGIate team In the state of south CarolIna.

This past spring marked the 40th anniversary of Wof-ford’s NAIA National Championship. In honor of the event, all five members of the ‘73 championship team recreated the photo they took 40 years prior, holding the national cham-pionship banner and standing in the same order they stood that same day. In place of Wofford’s late head coach Earl Buice and the NAIA Commissioner pictured in the original photo, both children of the late head coach Earl Buice held the championship trophy.

The event was held in conjunction with the Coca-Cola Wofford Invitational at the Country Club of Spartanburg. After watching the men’s golf team finish its round, the national championship team took part in a dinner and cer-emony to commemorate their accomplishments.

@WoffordTerriers

P.J. Boatwright, a 1951 Wofford College graduate, was the world’s foremost authority on the Rules of Golf.Boatwright was Executive Director, Rules and Competitions, for the United States Golf Association (USGA). Inside the game, he was known as “Mr. Rules,”

having helped to write or rewrite many of them.As a senior rules official of the USGA, Boatwright was a towering and familiar figure at U.S. Open Championships. More than any other individual, Boat-

wright was responsible for the playing conditions and conduct of the Open. Over a period of 31 years, he oversaw the course setup and conduct of virtually every USGA championship. As Joint Secretary of the World Amateur Golf

Council, he was responsible for the conduct of the World Amateur Team Championships for men and women.During championships, Boatwright carried his walkie-talkie in the outer pocket of his jacket in order to keep his hands free to finesse his signature pipe.“P.J. Boatwright, for about a dozen years, was the most powerful person in amateur golf and maybe all of golf,” Wofford head men’s golf coach Vic Lip-

scomb said. “His finger was on the pulse for all golf played in the United States.”Boatwright joined the USGA in 1959 and was its longest-tenured and most revered staff member. He became executive director in 1969 and executive

director of rules and competitions in 1980. Boatwright’s stature was such that the quadrennial rules conference between the USGA and the Royal and An-

cient, traditionally held at St. Andrew’s, had been rescheduled for Florida in the hope that Boatwright might be able to attend before he passed away. As Michael Bonallack, secretary of the R&A, said, “A rules conference without P.J. would be like strawberries without cream.”

Boatwright was the guardian of tradition in all things related to golf, and especially liked to see narrow fairways and slick, firm greens in the Open.

Boatwright oversaw his last event in New Zealand in October 1990, when the United States won the Women’s World Amateur Team Championship at the Russley Golf Club in Christchurch, and Sweden captured the men’s championship at the Christchurch Golf Club.

The last significant shot he saw was Phil Mickelson’s 40-foot putt for a birdie on the last hole that saved the United States a tie for second place with New Zealand.

Boatwright, who was born in Augusta, Ga., walked his first 18 holes at age 10. He didn’t have a club in hand. He was just there to keep his grandfather company. Shortly thereafter, he played his first nine holes at the Augusta Arsenal Golf Club.

Growing up in Spartanburg, S.C., Boatwright became a championship amateur golfer. He won the South Carolina Amateur in 1951 and the Carolina Open in 1957 and 1959. Overall, he qualified for four United States Amateurs. Boatwright’s handicap was once a +1.

The P.J. Boatwright Memorial Trophy was established in 1992 to honor the team champion at the Wofford Invitational each spring at The Carolina Country Club in Spartanburg.

Boatwright was the recipient of the 1990 William D. Richardson Award for distinguished contributions to golf, given by the Golf Writers Association of America. He also received the Metropolitan (New York) Golf Association’s Distinguished Service Award in 1983 and the Metropolitan Golf Writers Association’s 1986 Gold Tee Award.

Boatwright was selected as a member of the Wofford Athletic Hall of Fame, the South Carolina Athletic Hall of Fame and the Carolinas Golf Hall of Fame.Photos courtesy USGA. All Rights Reserved.

SPARTANBURG, S.C.—Rion Moore carried a four-shot lead going into the final round and finished with a birdie on the final hole to record a 74 to capture the South-ern Conference individual championship by one stroke over East Tennessee State’s David Christensen, the first league title by any Wofford individual or team. Moore landed his second shot four feet from the hole on the par-5 18th hole, but could not make his eagle putt which would have sent the tournament into a sudden-death playoff for the team championship. However, Moore did make the birdie try to preserve the individual title.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.—Wofford’s William McGirt made par on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff Sunday to win the individual title at the 2001 Southern Confer-ence Men’s Golf Championship. McGirt was tied with East Tennessee State’s Pat Beste at 5-under par 205 after regulation.

The Wofford senior two-putted on the 352-yard, par four first hole at the par 70 Chat-tanooga Golf and Country Club. Beste’s tee shot on the playoff hole went left of the fairway among a tree-lined area, and he managed a bogey to finish as the runner-up.

McGirt had been two back from the lead after the first two rounds of play and was one shot behind Beste. However, he birdied his first hole in the final round to close in on the lead.

“I felt like I needed to get off to a good start and I did that,” McGirt said.Ironically, Beste was last year’s SoCon medalist while McGirt finished a stroke back to

place second. Wofford head coach Dan O’Connell felt that the win was most fitting for the talented senior.

“What a great way for him to close out his career,” O’Connell said. “He really, really deserved to win it, especially after last year.”

The win, McGirt’s first of the season, coin-cided with the final competition of his col-legiate career. For the senior, there was no better way to finish.

“It was a great way to go out,” McGirt said. “I didn’t have a great fall, but the last three tournaments have gone well. I ended on a good note.”

The Wofford men’s and women’s golf teams, beginning in the fall of 2006, utilize the newly renovated Golf Learning Center on campus. Thanks to generous gifts from many friends, families and alumni, the Terrier programs have a first-class indoor facility which is exclusively reserved for their use.

The center is located on the upper floor of Andrews Field House, the former varsity on-campus gymnasium. The venue contains 17 lockers, one for each of the men’s and women’s student-athletes, a hitting area, video capabilities for swing and technique study and storage capacities. With a clubhouse-type locker room setting, the Terriers can study their aca-demic courses or review their golf game on a large HDTV. Two computer stations are also available with full email and internet access.

spartanBurg

The City’s origins predate the Revolutionary War. Spartanburg was named for a unit of American Revolu-tion forces called the “Spartan Rifles” who helped defeat the British at the Battle of Cowpens in 1781, under the leadership of General Daniel Morgan. The town of Spartanburg was incorporated in 1831 and later as a city in 1880 by the 13 Original States and Tennessee. During this time Spartanburg was booming due in large part to the rapidly expanding textile indus-try. In the 1870s, Spartanburg became a railroad “hub city,” with mainline railroads extending from Magnolia Street depot in all directions, taking passengers and freight to Charleston, Augus ta, Atlanta, Asheville, Char-lotte and points beyond. As many as 90 trains per day could be seen and heard operating in Spartanburg dur-ing the golden age of the American railroad, 1900-20. During the 1920s, Spartanburg built South Caro lina’s first municipal airport and claimed the state’s first com-mercial radio station (WSPA). Its leader ship in the state was reflected by the election of several residents as gov-ernor. Thousands of U.S. soldiers bound for overseas service in World Wars I and II trained at camps in Spartanburg. The post headquarters for Camp Wadsworth (1917-19) was located at the present site of WestGate Mall, and the Camp Croft (1940-45) was located south of the city. Much of that military reservation has become Croft

THE HUB CITYTHE HUB CITY

State Park. After World War II, Spartanburg made a con certed ef-fort to promote its location at the junction of Interstates 85 and 26 to international business. One of the greatest successes of this campaign was the development of the BMW manufacturing center near the Greenville-Spar-tanburg Airport. Spartanburg’s downtown, which always has been anchored by the campuses of Wofford and Converse Colleges, has been undergoing a major revival since the mid-1990s. In addition to the corporate headquarters for Denny’s, Advance America, QS-1 and several other companies, the city has acquired a magnificant public library, the Marriott Hotel at Renaissance Park and most recently, the Chapman Arts Center and the USC Upstate George Dean Johnson School of Business. The area surrounding Morgan Square gradually is redevelop-ing with a variety of interesting restaurants and urban apartment-style housing. Throughout the 20th century, textile manufac turing companies formed the backbone of the Spartanburg

economy. The most significant of these companies still in operation is internation ally respected Milliken & Company. Blessed by geography and climate as well as by energetic and well-educated citizenry, Spartan burg is emerging as one of the centers of a 21st century me-troplex that extends along the South Carolina portion of the I-85 corridor.

@WoffordTerriers

Kirk Whitehead (above) is the lastest men’s golf player to be inducted into Phi Beta Kappa.

At the end of the last academic year, there were approximately 2,000 four-year colleges in the United States. Only 262 of them have the right to induct their graduates into Phi Beta Kappa, the nation’s most prestigious liberal arts honor society. There are five independent Phi Beta Kappa colleges and universities in the Carolinas: Wofford, Davidson, Duke, Furman and Wake Forest. Founded at the College of William and Mary in December 1776, Phi Beta Kappa was the first of the Greek letter fraternities and adopted such rituals as the badge, the secret oath, and the special handclasp from the various secret societies of the day. Phi Beta Kappa, however, was also devoted to the principles of “friendship, morality, and literature (or learning),” and these characteristics gradually attained the greatest emphasis. John Quincy Adams, Edward Everett and Joseph Story, members of the Harvard chapter, are credited with making the fraternity a public literary and honor society for undergraduates in the 1830’s. Women were first admitted to Phi Beta Kappa in 1875 at the University of Vermont. Wofford received its chapter at the 1940 triennial meeting, bringing to fruition more than ten years of work by three Phi Beta Kappa members who were then serving on the faculty: President Henry Nelson Snyder, Dr. David Duncan Wallace, class of 1894, and Dr. John West Harris ’16, a brash and brilliant young English professor not afraid to campaign vigorously in the conviction that his alma mater deserved membership. (Dr. Harris later founded the National Beta Club, which still has its headquarters in Spartanburg). With about 350,000 members across the country, Phi Beta Kappa today sponsors numerous programs to encourage scholarship and learning, including the Phi Beta Kappa Book Awards and the visiting scholar, academic fellowship and leadership programs. For these reasons, Phi Beta Kappa Day at Wofford has institutional significance, as well as being especially memorable for the new members, each of whom will receive the traditional Phi Beta Kappa watch key or pin.

soutHern conference

The Southern Conference, which is in its 95th season of intercollegiate competition in 2015-16, is a national leader in emphasizing the development of the student-athlete and in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models. The Southern Conference has been on the forefront of innovation and originality in developing creative solutions to address issues facing intercollegiate athletics. From establishing the first postseason college basketball tournament (1921), to tackling the issue of freshman eligibility (1922), to developing women’s championships (1984), to becoming the first conference to install the 3-point goal in basketball (1980), the Southern Conference has been a pioneer. The Southern Conference is the nation’s fifth-oldest NCAA Division I collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley (1907), the Pac-12 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of origination. Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference’s tradition. Hundreds of Southern Conference student-athletes have been recognized on Capital One Academic All-America and All-District teams. A total of 20 Rhodes Scholarship winners have been selected from conference institutions, including Wofford volleyball player Rachel

Woodlee, who earned the honor in 2012-13. The Conference currently consists of 10 members in six states throughout the Southeast and sponsors 20 varsity sports and championships that produce participants for NCAA Division I Championships. The Southern Conference offices are located in the historic Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, S.C. A textile mill that was in operation from 1880 until 1999, Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004 and today offers the league first-class meeting areas and offices as well as a spacious library for storage of the conference’s historical documents.

MEMBERSHIP HISTORY On Feb. 25, 1921, representatives from 14 of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association’s (SIAA) 30 members met at Atlanta’s Piedmont Hotel to establish the Southern Intercollegiate Conference. On hand at the inaugural meeting were officials from Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute (Auburn), Clemson, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology (Georgia Tech), Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi A&M (Mississippi State), North Carolina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Polytechnic Institute (Virginia Tech) and Washington & Lee.

Dr. S.V. Sanford of Georgia was chosen as acting chairman and N.W. Dougherty of Tennessee was named secretary. The decision to form a new athletic conference was motivated by the desire to have a workable number of conference games for each league member. With 30 schools in the SIAA by the early 1920s, it was impossible to play every school at least once during the regular season and many schools went several years between playing some conference members. In addition, in 1920, the SIAA voted down proposed rules that an athlete must be in a college a year before playing on its teams and refused to abolish a rule permitting athletes to play summer baseball for money. Play began in the fall of 1921, and a year later, six more schools joined the fledgling league, including Tulane (which had attended the inaugural meeting but had elected not to join), Florida, Louisiana (LSU), Mississippi, South Carolina and Vanderbilt. VMI joined in 1925 and Duke was added in 1929.By the 1930s, membership in the Southern Conference had reached 23 schools. C.P. “Sally” Miles of Virginia Tech, president of the Southern Conference, called the annual league meeting to order on Dec. 9, 1932, at the Farragut Hotel in Knoxville, Tenn. Georgia’s Dr. Sanford announced that 13 institutions west and south of the Appalachian Mountains were reorganizing as the Southeastern Conference. Members of the new league included Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Florida, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Mississippi A&M, University of the South, Tennessee, Tulane and Vanderbilt. According to the minutes of the meeting, Dr. Sanford stated that the division was made along geographical lines. Florida’s Dr. J.J. Tigert, acting as spokesman for the withdrawing group, regretted the move but believed it was necessary as the

The Southern Conference office is located in the refurbished Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, less than a mile from the Wofford campus.

Southern Conference had grown too large. The resignations were accepted and the withdrawing schools formed the new league, which began play in 1933. The Southern Conference continued with membership of 10 institutions, including Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina, Virginia, VMI, Virginia Tech and Washington & Lee. The second major shift occurred some 20 years later. By 1952, the Southern Conference included 17 colleges and universities. Another split occurred when seven schools – Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest – departed to form the Atlantic Coast Conference, which began play in 1953. The revamped Southern Conference included members The Citadel, Davidson, Furman, George Washington, Richmond, VMI, Virginia Tech, Washington & Lee, West Virginia and William & Mary. A third major shift occurred in 2012-13, when five members announced their departures and three schools were added. College of Charleston announced its decision to leave for the Colonial Athletic Association following the 2012-13 season, while Appalachian State (Sun Belt), Davidson (Atlantic 10), Elon (Colonial) and Georgia Southern (Sun Belt) announced they would depart following the 2013-14 campaign. At the Southern Conference’s 2013 spring meetings in Hilton Head Island, S.C., the league officially extended invitations to former members East Tennessee State and VMI, as well as Mercer, to join the league for the 2014-15 academic year. Today, the league continues to thrive with a membership that includes 10 institutions and a footprint that spans six states: Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. Current league members are The Citadel, East Tennessee State, Furman, Mercer, UNCG, Samford, Chattanooga, VMI, Western Carolina and Wofford.

CHAMPIONSHIP HISTORYThe first Southern Conference Championship held after the formation of the league was the basketball tournament in Atlanta in 1922. The North Carolina Tar Heels won the tournament to become the first recognized league champion in any sport. The Southern Conference tournament remains the oldest of its kind in college basketball. The most recent addition was men’s lacrosse, which crowned its first champion in 2015.

The Southern Conference declares champions in 11 men’s sports – football, soccer, cross country, basketball, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, wrestling, baseball, lacrosse, tennis and golf – and nine women’s sports – soccer, volleyball, cross country, basketball, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, tennis, golf and softball.

Wofford won the 2003, 2007, 2010 and 2012 SoCon Football Championships.

Wofford won the 2013 Men’s Soccer Regular Season Championship.
