SPECTACULAR HOME COURSE 

The Bearcats play at one of the premier public courses in 

the Northeast, The Links at Hiawatha Landing. Golfweek 

ranked The Links No. 4 in New York State for public and 

resort courses in 2009. Situated along the banks of the 

Susquehanna River approximately 12 miles from campus, 

The 7,200-yard Links is reminiscent of the legendary circuits 

of Great Britain — the authentic links-style layout evident 

in the rolling hills, windswept sand bunkers and ornamental 

grasses. Hiawatha also features a 22-acre teaching center, 

including a 3-hole training course. The course opened in 

1994 and hosted the 1996 New York State Men’s Amateur 

Championship among other regional events. 

The Bearcats have hosted numerous tournaments at the 

Links, including the 2002 ECAC Championship and the 2007 

America East Championship.

“The Links is a perfect home course for our team because 

of the challenge of the course and the outstanding practice 

facilities, that give our players the opportunity to focus and 

train on all aspects of their game. It is a great course and 

great test. Players will be rewarded when they hit good 

shots. This course definitely will separate the very good 

players from the average ones.” 

- Head Coach Bernie Herceg

TOP-NOTCH INSTRUCTION 

With the hiring of noted PGA teaching 

professional Bernie Herceg, BU golfers have 

access to elite instruction throughout the year. 

Herceg has been the PGA Director of Golf at 

BU's home course - The Links at Hiawatha 

Landing - for 12 years. His junior golf 

initiatives and private instruction have earned 

him a reputation as one of the finest and most 

innovative teachers in the region. He received 

a Junior Leader Award from the Central 

New York PGA Section in 2004 and also has 

been nominated for CNYPGA Teacher of the 

Year honors. A former collegiate golfer and 

accomplished player in his own right, Herceg 

is utilizing his PGA training and management 

acumen to forge uncharted success for the 

Bearcats' golf program. 

WINNING TRADITION 

Since 1991, Binghamton has advanced to 

the NCAA Championship 11 times in 19 

years, most recently in 2006. The Bearcats 

established themselves as one of the premier 

Division III teams in the country in the 1990s, 

earning four top-10 national finishes. After 

completing a successful transition to the 

NCAA Division I ranks, BU has advanced to 

the NCAA East Regional three times in the 

last seven years. The 2002-03 team won 

more tournaments (7) than any other Division 

“I like to focus on maintaining the players’ 

individual goals and our team goals, in 

addition to maintaining sound fundamentals 

and instruction. When It comes to the team 

environment, even though golf is very 

individual when it comes to scoring, it's still 

a team sport. One person is not going to 

win tournaments; it will be all the players' 

combined scores.” 

– Head coach Bernie Herceg 

“I am excited to be able to coach at a 

great University and lead a strong Division 

I program. I look forward to helping our 

golfers mature and reach their goals, both 

academically and athletically. I want to recruit 

golfers who are dedicated, hard working, have 

pride, mental toughness, heart and drive, with 

sound golf fundamentals.” 

– Head coach Bernie Herceg 

I program in the country. In the last five 

years, the Bearcats have won five prominent 

invitationals (New England Championship, 

Rhode Island Invitational, Yale MacDonald Cup, 

Dartmouth Invitational, Colgate Invitational) 

and have been runnerup at eight more. 

Binghamton alumni golfers have distinguished 

themselves as well. Playing professional

and goals for the Bearcats golf program.) 

What are your initial goals for the 

golf program? 

To strengthen our golf program and be 

more competitive. Good academics. Have 

a structured practice program. Win our 

conference championship annually. 

What excites you most about coaching 

at Binghamton? 

Being able to coach at a great school and the 

Division I level.Also, to be able to be part of 

helping the golfers mature and reach their goals. 

What kind of student-athlete are you 

looking to bring to Binghamton? 

I'm looking for players with good personalities 

and who fit with the University's mission. 

Also, golfers with sound golf fundamentals 

who are dedicated, hard working, have pride, 

mental toughness, heart and drive. 

What are your fondest memories of your 

own college playing career? 

Besides the friendships and camaraderie, 

being an Academic All-American. Attaining 

my goals academically and athletically. 

Q&a with bu head golf coach bernie herceg 

What do you enjoy most about the 

sport of golf? 

The challenge of the sport. Every golf course 

is different. The pursuit of playing great golf 

(ball striking, short game and scoring). I love 

to practice. Pulling off the shot when needed 

and the pressure is on. 

With your PGA teaching background, 

you are well aware of the recent 

technological aids and trends in the 

game. How has instruction and the game 

itself changed recently? 

The technology has allowed the instructor 

to analyze and identify more precisely what 

is going wrong with the swing, and it helps 

to communicate this and show the student, 

so they can see for themselves what is 

wrong. Most of the time what you think and 

feel you're doing with the swing is not what 

you're actually doing, and video helps prove 

that, and you can show the student which 

helps the learning process. 

Now that there is also 3-D analysis and 

bringing in the biomechanics part of the swing, 

we now understand more of how the body 

operates in the golf swing. From this, physical 

fitness plays a major role with golfers. We 

now have golf specific exercises and training 

methods so golfers can train their body 

correctly and the body can perform at a more 

efficient and consistent level. But even with all 

the technology and bells and whistles, it still 

comes down to the fundamentals, if you're not 

set up correctly, you're already setting yourself 

up for failure. Fundamentals are still the most 

important part of the swing, so you can allow 

your body to have the chance for a great swing 

with plenty of energy. Technology has also 

helped with viewing great players' swings and 

learning from them. Technology has helped 

with instruction, but there's so much more to 

golf than having a perfect swing. Technology 

can't help with aspects such as course 

management, scoring, handling pressure, etc. 

Technology, can at times, be a disadvantage. It 

has hurt some great players because they start 

to focus too much on the mechanics and they 

lose site of just playing the game. 

What are the hardest aspects of golf for 

anyone to learn? 

Coordination, if it doesn't come naturally 

for that individual. Also, understanding 

the importance of the fundamentals. 

It seems that people forget about the 

fundamentals and this is the primary cause 

for missed shots. Another aspect is not fully 

understanding the importance of the short 

game. It seems everyone wants to hit the ball 

far and straight, but you also need to learn 

how to get it in the hole. 

You were an honors student in business 

while you played college golf. How did 

you balance both requirements and how 

do you currently advise your studentathletes 

on the challenges of juggling so 

many things in college? 

First off you need to set goals for yourself. 

For me, it was to be the best I can with 

my academics and to be an honors 

student. I wasn't going to throw away any 

opportunities. Next it was to perform well 

for our team and school. You need to be 

dedicated, focused, hard working, disciplined 

and get along well with your teammates. 

Also, don't be afraid to use the resources of 

the institution to help you attain your goals. 

Who were/are your inspirations or role 

models, both athletically and personally? 

Athletically, I've always loved baseball. 

Growing up I'd say it was Bobby Murcer 

and Thurman Munson for the NY Yankees. 

For golf, I was inspired by the guys who 

worked hard on their games ... Ben Hogan, 

Nick Faldo. Personally, I'd have to say my 

parents. They never pushed me or made me 

do things when it came to sports. They were 

always fair to me and very supportive of the 

decisions I made. 

What points of pride do you emphasize 

with recruits about the kind of education 

and athletic experience they will receive 

at Binghamton? 

First off, to have Division I athletics at our 

University is phenomenal. Our athletics 

department is very dedicated to our 

programs being successful. When it comes to 

the academics, our school speaks for itself. 

The education that one will receive here is 

second-to-none and to be awarded a degree 

from our institution gives any individual the 

opportunities in life they are seeking. 

What other sports did you play as a 

teenager and how did you get into the 

sport of golf? 

Basketball and baseball were the two main 

sports I liked to play. I basically became more 

involved with golf once I figured that baseball 

wasn't the sport I was going to excel at. I 

really didn't start taking golf seriously until I 

was a sophomore in high school. 

With many of the top notch young golfers 

entering college with personal instructors 

and vast individual playing experience, 

what do you try to focus on to improve their 

games and create a team environment? 

First off I will evaluate players to understand 

their learning methods and their philosophy 

on the golf swing. From there, I will focus 

on maintaining their goals and our team 

goals, in addition to maintaining sound 

fundamentals and instruction. When It comes 

to the team environment, even though golf 

is very individual when it comes to scoring, 

it's still a team sport. One person is not going 

to win tournaments; it will be all the players' 

combined scores. I feel the team environment 

will be good because of our team practices, 

inter-squad challenges, team travel, winning 

events as a team, and encouraging each other 

will build good team unity and camaraderie. 

Talk about BU's home course, The Links 

at Hiawatha Landing, and what makes it 

an outstanding test for any golfer and a 

perfect home course for your team. 

I feel The Links is a perfect home course for 

our team because of the challenge of the 

course and the outstanding practice facilities, 

that give our players the opportunity to focus 

and train on all aspects of their game. The 

Links at Hiawatha Landing is a great course 

and great test. It will challenge all levels of 

golfers. The course can be stretched out to 

be over 7,100 yards from the championship 

tees. Being a Links-style course, there are 

many options in front of you to play each hole. 

Course management really comes into play 

as you need to think your way around as well 

as strike the ball well. Players will use every 

club in their bag throughout the round. All the 

bunkers were very well placed and come into 

play on every hole. The course can be very 

challenging, especially if the wind picks up, 

but also very fair. Players will be rewarded 

when they hit good shots. This course 

definitely will separate the very good players 

from the average ones.

SENIOR LEADERSHIP 

For the last decade, senior leadership has 

played an instrumental role in shaping 

BU’s success at the Division I level. The 

Bearcats have relied on players like Adam 

Fuchs (1999-2003) and Jeff Wolniewicz 

(2004-2007), the all-time individual 

scoring leaders, who have led BU to its 

two lowest team scoring averages at 

299.1 (2007) and 300.0 (2003). This 

year’s wave of seniors Jake Katz and 

Andrew Marler look to continue the 

four-year increment of record-breaking 

seasons. Co-Captains Katz and Marler 

have played in at least ten tournaments 

apiece over the past two seasons 

and have contributed in the six team 

titles over the 2008-09 and 2009-10 

campaigns. With a reliable contributor 

to the overall team score in Katz, the 

rest of the team can compete in a more 

relaxed state and concentrate on playing 

their game. “He’s improved to a point 

where it’s unbelievable,” head coach 

Bernie Herceg said. “He inspires the rest 

of the team because of his work ethic 

and how good he’s become. It’s great to 

have someone I can count on like that. 

He has the ability to win every single 

tournament.” 

INDIVIDUAL SIGHTS 

As the owner of the lowest single-season 

scoring average record and lowest 18hole 

round relative to par in BU history, 

Jake Katz has made his mark in the 

individual portion of a team sport. As 

a junior, Katz etched his name into the 

program’s record book with a scintillating 

6-under-par (66) in the team’s win at 

the Lafayette Invitational. With a current 

ranking of fourth on the program’s 

career scoring average list (75.10), Katz 

has the opportunity to leapfrog Adam 

Fuchs (74.73), Jeff Wolniewicz (75.07) 

and Zach Vinal (75.09) as the all-time 

scoring average leader. Katz has also 

accumulated 16 top-10 finishes in his 

career. He notched back-to-back seasons 

with eight top-10 placements as a 

sophomore and junior. The all-time record 

for top10-finishes belongs to Adam Fuchs 

(36), but Katz could surpass a few names 

on the list, including Jeff Wolniewicz (23) 

at second, if he continues his pace from 

the last two years. 

INCOMING FROSH 

The Bearcats welcome two new faces 

in Bryce Edmister and Paul Andrews 

that look to make an immediate impact 

on the squad. Edmister was a six-year 

letterwinner at Webster-Schroeder High 

School in Rochester. He will join Surdey 

as the second left-hander on the team. 

Edmister participated in qualifiers for the 

Monroe Invitational and Porter Cup over 

the summer. Meanwhile, Andrews racked 

up plenty of tournament experience in the 

summer months, including a third-place 

finish at the NYS High School Federation 

Tournament, which was played at 

Bethpage, site of the 2009 US Open. 

SUPPORTING CAST 

The Bearcats have a sure-fire man in 

Katz who has locked up the team’s No. 1 

spot and led them in scoring during the 

2009-10 campaign. However, scoring 

from the third and fourth spot will 

need to be consistent for the Bearcats 

to match or improve upon three team 

titles in consecutive seasons (2008-09, 

2009-10). David Cellura represents a 

sophomore-on-the-rise who held a 77.0 

scoring average (third best on team) 

in eight tournaments last season as a 

freshman. The Bearcats will also need 

contributions from Mike Surdey, who 

returns as a redshirt junior after missing 

much of the 2008-09 season due to 

illness. Surdey registered three top-10 

finishes last year en route to sharing a 

77.0 scoring average with Cellura. Trevor 

GOLF 2010-11 PreView 

Sophmore David Cellura Junior Mike Surdey 

Fiedler, another redshirt junior, sat out his 

first year (2007-08) in accordance with 

NCAA rules for transfer players. Fiedler 

looks to return his game to sophomore 

form (2008-09), where he tied for a 

team-best feat with two medalist honors 

and notched four top-10 finishes in 

seven tournaments. Fiedler, who has 

competed in eight tournaments over the

past two seasons, has won or tied for the 

individual title in 25% of the events he’s 

played. Marler, who has been a consistent 

contributor to the team over the past 

two years, looks to take on a leadership 

role as co-captain. He has garnered 

two top-10 finishes and eight top-20 

performances in his career at BU.

12-SQUAD CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP 

HIGHLIGHTS SCHEDULE IN SPRING 

Binghamton’s schedule will feature ten 

team tournaments; six events in the fall 

and four events, including the conference 

championship in the spring. The Bearcats 

will open the 2010-11 campaign for the 

second straight year at the Missouri Tiger 

Intercollegiate, hosted by the Turning 

Stone Resort in nearby Verona. Two weeks 

later, BU will compete in the Adams Cup 

of Newport, hosted by Rhode Island, at 

the prestigious Newport National GC. 

The Bearcats will close out September 

with a familiar tournament in the Cornell 

Invitational, an event they have won four 

times, including the 2009-10 tournament. 

They will also mix in the Philadelphia Big 5 

Invite, Yale MacDonald Cup, and Seton Hall 

Intercollegiate in October. The Bearcats 

have compiled two wins at the Yale 

MacDonald Cup in the last six years (2004- 

05, 2006-07). The America Sky Conference 

Championship headlines the four-event 

spring schedule. With the addition of 

Seattle University, this year’s event will 

feature a full 12-team conference. The 

Bearcats registered a fifth place finish in 

last year’s championship.

picturesque par-3 fifth hole at Cornell

COACHING SPOTLIGHT 

Bernie Herceg enters his third year as 

the Binghamton golf team’s head coach. 

Over the past two seasons, Herceg has 

amassed a 195-98-3 record in guiding 

the Bearcats to six team titles. This 

year’s squad is one of the deeper teams 

Herceg has seen in years with a roster 

that is between six and seven players 

deep. Therefore, a premium is placed on 

the qualifying rounds leading up to the 

team invitationals at BU’s home course, 

The Links at Hiawatha Landing. Herceg 

certainly welcomes a team with such 

depth that will ultimately make them 

more competitive.”I’m really excited to 

see how good we’re going to be this year 

because the rest of the team is playing so 

well,” said Herceg. “Our team is stronger 

and more competitive. It’s a good problem 

to have with how good our players are.

HIGHLIGHTS 

First at Cornell Invitational 

First at Hal Sutton Intercollegiate 

First at Lafayette Invitational 

season commenced with a sixth-place finish at the Turning 

Stone Intercollegiate, hosted by the University of Missouri. The 

Bearcats posted a 54-hole total of 923 (311-306-306) and were led 

by junior Mike Surdey, who carded 75-72-80 for an 11th place finish 

out of 65 players. Two weeks later, Binghamton secured a third-place 

standing in the St. Bonaventure Invitational on the strength of an 

impressive 288 team-total in the first round. Junior Jake Katz finished 

2nd of 72 as he posted 1-under-par 139 for the tournament. The 

Bearcats cruised to a seven-shot victory at the Cornell Invitational 

in nearby Ithaca. Consecutive rounds of 295 propelled the Bearcats 

squad to its lone victory of the fall season. Katz again earned runnerup 

honors, this time out of 79 participants. Senior Patrick Donovan 

paced the Bearcats at the prestigious Yale MacDonald Cup with 

rounds of 73-75-69. The team, however, could only muster an 11th 

place showing. Binghamton included a fourth-place effort out of 17 

teams at the Philadelphia Big 5 Invite. Andrew Marler registered a 

top-10 performance with rounds of 74-73. The Bearcats closed out 

the fall portion of the schedule at the Seton Hall Intercollegiate, where 

they produced another 3rd-place performance. Katz recorded his 

third runner-up finish of the fall with a 1-over-par 36-hole total. 

The spring season opened with a sluggish start at the C&F Bank 

Intercollegiate, hosted by William and Mary. Donovan’s 12th place 

ranking was an impressive one considering the 120-player field. 

Katz fired his lowest 54-hole total of the year at the Hal Sutton 

Intercollegiate to lead BU to its second team title of the 2009-10 

indiVidual statistics 

campaign. Binghamton’s most impressive feat, however, 

came at the Lafayette Invitational where they captured the 

team title out of 19 schools and Katz broke the all-time 

program record for the lowest 18-hole score in relation to 

par with a 6-under 66. He finished 2nd out 150 competitors 

and improved his first-round total by 12 strokes. The 

America Sky Championship featured a different look with 

four additional schools competing compared to the last 

conference championship in the fall of 2008. Binghamton 

settled for a fifth place showing at the Los Logos GC in 

McAllen, Texas. The spring season came to a close with 

the Virginia Cavalier Classic. The Bearcats improved by 14 

shots on the second day but could only manage a sixth 

place finish out of 11 teams. Katz led the team with a 3rd 

place standing out of 68. 

Binghamton’s individual performances also mirrored those 

of the 2008-09 program. Katz registered another stellar 

season as he led the Bearcats with eight top-10 finishes for 

the second consecutive campaign. In a record-setting year, 

Katz broke the program’s scoring mark with a 73.6 season 

average in 11 tournaments. He also set the low 18-hole 

total record with a scintillating 6-under (66) at Lafayette, 

where he finished second in a field of 150 participants. 

Katz earned PING All-Region honors and was named 

Tri-Player of the Year in the conference on the strength of 

strong showings throughout the spring season. Donovan 

also competed in all 11 tournaments with a 76.1 scoring 

average. He racked up two top-10 finishes and four top- 

20’s. Junior Mike Surdey and freshman David Cellura each 

played in eight tournaments and averaged scoring mark’s 

of 77.0. Junior Andrew Marler participated in ten team 

tournaments and accumulated three top-20 finishes and 

one top-10 effort.

conference historY 

skY Men’s golf conference 

Binghamton University's golf program 

is a member of the America Sky Golf 

Conference. The Bearcats and fellow 

America East member Hartford joined five 

other schools from across the country 

in creating the golf-only league in 2007. 

Former Big Sky Conference members 

Univeristy of Northern Colorado, Sacramento 

State University and Weber State University 

plus then-independent programs at the 

University of Texas-Pan American and Utah 

Valley State College comprised the seventeam 

conference three years ago. Last 

summer, Chicago State, Houston Baptist, 

North Dakota, and South Dakota moved 

to the America Sky from the Great West 

Conference. Seattle University accepted an 

invitation over the summer to become the 

12th team in the America Sky and will begin 

conference competition this year. 

The Bearcats have enjoyed great success 

in their eight years of Division I competition, 

boasting three NCAA regional appearances 

and two conference titles. The team has 

been one of the top-rated teams in the 

Northeast during that time frame. Hartford 

nipped BU to capture the final America East 

title in 2007 and consequently received an 

NCAA at-large berth.

Northern Colorado captured the 2006 

National Independent Men's Golf 

Championship and has earned 11 top- 

10 finishes over the last two seasons. 

Sacramento State, winner of the 2007 

independent championship, and Weber State, 

with seven top-10 finishes last year, also 

have strong programs. 

The first America Sky Men's Golf 

Conference Championship was held 

September 24-25, 2007, as part of the 

Weber State Purple & Red Invitational in 

Layton, Utah. The host Wildcats shot a 

final round 289 to win the 36-hole event at 

Valley View Golf Course. Weber State trailed 

first-round leader Sacramento State by a 

single shot entering the final round but the 

Wildcats beat the Hornets by six shots over 

the final 18-holes for a five shot victory. 

Binghamton shot 292-298=590 to place 

fourth – two strokes behind former America 

East rival Hartford and six behind runner-up 

Sacramento State. 

The 2011 Championship will be held May 

2-4, 2011, at Troon North Golf Club, in 

Scottsdale, Arizona.

NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP HIGHLIGHTS 

1992 Championship 

Wooster CC, Wooster, Ohio 

In the team’s first national championship appearance, BU 

shook off an opening-round 317 to post scores of 304-299- 

307 and finish seventh among 21 teams. The third-round 

299 was the lowest of the day among the field. Jake Sladish 

placed ninth individually, with brother Chris finishing 13th 

place. Both golfers earned All-America honors. 


Torrey Pines GC, La Jolla, Calif. 

The Colonials overcame the absence of All-American Jake 

Sladish to place fourth in a field of 22 teams. What began as 

a strong title contender with two All-Americans was reduced 

to a four-man team with two freshmen when Sladish was 

forced to withdraw after aggravating a back injury. Brother 

Chris picked up the slack, shooting 300 to finish fifth – just 

six strokes behind the medalist. Dave Andrews placed 12th 

to earn second team All-America honors. BU fended off a 

charging field with a final-round 302. 


Hulman Links, Terre Haute, Ind. 

BU battled through torrential rain storms to nail down 

sixth place among 23 teams in the shortened 54-hole 

championship. The Colonials vaulted from 10th place to sixth 

on the final day, thanks to a 305. Marc Merrill fired an evenpar 

72 in the second round and finished tied for 17th place 

among 120 golfers – good for third team All-America honors. 

John Binkley carded a final-round 74 to tie for 22nd and join 

Merrill as an All-American.

Colnials held on for seventh place among 23 teams. Tim 

Woods shot rounds of 72-76-74-73 to finish 10th with the

top-10 national finish in five years. 


Glade Springs Resort, Daniels, W. Va. 

In the team’s first year as a Division II program, Binghamton 

qualified for the NCAA Division II Northern Regional, and 

played steady golf to finish 11th in the field. All-District 

player Robb Gibb led the team with a 15th place showing, 

thanks to a pair of 74s in his last two rounds. 


Auburn University GC, Auburn, Ala. 

In the team’s second year as a Division I program, BU 

advanced to the NCAA East Regional and placed 22nd in a 

field that included national powers Clemson, Georgia Tech, 

Florida and Wake Forest among others. Lefty Kevin Crawford 

was BU’s low man with a +8 total (77-75-72) and finished in 

the top half of the field.
