PROFESSIONAL WILDCATS
GAY BREWER
the Senior PGA Tour since 1982 with his lone victory coming at the
1984 Citizens Union Seniors held in Kentucky. He was also a member of
the 1967 and 1971 United States Ryder Cup Teams. In his 43-year career
as a professional golfer, Brewer has earned nearly $3 million in prize
money and made his 37th Masters appearance in April 2001. Brewer was
elected to the University of Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame in 2006. In
the summer of 2007, the city of Lexington renamed Picadome Golf
Course the Gay Brewer Jr. Golf Course at Picadome.
Mr. Brewer recently lost a long battle with cancer, passing away at his
residence on August 31, 2007. He was 75. In June, more than 300 people
turned out to honor Mr. Brewer at Picadome Golf Course, where he
learned the game 60 years ago. The course was renamed the Gay Brewer
Jr. Course at Picadome in his honor. Bobby Nichols, Bob Goalby and
Lou Graham, all of whom won major championships on the PGA tour,
attended. Brewer called having the course named after him “a great thrill,
beyond anything I expected.” A portrait of Brewer in his green Masters
jacket was unveiled to hang in the course pro shop.
Arguably the best golfer to ever walk the halls of the University of
Kentucky was Gay Robert Brewer, Jr. The 1949 U.S. Junior
Champion attended UK from 1952-54 and went on to a distinguished
career on the PGA Tour, which was highlighted by a victory at the 1967
Masters. Brewer received the Ben Hogan Award after the 1972 season for
his “courage in the face of trying circumstances” after surviving a nearfatal
ulcer attack the night before the ‘72 Masters. A 10-time champion
on the PGA Tour, the Middletown, Ohio native has been a member of

Former Wildcat J.B. Holmes opened 2006 with a 10th-place finish at
the Sony Open in Hawaii, his first start as a TOUR member. He was
only two back of the leaders through 36 holes, but could not catch a hot
David Toms (61-65) on the weekend. In his fourth start of the season, fifth
as a professional, earned his first TOUR victory at the 2006 FBR Open.
Holmes Led J.J. Henry and Ryan Palmer by one stroke through 54 holes
prior to defeating five players by seven strokes, the largest victory margin in
a player's first TOUR win since Jose Maria Olazabal won the 1990 NEC
World Series of Golf by 12 strokes. Holmes posted all four rounds in the
60s, including the final round's only bogey-free round, a 5-under 66. His
second-round 64 is a career best. Holmes is the ninth player to collect his
initial TOUR win at the FBR Open and first since Jesper Parnevik in
1998. He was the youngest player (23 yrs., 9 mos., 9 days) to win the
Phoenix tournament since Jerry Pate won in 1977 at age 23 years, 3
months and 3 days. Holmes also became the first rookie to win on TOUR
in 2006 and topped Retief Goosen's record of becoming the quickest player
to reach $1 million in his TOUR career as a member, earning that
amount in just four events. Holmes went from not being ranked in
Official World Golf Ranking at beginning of season to World No. 77 after
the win. He added a pair of top-10 finishes in 2007, including a fourthplace
finish at the Mercedes-Benz Championship in January.

Steve Flesch turned pro in 1990 after an outstanding career at the
University of Kentucky, where he is one of three UK medalists in
Johnny Owens Invitational history. Flesch, who began golfing right-handed
before switching over to his natural left side, started his professional career
in 1990 on the Nationwide Tour. In 1997 he won the Nike Tour
Championship earning him exempt status on the PGA Tour in 1998. In
2001, Flesch ranked second behind Tiger Woods in Top-10 finishes with
13. Flesch recorded his best PGA Tour finish in 2003 winning the HP
Classic of New Orleans. In 1999, the left-hander finished in a tie for second
place at the COMPAQ Classic of New Orleans. In 2003, the UK
graduate won $2,269,630 in prize money, winning the $900,000 dollar
purse at the HP Classic of New Orleans. In 2004, Flesch won the Bank of
America Colonial title on his 37th birthday. Also in 2004, he has surpassed
the $1 million mark for the fifth consecutive year, moving into the top-50
on the TOUR's career money list with almost $10 million in earnings. He
recorded his first top-10 of the 2005 season when he tied for fourth at the
FBR Open in Phoenix in his fourth start of the year. He collected his second
top-10 and second career top-10 in a major championship with his
10th-place finish at the PGA Championship at Baltusrol Golf Club. Flesh
had his first top-10 of the 2006 season when he finished T10 at the
BellSouth Classic in his 10th start. Flesh recorded his most recent TOUR
win when he took home the title at the Reno-Tahoe Open in 2007. Flesch
resides in Union, Ky., with his wife, Lisa, his son, Griffin McCarthy, and
his daughter, Kaitlin Lily.
Anative of Paducah, Russ Cochran started playing golf with a set of
women’s clubs as a youngster because a men’s left-handed set was not
available to the southpaw. Cochran turned professional in 1979 after a successful
stint as a Wildcat. He earned his first tour victory with a win at the
1991 Centel Western Open after coming back from a five-stroke deficit to
defeat Greg Norman. At the 1991 Tour Championship, Cochran entered the
final round tied with Craig Stadler, and the two remained tied after each
carded a 71. Stadler won the playoff with a birdie on the second extra hole
at Pinehurst to claim the title. The second-place finish notched the largest
payday of his career with $216,000 in prize money. He did not make a start
on the tour in 2005, but made his return to the links in 2006. Cochran, an
avid UK basketball fan, still resides in Paducah with his wife, Jackie, and his
four children; Ryan, Reed, Case and Kelly Marie.

STRENGTH & CONDITIONING
The Kentucky golf team calls the Joe Craft Center
its home for strength and conditioning. The
complex is under the direction of strength and conditioning
coach Todd Forcier and features a variety of
free weights, machines, cardio pieces, and other training,
which complements the training philosophy of
Todd Forcier.
The primary focus of the facility is the development
of the total athlete using a variety of training tools.
With the help of staff nutritionist Jill Kindy, the
Memorial Coliseum staff also helps educate the athletes
on nutrition and supplement awareness.
Every team trains in a variety of situations at the Joe
Craft Center, promoting team chemistry and teamwork.
Through this vision, teams work on mental toughness,
attacking goals and maintaining a positive attitude,
keeping everyone moving toward a common goal.
"We are very fortunate to have Todd Forcier as our strength and conditioning coach.
Not only is Todd extremely experienced in his field, but he is also a golfer who understands
the specific demands of our sport. When you combine Coach Forcier's expertise
along with the privilege of training in the new Joe Craft Center weightroom, it is easy
to see why our student-athletes improve their strength, flexibility and cardiovascular
fitness during their Wildcat careers."

THE UNIVERSITY CLUB
The University of Kentucky golf program enters its seventh season of
training at the University Club. The University Club is a membersonly
club privately licensed by UK. The course is the official home of the
men’s and women’s golf teams and will be the host site for all of UK’s
future tournaments.
Internationally renowned golf course architect Arthur Hills designed
the renovations to the 36-hole Championship course. The University
club features the Big Blue Course (72-par 7,013 yards) and the Wildcat
Course (71-par, 6,680 yards). The courses are complemented by a dozen
lakes and ponds, providing players with a beautiful and challenging
round of golf.
“This club is a great asset for the University of Kentucky,” Director of
Golf Operations Bettie Lou Evans said. “Having a facility like this that
we can call our own should make a tremendous difference. The
University Club will boost recruiting and allow us more practice time.
Plus, we plan on expanding with an indoor facility in the future. All
these things give our golfers great opportunities to succeed.”
University Clubs are currently in place at other Southeastern
Conference schools such as South Carolina, Auburn and Alabama.
However, this club boasts many features that make it one of the premier
University Clubs in the nation. Accompanying the beauty of the course
are two state-of-the-art practice facilities for UK’s golf teams along with a
grille, locker rooms and a fully stocked pro shop.
The clubhouse is filled with UK memorabilia
and contains private meeting rooms that serve to
host a variety of University related conferences,
events and meetings.
The Club is located at 4850 Leestown Rd.,
7.4 miles northwest of downtown Lexington
in Fayette County, convenient to I-64
and I-75.

KENTUCKY PRACTICE FACILITIES
The University Club of Kentucky gives the UK golf program its own
course where it will host tournaments, and the prime bluegrass also
boasts a private practice facility specifically designed for the Kentucky
men’s and women’s golf teams.
It is the first practice facility to be used exclusively by the Cats and
is another illustration of UK’s commitment to championship golf. The
facility includes:
• A full driving range with a 12,000 sq. foot practice tee, complete
with bent and Bermuda grass and a fairway bunker, which
is used exclusively by the Men’s and Women’s teams.
• Two 3,700 sq ft greens used to hone chipping, pitching and
bunker play.
• A 5,600 sq. foot putting green.
“We are extremely excited to have such a terrific practice facility to
call our own,” Director of Golf Operations Bettie Lou Evans said. “We
can take these resources and use them as we see fit to improve all facets
of our game. Something like this will undoubtedly lead to lower scores
while increasing our competitiveness.”
The state-of-the-art practice facilities add to the many valuable features
of the University Club. The Club also will be a future venue for
many collegiate tournaments.

Hole 1

Hole 2
Par 4 422 Yards
Hole 3
Par 3 206 Yards
A good drive to this generous fairway
will set up a short iron approach
to a large, rather flat green. This hole
offers a good scoring opportunity!
An accurate drive is required to
hit this narrow fairway. Second shots
play slightly downhill.
This medium length par three
plays downhill, but you must hit
enough club to carry the deep front
bunker. Par is a good score here.

A well-struck tee short down the
left side of the fairway will set up a
middle iron approach. Take your time
reading the subtle breaks on this
green.
This hole is a big hitter's dream.
Aim down the left side and let it loose!
With a well-struck tee shot you can go at
the green in two. However, if a lay up is
necessary, avoid the cross bunker guarding
the front of the green at all costs.
Going with a fairway wood or
long iron is usually the prudent play
off the tee. A good drive sets up a
middle to short iron approach to a
very undulating green. Do not be
short!

After safely playing a tee shot to
the right of the water hazard, the lay
up second shot must avoid the fairway
bunkers down the right side, leaving a
wedge for your approach shot and a
chance for birdie.
This tee shot is the scariest one on
the course! This short par 3 plays considerably
downhill, but gives you no
margin for error. Aim for the middle
of the green and hope that the wind is
not blowing when you get here.
Long hitters can cut the corner and
get very close to this deep green. However,
a tee shot played into one of the bunkers
on the left is nearly impossible to put on
the green. Instead, go with an iron to the
fairway, leaving a wedge approach shot.

This par four offers one of the few

Another scoring chance! Avoid the

birdie.
A fairway wood from the tee to an
ample landing area will set up a short
approach to this sloping green.
Two good shots are required here.
Keep the ball down the left side off the
tee to shorten the second shot. An
approach shot towards the front left
side of the green is the smart play. Par
is a great score.
Hole 16
Par 5 565 Yards
Hole 17
Par 3 230 Yards
Hole 18
Par 4 443 Yards
This is a three-shot par five. The
tee shot must avoid the fairway
bunkers on the right. Lay up your second
shot to a good wedge yardage.
Shots short or long of this small, undulating
green will yield bogey or worse.
This is the longest of the par three
holes. A well-struck long iron or fairway
wood is required to reach the
large, flat green.
What a finish! A strong accurate
tee shot will leave a middle iron to this
small, tricky green. The green is
extremely fast from back to front.
Keep the ball beneath the hole for a
good putting opportunity.

THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY
From Paducah to Pikeville, Covington to
Cumberland, the University of Kentucky
touches lives across the Bluegrass State,
providing education, cultural stimulation and
economic development in all 120 counties.
Considering that residents of all Kentucky
counties benefit from the University’s medical
care, community service, innovative research
and creative teaching and instruction, there’s
no question UK is The University of Kentucky.
HISTORY
Nestled in heart of Kentucky’s scenic Bluegrass
region, UK was founded in 1865 as a landgrant
university. From its beginnings with only
190 students and 10 professors, UK’s campus
now covers more than 716 acres in Lexington
and is home to more than 27,000 students and
more than 13,500 employees. The university
also operates remote research laboratories in
areas such as Princeton, Ky., and Quicksand, Ky.
MISSION
The University of Kentucky has long embraced
its mission to provide excellent education
to outstanding resident and non-resident
students, recognizing that a knowledgeable
populace is the best foundation for a prosperous
Commonwealth. This mission has been
further enhanced since 1997, when the Kentucky
General Assembly mandated that UK become
a Top 20 public research university by
2020.. President Lee T. Todd Jr. focused the
University on achieving this goal through the
development of a Top 20 Business Plan in
2005 that gained national prominence for its
vision and detail.
"As the state’s flagship institution, UK is
mindful of its responsibility to help all Kentuckians,"
Todd says. "Our land-grant mission
calls on us to make a positive impact across the
state. We need to be an education leader, while
remaining accessible to all Kentuckians. We
need to be a cultural leader, sharing new ideas
and opportunities across the state. And we
need to be leading Kentucky’s charge into the
new economy. We are the catalyst for a new
Commonwealth."
STUDENTS
Students from 117 countries, every state in
the nation and every Kentucky county provide
a diverse learning and cultural environment
that enriches the educational experience at UK.
While the student population has enjoyed
steady growth in the past several years, the average
ACT score of entering freshmen has continually
exceeded the national average and is
competitive with UK’s benchmark institutions
– the top public universities in America. The
high quality of UK’s students is confirmed by
their successful competition for the most prestigious
awards, including the Fulbright, Truman,
Goldwater and Marshall scholarships.
UK has twice been selected as one of only 13
universities nationwide to participate in the
Beckman Foundation Scholarship Program, allowing
the University to award grants of
$19,300 to students to support their own research
projects. Boasting 12 Truman Scholars,
UK has won recognition from the Harry S.
Truman Foundation as an honor institution for
exemplary participation in the program.
OUTREACH
Thousands of Kentuckians from across the
state feel the impact of UK’s research and public
service annually, through programs aimed at
improving industrial productivity, agricultural
profitability and home life. Programs like the
Health Education through Extension Leadership
bring the results of health research to local
communities, helping boost the quality of life
across the state.
Meanwhile, Kentuckians have responded to
the University’s commitment to the Commonwealth
through their remarkable support of
The Campaign for the University of Kentucky.
The fund-raising effort – the largest in state
history – to enhance facilities, academic programs,
public service and scholarships recently
surpassed its $1 billion goal. The generosity of
UK’s alumni and friends allowed it to fully ultilize
its allocation of state support available
through Kentucky’s Research Challenge Trust
Fund program.
PROGRAMS
UK students enjoy an enormous array of
choices, with some 200 majors and degree programs
in 17 academic and professional colleges
available. UK is one of only a few public universities
nationally to house colleges of Agriculture,
Arts and Sciences, Business and
Economics, Communications and Information
Studies, Dentistry, Design, Education, Engineering,
Fine Arts, Health Sciences, Law, Medicine,
Nursing, Pharmacy, Public Health, and
Social Work on a single campus.
RESEARCH
"Determination" is truly the word describing
UK’s focus on achieving its Top 20 research
goal. For the last five years, the University has
consistently exceeded $200 million in sponsored
projects awards. UK faculty recently attracted
a record-breaking total of $290 million
in extramural funding for grants and contracts.
A recent ranking placed UK at 26th among all
public universities for federal expenditures.
Meanwhile, the inventiveness of UK faculty
continue to earn the University its standing as

MEDICAL CENTERS
The UK Chandler Medical Center, opened
in 1960, stands among the nation’s finest academic
medical centers. Its faculty, students
and staff take pride in achieving excellence in
education, patient care, research, and community
service. One of two Level 1 Trauma Centers
in Kentucky, UK cares for the most
critically injured and ill patients in the region.
More than 500 faculty physicians and dentists,
400 resident physicians and a staff of
3,200 health professionals provide care in the
473-bed UK Chandler Hospital and Kentucky
Children’s Hospital.
In spring 2007, ground was broken for a
new $525 million UK Chandler Hospital.
This more than 1-million square foot facility,
to be completed in 2011, is the cornerstone
of a 20-year, $2.5 billion plan to construct
the Commonwealth Medical Campus of the
Future. Among the campus’ components are
a now-under-construction $120 million
pharmacy building, additional research
buildings, a new shared Health Sciences
Learning Center, and additional buildings to
house programs for the colleges of Medicine,
Nursing, Health Sciences, Dentistry, and
Public Health.
LIBRARIES
No university can provide adequate opportunities
to its students – or to the residents of
the state it serves – without outstanding library
facilities. The University of Kentucky
exceeds expectations because it operates a nationally
recognized research library system,
with the capstone being the world-class
William T. Young Library. UK’s book endowment
is the largest among public universities.
Its library network and technology provide extraordinary
service to students in the colleges
of Medicine, Law, Engineering, Fine Arts and
other programs. Meanwhile, students, faculty
and Kentucky residents can use UK Libraries’
advanced technology to access the most up-todate
information from online journals, government
publications and private studies.
AGENDA
UK’s agenda aims to accelerate the University’s
movement toward academic excellence
in all areas and gaining worldwide recognition
for its outstanding academic programs,
its commitment to undergraduates, its success
in building a diverse community, and its engagement
with the larger society. It’s all part
of the University’s strategy to help position
Kentucky as a leader in American prosperity.

CATS
CENTER FOR ACADEMIC & TUTORIAL SERVICES
The University of Kentucky has made a commitment
to put the student-athlete at the
heart of the program.
The cornerstone of that commitment lies in
the academic success of the University’s studentathletes.
And at UK, that success stems from the
resources within the Ohio Casualty Group’s
Center for Academic and Tutorial Services
(CATS).
UK opened CATS in 1981, the nation’s first
academic center dedicated exclusively to studentathletes.
Over the years, as the services offered by
CATS have grown, so did the need for additional
space.
As a result, UK built a new facility - the Ohio
Casualty Center for Academic and Tutorial
Services, thanks to a one-million dollar grant
from the Ohio Casualty Insurance Group. The
Ohio Casualty Center opened in 1998 at a total
cost of $2.4 million.
Much of the credit for UK’s academic success
goes to the Athletics Association’s academic support
system - the Center for Academic and
Tutorial Services, or simply, “CATS.”
CATS, constructed in Memorial Coliseum,
includes:
• 20,000 square feet of space - more than double
the size of the former CATS facility;
• a computer room housing 35 computers;
• a study area which accommodates 90-100
people;
• 24 tutoring rooms;
• a career development and life skills resource
center;
• a community outreach office; and
• offices for the staff.
Certainly, a facility is a good start, but any
program - especially in academics - is only as
good as the people who run it. And UK is fortunate
to have outstanding leaders in its academics
support system.
Bob Bradley, Associate Athletics Director for
Student Services, oversees the CATS program.
Bradley was named National Academic Advisor
of the Year in 1989 and 1992. In 2000 he was
selected as the CHAMPS Life Skills Coordinator
of the Year by the NCAA Division I-A Athletic
Directors Association.
CATS has a full-time staff of 11. In addition
to Bradley, they are:
• Barb Deniston,
Director of Academic Services;
• Mike Haley,
Director of Advising Services;
• Michael Stone,
Senior Academic Counselor
• Amy Craiglow, Dan Childs,
Jon Ross and Katrina Sally,
Academic Counselors;
• Martina Martin, Lifeskills Coordinator;
• D’Ann Blankenship and Dustin Lewis, Staff
Assistants.
CATS also employs seven graduate assistants
and numerous tutors, both from the University
and the surrounding community. UK has budgeted
more than $1,000,000 for the operation of
CATS in the coming year.
“We are extremely proud of what we have
accomplished in the academic arena,” Bradley
says. “The CATS program is focused on winning
in the classroom. We look at each student-athlete’s
individual needs, set goals, and develop
strategies to attain those goals. Our center provides
our student-athletes with a definite advantage
over student-athletes at many other institutions.
Our goal is to show that we care about the
student as well as the athlete.”
For the CATS staff, showing you care means
more than helping athletes maintain eligibility,
graduate, or win awards. The academics staff
also prepares student-athletes for life after college
with the Wildcat Career Development Program.
The Career Development Program helps student-athletes
look to the future through a stepby-step
process which includes:
• Mentoring and internships, which help
determine career interests;
• career counseling;
• resume writing; and
• forming a career plan.
The Wildcat Career Development Program
works closely with the University’s Career
Planning and Placement Center in order to provide
additional assistance when needed.

THE WILLIAM T. YOUNG LIBRARY
In addition to providing the finest in athletic facilities, the University
of Kentucky also provides student-athletes with the best in academic
facilities. One of the most recent additions to the educational landscape at
UK is the $58 million William T. Young Library.
• Size: The library covers 365,350 square feet - more than six football
fields. The building is five stories high, plus a basement.
• Shelf capacity: If laid end-to-end, the bookshelf space would
stretch 198,828 linear feet - that’s more than 37 miles of shelf space. The
shelves house 1.2 million books.
• Seating capacity: The library can seat more than 4,000 patrons at
one time, a 355 percent increase over the old library. The seating on the
fifth floor of the new library equals the capacity of the former library.
• Flexibility: The library has a state-of-the-art electronic infrastructure
that will enable UK to take full advantage of current and emerging technology.
In addition, the five floors and basement of the structure are
designed as open, flexible spaces, enabling the library to adapt its services
and facilities to the future changes in needs of UK students.
• Endowment: The UK Library has the nation’s largest book endowment
among public universities and ranks second only to Harvard.
The massive William T. Young Library is the centerpiece of the UK campus.
Memorial Coliseum and downtown Lexington are in the background.
• Computer connections: Every study table and study carrel in the
library has an electrical outlet and a computer jack connected to the university’s
computer system. Virtually the entire library has wireless coverage.

DR. LEE T. TODD, JR., PRESIDENT
Lee T. Todd, Jr.
became the 11th
president of the
University of Kentucky
on July 1, 2001, after
serving as senior vice
president of IBM’s
Lotus Development
Corp. President Todd is
the sixth UK alumnus
to hold the presidency.
President Todd has concentrated his efforts
and energies on helping his alma mater achieve a
greater level of national prominence. He
launched the University of Kentucky’s Top 20
Business Plan in December 2005. The plan is a
quantitative analysis highlighting what it will
take for UK to achieve its state-mandated goal of
building a Top 20 public research university.
Widely hailed as the first business plan by a public
university in the nation, UK’s plan has garnered
widespread national attention. It has been
featured by national media outlets and recognized
by peer institutions, as several higher education
leaders have visited UK’s campus to learn
more about the Business Plan approach. The
Top 20 Business Plan has also gained support
throughout the Commonwealth, as the Kentucky
General Assembly fully funded the plan
beginning in 2007-08.
Mitch Barnhart is
in his sixth year
as Director of Athletics
for the University of
Kentucky, having set a
clear course for making
Kentucky one of the
top athletics programs
in the country.
Hired July 15,
2002, Barnhart has made the desire for overall
excellence the cornerstone of Wildcat Athletics.
His decision to fully fund all 22 varsity sports
has produced a wave of firsts in a number of
programs, while also allowing UK to achieve its
highest NACDA Directors' Cup finish (33rd in
2005-06) in eight years.
Numerous sports have reached never-before
seen levels of success. Baseball won the school’s
first ever Southeastern Conference title in 2006,
following in the SEC championship footsteps of
women’s tennis, men’s golf and men’s basketball
from 2005. Four Wildcat coaches earned SEC
Coach of the Year honors in 2005-06, including
women’s basketball’s Mickie DeMoss, volleyball’s
President Todd has spearheaded an effort to revitalize
health care in Kentucky. In June 2006, UK
unveiled the Commonwealth’s Medical Campus of
the Future, a multi-phased project aimed at providing
Kentuckians with cutting-edge, 21st century
health care. As part of a revamped academic medical
campus, UK will construct a new, one million
square foot University of Kentucky Albert B. Chandler
Hospital, a new College of Pharmacy, and a
new University Health Service facility. All three of
those projects are currently in progress.
President Todd is currently a member of the
Board of Directors and Executive Committee for
the American Council on Education (ACE) and
the National Association of State Universities
and Land-Grant Colleges (NASULGC). He also
serves on NASULGC’s Council of Presidents.
He serves on the Equitable Resources Board of
Directors and is chair of the National Science
Foundation (NSF) Education and Human
Resources Advisory Committee. He is chair of
the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education’s
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering,
and Mathematics) Task Force and is also a member
of the Business Higher Education Forum
and the Council on Competitiveness.
He is married to the former Patricia Brantley, a
UK graduate who earned her master’s degree from
Simmons College in Boston. They have two adult
children, UK graduates Troy and Kathryn.
Craig Skinner, diving’s Mike Lyden and baseball’s
John Cohen.
The women’s soccer and rifle teams added
league titles in 2006-07, with conference Coach of
the Year honors going to Warren Lipka and Harry
Mullins, respectively.
Barnhart instructed his staff to seek out new
revenue streams, and that resulted in a record
$80 million multimedia rights agreement with
Host Communications. The additional resources
allow UK to continue its commitment to its student-athletes,
a commitment Barnhart takes personally.
Athletics spends $1.5 million annually
on its nationally-renowned CATS Academic
Center and each spring hosts the CATSPYs, an
awards program designed to recognize the very
best in UK Athletics.
Other initiatives begun under Barnhart's leadership
include the Big Blue Caravan, which connects
UK to its vast fan base each spring, the UK
Athletics Hall of Fame, which honors past greats
across all sports, a revamping of UK's donor program
that has resulted in record K Fund dollars,
and a 10-year, $10-million commitment to help
fund the University's general scholarship program.

KENTUCKY
KENTUCKY FACTS
Kentucky is one of only four states in
the nation designated as a commonwealth
... The state capital is Frankfort ...
Kentucky has 39,728 square miles of land
... Population of the state is 4,092,891
according to a 2002 estimate by the state
government ... The three largest cities in
the state are Louisville, Lexington, and
Owensboro ... The state bird is the cardinal
... The state flower is the goldenrod ...
The state tree is the Kentucky Coffee Tree
... The state song is “My Old Kentucky
Home” ... Kentucky has more miles of
running water than any other state except
Alaska ... Kentucky has 44 state parks
which annually draw 15.8 million visitors
... Kentucky has the world’s longest
known cave system — Mammoth Cave
— with over 300 miles of mapped passageways.
Though the above words were written by one of Kentucky’s favorite sons, any one of the millions
of visitors to the Bluegrass State each year might nod in agreement.
Kentucky embodies the very essence of America, from majestic mountains and forests to vast
sparkling lakes, from rolling acres of farm and pastureland to the hustle and bustle of metropolitan centers.
And around every turn in the road, Kentucky’s colorful past, which helped shape our country’s
character, is preserved and maintained for all to enjoy. The result is a state so diverse in travel and recreational
opportunities that one is hard-pressed to name its equal.
If asked to describe Kentucky, one word that quickly comes to mind is horses. The Bluegrass region
of Lexington and central Kentucky is internationally recognized as the Horse Capital of the World.
Lexington is at the heart of the Bluegrass and it preserves the romantic tradition of the horse farms and
is the hub of the multi-billion-dollar horse industry.
Kentucky also is a land steeped in the rich history of our nation. Legendary pioneer Daniel Boone
laid out Kentucky’s second settlement at Fort Boonesborough and nearby, a hundred years later, the
Shaker religious sect prospered at picturesque Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill.
Abraham Lincoln was born in Hodgenville (the one-room cabin is part of a National Historic
Site). The plantation home that inspired Stephen Foster to write “My Old Kentucky Home” still
stands at a state park of the same name. And the region that 200 years ago gave birth to one of
Kentucky’s most famous exports bourbon whiskey is dotted with world-famous distilleries.
“If the United States can be called a body... then
Kentucky can be called its heart.”

place. With the recent renovations to the golf
course, clubhouse, and lodge, Wolf Run is
headed in an exciting and positive direction.
"Wolf Run is not for every golfer, it's only for
those who respect the game's traditions and who
appreciate what refined shot-making entails,"
Bradley Klein, Golfweek Magazine.
