Bold - Event hosted by The University of Akron

One of the unique nicknames in all of inter-collegiate athletics belongs to The University of Akron. Originally Zippers, athletic director Kenneth “Red” Cochrane officially shortened the nickname to the Zips in 1950. 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 evolution of Zippy, UA’s mascot, began 40 years ago when the student council decid-ed the University needed a mascot. “Zippy” the kangaroo was officially declared the school’s mascot on May 1, 1953. The first known printed reference to the mascot as “Zippy” was a 1965 Zip football press brochure. The Buchtelite’s first use of the name “Zippy” came Sept. 24, 1965, in an identification of a photo of the cheerleaders listing “Mascot - ‘Zippy’ - Charles Huettner.” In 2007, Zippy was named the Capital One National Mascot of the Year.

What is a Zip?

The Zips out-dueled seven teams in the Golfstat Top-100 and nine of the 11 Big Ten pro-grams en route to the 2011 Illini Spring Classic team title. The victory was the first since Akron won the Xavier Invitational on October 6, 2009, and was one of the biggest wins in program history, vaulting the Zips into the GolfStat Top-100 rankings for the first time

since the conclusion of the 2006-07 season.

fireStone country clubThe 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 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.

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 played host to the 2002 Senior PGA Championship.

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 clubhole 9Par 4 – 431 Yards

One of the tougher holes that requires a very accurate drive between two lakes and a very accurate second shot into a narrow green guarded by three green-side bun-kers.

hole 12Par 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 and a steep hillside on the left.


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.


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.

indoor PrActice fAcilityThe 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 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 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.

the fireStone invitAtionAlThe University of Akron’s home golf course, Firestone Country Club, plays host to the Zips’ own college tournament, The Firestone Invitational, during the fall season on the North Course.

The teams in the invitational face a stern challenge when they descend on the fabled Firestone Country Club. There’s no doubt it will provide excitement. Firestone has a rich history of testing the world’s best players, which it did for 22 years as the site of the World Series of Golf and now the present home of the World Golf Championships - Bridgestone Invitational. Quietly situated on the outskirts of Akron, Ohio, Firestone Country Club has the finest 54-holes of golf of any private club in the country.

Established in 1929 by Harvey Firestone and later acquired by ClubCorp in 1981, Firestone Country Club remains a one of a kind golf facility. It is the only course in the world to have held three televised golf events in one calendar year, The American Golf Classic, The CBS Golf Classic, and The World Series of Golf. With its three championship level courses, Firestone Country Club is as unique today as it has ever been.

Schools which participated in the 2010 Firestone Invitational included Eastern Michigan, Illinois State, Indiana, Iowa State, Kansas State, Maryland, New Mexico State, Notre Dame, St. Mary’s College, Toledo, Western Carolina, Wichita State and Xavier.

In the event, the Zips carded an eighth-place score of 879 ( 291-290-298) at the par-72, 7,060-yard world renowned Firestone Country Club North Course. The Zips opened the event with rounds of 291 and 290 on day one, good for seventh place. Akron entered the final round just three stokes out of fourth place and six out of the third spot. However, UA would card a final-round 298 to drop one spot.

Individually, junior Scott Landreth led Akron after carding rounds of 70, 74 and 72 (216) to finish in a tie for 10th place as the only Zip at or under par. Following Landreth was true freshman Charlie Bull, who finished in the top-25 (t22nd) after posting a three-round tally of 220 (74-71-75). Senior Lucas Murray finished in 32nd place with a 222 (73-72-77) in the 75-player field. Sophomore Cameron Simmons and freshman Drew Czuchry rounded out the Zips score-card finishing within one stroke of each other at 226 (74-78-74) and 227 (77-73-77), good for a tie for 44th and a tie for 48th respectively.

Notre Dame and Indiana battled it out for first place with Indiana prevailing with a three-round score of 849, one stroke ahead of the Fighting Irish. IU’s David Erdy and Maryland’s John Popeck were the individual medalists, posting a score 207 in the 56-hole event.

the mid-AmericAn conferencethiS iS the mid-AmericAn conference

Providing leadership in education and diversity, the Mid-American Con-ference moves into its 65th year of service to the student-athlete.

Since its inception in 1946, the Mid-American Conference has progres-sively grown and developed into one of the most aggressive Division I conferences in the country. One of only 11 football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) conferences, the MAC named Dr. Jon A. Steinbrecher as its eighth commissioner in the 65-year history of the league in March of 2009. Steinbrecher came to the MAC after serving six years as the commis-sioner of the Ohio Valley Conference.

The league has grown its commitment to championships by expand-ing to six its number of neutral site post season events – football (De-troit’s Ford Field), volleyball (SPIRE Academy, Geneva, Ohio), men’s and women’s basketball (Cleveland’s Quicken Loans Arena), softball (Akron’s Firestone Stadium) and baseball (Avon, Ohio All Pro Freight Stadium).

In 2010, four MAC programs received bowl invitations and it marked the first time in conference history that the MAC had four or more teams re-ceive bowl invitations in a three-year consecutive span. In addition, the MAC has sent four or more teams to bowl games in five of the last seven years. The four MAC programs that played in bowl games were: Mi-ami (GoDaddy.com Bowl), Northern Illinois (uDrove Humanitarian Bowl), Toledo (Little Caesars Pizza Bowl) and Ohio (R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl). The MAC record for bowl appearances is five, which happened in consecutive years (2008, 2009) and only three times (2004, 2008, 2009) in conference history. The 2010 season also witnessed Miami win the 2010 Marathon MAC Championship and record the best turnaround in college football with an eight win improvement over the previous season (1-11 in 2009). Northern Illinois entered the Marathon MAC Football Championship ranked No. 23 in the USA Today Coaches Poll and No. 24 in the Associated Press Poll. Two more MAC teams defeated Big Ten opponents during the regular season as Northern Illinois defeated Minnesota, 34-23 in Minneapolis, while Toledo rolled to a 31-20 win at Purdue in West Lafayette, Ind.

For the first time in its 65-year history, the MAC will have eight bowl relationships--three primary and five secondary. The three primary agree-ments are with the Little Caesar’s Pizza Bowl (Detroit, Mich.), GoDaddy.com Bowl (Mobile, Ala.) and uDrove Humanitarian Bowl (Boise, Ida.). In addition, the MAC has secured secondary agreements with the BBVA Compass Bowl (2011-2013), the New Mexico Bowl (2011-2013), the Beef O’Brady’s St. Petersburg Bowl (2011-13), the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl (2011) and the TicketCity Bowl (2012).

In its partnership with ESPN, the MAC is in the third year of its eight-year rights agreement (through 2016-2017 academic years) for football, as well as men’s and women’s basketball. The deal is the most exten-sive in the 65-year history of the conference. The agreement calls for a minimum of 25 events annually to be produced and aired on an ESPN platform including the men’s and women’s basketball championships, a regular-season MAC presence on ESPN, the Marathon MAC Football Championship and a minimum of 11 regular-season football games.

From two-time Super Bowl quarterback winning Ben Roethlisberger (Mi-ami University), NFL Defensive MVP James Harrison (Kent State Univer-sity), three NFL Pro Bowlers (Cleveland KR Josh Cribbs, San Diego TE Antonio Gates, Pittsburgh LB James Harrison), British Open winner Ben Curtis (Kent State University), World Series winning manager Bob Brenly (Ohio University) and Olympic bobsled team member Brock Kreitzburgh (University of Toledo), the Mid-American Conference continues to ex-cel in producing leaders in the world of athletics. In Super Bowl XLV between Green Bay and Pittsburgh there were 15 former MAC student-athletes on rosters competing in the Super Bowl, including nine with the Packers and six with the Steelers, and six former MAC players were named to the 2011 NFL Pro Bowl.

hiStory of the mAcBased in Cleveland since July 1999 following a 15-year stay in Toledo, Ohio, the MAC has established historic measurements in both football and men’s and women’s basketball since moving to Northeast Ohio. The MAC was founded as a five-school league on February 24, 1946 in Co-lumbus, Ohio with Ohio, Butler, Cincinnati, Wayne State and Western Reserve admitted as charter members. The Mid-American Conference has 12 full-time schools and a 13th, Temple, and 14th, UMass for football only (beginning in 2012). Comprising the East Division is the University of Akron (joined in 1992), Bowling Green State University (1952), Uni-versity at Buffalo (1998), Kent State University (1951), Miami University (1947), Ohio University (1946) and Temple University (2007). The West Division members are Ball State University (1973), Central Michigan Uni-versity (1971), Eastern Michigan University (1971), Northern Illinois Uni-versity (1975-86, 1997), University of Toledo (1950) and Western Michi-gan University (1947).

In 1946 men’s basketball was the first competitive sport in the MAC, which now sponsors a total 23 sports. Women’s sports were brought into the conference’s structure in 1980. For men, championships (11) are sponsored in football, basketball, baseball, cross country, soccer, swim-ming and diving, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, wres-tling, golf and tennis. For women, championships (12) are sponsored in basketball, softball, volleyball, cross country, field hockey, golf, soccer, swimming and diving, gymnastics, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field and tennis.

University of Akron Director of Athletics Tom Wistrcill named University of Kentucky associate head coach David Trainor as head coach of the Zips men’s golf program on June 13, 2011.

Trainor, who spent the last seven seasons on the UK staff, including two as the associate head coach and five as an assistant coach, will officially take over the program on July 5. Trainor is the 19th head coach in the program’s 78-year history.

“It is an honor and privilege to be the head men’s golf coach at The Uni-versity of Akron,” Trainor said. “I want to thank Tom Wistrcill and (Associ-ate Athletics Director) George Van Horne for giving me this opportunity. I am looking forward to building upon the success that coach Nick Goe-tze achieved with the Zips program, and I want to see our team continue to move forward and compete for a MAC Championship. My family and I are excited about moving to Akron and joining the University family.”

In his seven seasons at Kentucky, Trainor helped the Wildcats to two top-10 finishes at the NCAA Championship (seventh – 2005; fifth – 2006), the 2005 Southeastern Conference Championship and nine overall tour-nament titles. Additionally, he helped student-athletes earn three All-American honors and three Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholars, as well as five All-SEC and 20 Academic All-SEC honors.

“We are very pleased to have David and his family join The University of Akron, the Department of Athletics and the Akron community,” Wis-trcill said. “David is one of the top assistant coaches in Division I golf and his knowledge and expertise will help take our men’s golf program to the next level. His experience at the University of Kentucky and his teaching background will be valuable tools as we look to compete for a Mid-American Conference title and a berth in the NCAA Tournament in the near future.”

Trainor, a native of Berwyn, Pa., was a four-year varsity letterwinner at the College of Charleston, where he graduated in 2000 with a degree in business administration. While at Charleston, Trainor received the Coaches Award in 1997 for his leadership and dedication to the men’s golf team. He was also a three-time Club Champion at Aronimink Golf Club, which is ranked in the Top-100 courses by Golf Digest.

Lucas Murray is in his first season as the Zips’ volunteer coach after a successful run as a student-athlete for Akron from 2009-11.

In two seasons in the Blue and Gold, Murray broke the school record for career scoring average (73.70) over 71 rounds played. He was a two-time Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholar the Golf Coaches As-sociation of American (GCAA) (2010 and 2011) as well as a second-team All-MAC and an Academic All-MAC performer as a senior (2010-11). For his career, he finished with one victory, seven top-10 and 16 top-25 finishes in 25 events.

As a senior, he competed in all 12 tournaments, posting a team-best av-erage of 74.11, finishing the season ranked in the top-100 nationally in fewest three-putt holes/round (80th, 0.74) and fewest putts/round (97th, 30.10). He helped the Zips defeat seven Golfstat Top-100 teams at the Illini Spring Classic (April 16-17, 2011) with a tie for 18th place.

During his junior campaign, Murray nearly broke the season scoring av-erage with his 73.11 average. He won the Xavier Invitational (Oct. 5-6, 2009) with a 10-under 206, the lowest tournament of his career.

Before joining the Zips in 2009, Murray spent two seasons at Mount Union. He was named a Division III PING All-American and All-OAC and finished 38th at the NCAA Championships as a sophomore while earning Division III PING All-American honors as a freshman as well. He went on to finish tied for seventh at the NCAA DIII National Champion-ship as a freshman.

Murray, a local product, graduated from Canton South High School in Canton, Ohio.

He is a 2011 graduate of Akron with a degree in corporate financial management.

The longest-tenured member of the staff, Mark Gore served as an as-sistant from 1996 to 2007. A 1993 graduate of The University of Ak-ron, Gore’s primary responsibilities include the coordination of special events for the athletic departments such as invitationals and home tour-naments. Gore became the general manager of Firestone Country Club in 2004, the Zips’ home course. He played collegiately for The University of Ak-ron, lettering four years (1989-92), and was a two-year state qualifier for Revere (Ohio) High School during his prep career.
