Through education, cultural stimulation and
economic development, the University of
Kentucky’s impact can be felt across all 120 Kentucky
counties. Blending creative teaching and
THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY
instruction methods with innovative research,
medical care and community service, it is no
wonder that UK is The University of Kentucky.
History
Founded in 1865 as a land-grant institution
adjacent to downtown Lexington, UK is nestled in
the scenic heart of the unique Bluegrass region of
Kentucky. From its early beginnings, with only
190 students and 10 professors, UK’s campus now
covers more than 716 acres and is home to over
26,000 students and nearly 11,000 employees.
Mission
Since the mid-1990s, UK has pursued an
ambitious goal set by the State Legislature to
become a top-20 public research university by
2020. UK President Lee T. Todd Jr. has
embraced this goal in a way that promises an
impact on every Kentucky resident.
“As the state’s flagship institution, the university
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 educational 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
UK’s diverse student population represents
117 countries, every state in the nation, and
every Kentucky county. The average ACT score
for its first-year students is four points above the
national average. UK students compete successfully
for the most prestigious scholarships and
awards, such as the Fulbright, Truman, Goldwater
and Marshall. UK was selected as one of only
13 universities nationwide to participate in the
Beckman Foundation Scholarship program in
2002 and the grant was renewed in 2005. This
prominent program allows UK to award grants
of $17,600 to students to support their own
research projects. UK also was recognized as a
Harry S. Truman Foundation Honor Institution
for exemplary participation in the program. To
date, UK boasts 12 Truman Scholars.
Outreach
The university is committed to strong public
service, reaching out to communities across the
Commonwealth, sharing knowledge and making a
difference in the towns, cities and lives of all Kentuckians.
An example is Health Education through
Extension Leadership, an ever-expanding Cooperative
Extension Service initiative to enhance extension
agents’ capacity to deliver research conducted
on campus throughout the state.
In 2000, officials launched The Campaign
for the University of Kentucky, a $600 million
fund-raising effort – the largest in state history –
to enhance facilities, academic programs, public
service and scholarships. After soaring past that
goal, UK set a new mark of $1 billion. UK is
well on our way, having brought in more than
$900 million.
Programs
Students can choose from some 200 majors
and degree programs in 17 academic and professional
colleges: Agriculture, Arts and Sciences,
Business and Economics, Communications and
Information Studies, Dentistry, Design, Education,
Engineering, Fine Arts, Health Sciences,
Law, Libraries, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy,
Public Health, and Social Work.
4 The future belongs to those who prepare for it. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Research
The university is working aggressively to
achieve its top-20 research goal. During fiscal
year 2005, UK faculty received a record-breaking
total of $274 million in extramural funding for
grants and contracts. The achievement marked
the fourth year in a row UK exceeded the $200
million level in sponsored project awards. In
federal expenditures, UK is ranked 28th among
all public universities.
Research at UK is a dynamic enterprise
encompassing both traditional scholarship and
emerging technologies. In April 2005 the university
opened the $74 million Biomedical Biological
Sciences Research Building, affectionately
known as the BBSRB. The BBSRB – UK’s
largest research facility – features an “open-format”
design that encourages collaborative
research across disciplines.
Medical Center
The UK Chandler Medical Center, opened
in 1960, is considered one of the nation’s finest
academic medical centers. The faculty, students
and staff of our young, dynamic Medical Center
take pride in achieving excellence in education,
patient care, research, and community service.
As one of two Level 1 Trauma Centers in Kentucky,
UK cares for the most critically injured
and ill patients in the region. The 473-bed UK
Chandler Hospital and Kentucky Children’s
Hospital are supported by more than 500 faculty
physicians and dentists, 400 resident physicians,
and a staff of 3,200 health professionals committed
to high-quality patient care.
UK HealthCare recently announced construction
of a new $450 million UK Chandler
Hospital. The new hospital, a 1-million square
foot facility that will be completed in 2010, is
the cornerstone of a 20-year, $2.5 billion plan to
construct the Commonwealth Medical Campus
of the Future. The medical campus will include
a new $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.

Library
With its well-manicured landscape and landmark
buildings, UK’s campus offers great facilities
that advance the scholarship of its students
and the research endeavors of its faculty. The
William T. Young Library is among the world’s
leading research libraries; its book endowment is
the largest among public universities. Its broad
scope of technology offers students, faculty and
Kentucky residents access to the most up-to-date
information from online journals, government
publications, and private studies, as well as more
traditional materials.
Agenda
UK’s agenda is simple. It is to accelerate the
movement toward academic excellence and to
become known worldwide for the quality of its academic
programs, its commitment to undergraduates,
its success in building a diverse community, and its
engagement with the larger society. That is what the
University of Kentucky is all about.

UNIVERSITY CLUB OF KENTUCKY
The University Club will
play host to the Wildcat Fall
Invitational in 2006.
The golf program at the University of Kentucky
enters its fifth season at the University
Club of Kentucky. The University Club is a members-only
club privately licensed by UK. The
course is the official home of the men’s
and women’s golf teams and will
host all of the University of
Kentucky’s tournaments.
Internationally
renowned golf course
architect Arthur Hills
designed the renovations
to the 36-hole Championship course.
Each 18-hole course is approximately 7,000
yards in length and stretches across 300 acres
of rolling terrain. A dozen lakes and ponds
complement the scenic courses.
“This club is a great asset for the University
of Kentucky,” Director of Golf Operations
Bettie Lou Evans said. “Having a facility like
this to call our own should make a tremendous
difference. The University Club helps
boost recruiting and give us more practice
time. All these things give our golfers great
opportunities to succeed.”
University Courses are currently in place at
other Southeastern Conference schools such as
Alabama, Auburn, Florida and South Carolina..
However, this club boasts many special features
that makes it one of the premier University
Clubs in the nation. Accompanying the beauty
of the course is a state-of-the-art practice facilitiy
exclusively for UK’s men and women’s golf
teams. The club house includes a grill, locker
rooms and a fully stocked pro shop.
The “U-Club” is the venue of the Wildcat
Fall Invitational and other significant events
this season. The clubhouse is filled with UK
memorabilia and contains private meeting
rooms that will serve as host to a variety of
University related conferences, events and
meetings.

KENTUCKY’S BIG BLUE COURSE
1 Par 4 361 Yards 2 Par 4 383 Yards 3 Par 3 148 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.
4 Par 4 353 Yards 5 Par 5 436 Yards 6 Par 4 352 Yards
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!
7 Par 5 487 Yards 8 Par 3 129 Yards 9 Par 4 326 Yards
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.
8 Shoot for the moon... Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars. -Seneca

10 Par 4 344 Yards 11 Par 4 342 Yards 12 Par 3 151 Yards
Drives must be played between
the fairway bunkers. The blind second
shot plays slightly uphill. Stay beneath
the hole here!
This par four offers one of the few
scoring opportunities on the back
nine. An accurate tee shot will leave a
short iron approach.
Club selection is critical here. Take
enough club to carry the water on this
long par three, but do not be careless.
A very tricky pitch shot awaits if you
make a mistake long.
13 Par 5 464 Yards 14 Par 4 327 Yards 15 Par 4 384 Yards
Another scoring chance! Avoid the
fairway bunker off the tee and this
hole will offer a good opportunity for
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.
16 Par 5 475 Yards 17 Par 3 170 Yards 18 Par 4 371 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.
It took me 17 years to get 3,000 hits in baseball. I did it in one afternoon on the golf course. - Hank Aaron 9

The Wildcat Fall Invitational has become an
annual tradition at the University of Kentucky.
The Cats hosted the tournament, then
called the Lady Kat Invitational, every year from
1979-97, before a four-year hiatus. UK opened the
University Club of Kentucky in 2001 and resumed
the tournament beginning in Fall 2002. The tournament’s
early beginnings can be traced back to
1976, when Kentucky hosted a predecessor of the
event for two seasons before women’s golf was a
varsity sport at the University. Tulsa claimed both
the 1976 and 1977 tournament titles.
The Wildcats have captured the Wildcat Fall
Invitational title 10 times in the modern tournament’s
23-year history, including six consecutive
crowns from 1983-88. Kentucky has had six
individual medalists in the event’s history.
Year in and year out, the Wildcat Fall Invitational
has played host to some of the nation’s
best collegiate golf teams. One-third of the
teams that participated in the 2005 Wildcat Fall
Invitational were selected for NCAA Regional

“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 facility is just
one of the many valuable features of the University
Club’s inception. The Club also will be
a future venue for many collegiate tournaments,
including the Wildcat Fall Invitational
which will be held in the Fall of 2006.
The Nutter Field House (below) is a good practice arena regardless of the weather.
With computerized netting systems, the facility is ideal for helping UK golfers build
consistency in their game. The $8.5 million facility has a 72-feet high ceiling, perfect
for any swing from a sand wedge to a driver.

Ohio Casualty 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.

Director of Athletics, Mitch Barnhart
Mitch Barnhart is in his fifth
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
Craig Skinner, diving’s Mike Lyden and baseball’s
John Cohen.
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.
UK is also nearing completion on a $30
million expansion of Memorial Coliseum that
includes new practice and office space for a variety
of sports, basketball chief among them.
Barnhart’s connection to UK’s student-athlete
is evident by his personal interaction and commitment
to provide all support services necessary
to meet the needs of these students.
Barnhart came to Kentucky from Oregon State,
where he served four successful years (1998-2002)
as athletics director. Before his tenure at OSU, he
worked at Tennessee for 12 years (1986-98);
served as assistant executive director of the SMU
Mustang Club (1983-86); regional director for
the Duck Athletic Fund at Oregon (1983); and
was an intern for the Aztec Athletic Foundation at
San Diego State (1982-1983).
Barnhart, 46, is a native of Kansas City, Kan.
He received his bachelor degree from Ottawa
University (Kansas) in 1981 and a masters in
sports administration from Ohio University in
1982. He and his wife, the former Connie
Brown, have three children, Kirby, 18, Blaire,
15, and Scott, 12.
Teamwork is the fuel that allows common people to produce uncommon results. - Unknown 13

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 will house 1.2 million books.
WILLIAM T. YOUNG LIBRARY
One of many study rooms in the library. The library can accommodate approximately 4,000 students
at any time.
The interior of the library has an airy,
open feel.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

2006-07
KENTUCKY GOLF OUTLOOK
The 2005-06 Kentucky women’s golf team
will aim to continue the success from the
spring season and the team’s individual successes
throughout the summer in its quest to return to
the national ranks of collegiate golf.
Sixth year head coach Stephanie Barker’s team
returns four letter winners and welcomes two
promising freshmen. Led by the return of Elizabeth
Dotson and Beth Felts, leadership will play
a pivotal role in achieving the team’s goals and
expectations for the forthcoming season.
Barker’s theme for the year is team synergy.
She believes a close-knit group will pay dividends
on the golf course.
“All of our players are extremely excited about
the possibilities of this team,” she said. “I’m
excited about our team dynamics and I think
that will help us achieve several of the team goals
we have for the season.”
Goal number one is getting the incomers to
buy into a system of team synergy and success.
Barker insists her four upperclassmen have the
opportunity to influence success not only for the
season, but for the future of the program.
“We have a chance to set up what we as a
team feel is important, while also holding each
other accountable,” said Barker. “We have new
people coming in who will be with us for the
next four or five years. Whatever we set up this
season will help influence expectations at every
level for many seasons to come.”
The expectations are all team-oriented. Barker
and her squad aspire to post an average team
score of 304, while breaking under 300 at least
once during a tournament. The blue and white
want to win at least one tournament per semester
and place in the top five of every tournament
they appear.
“I know those are high aspirations, but in our
sport it is one stroke here and one stroke there
that really makes a difference,” she said. “To get
to where we want to be, it is the little things that
will take us there.”
In order for the team to achieve its goals, it
requires each individual to be accountable for
her own game and level of commitment, while
also being responsible to each other.
Beth Felts leads a talented mix of
veterans and freshmen in 2006-07.
The Golfers
A former walk-on player and Lexington
native, Katie Johnson’s role as a leader is just as
important as her performance on the links.
“She is the type of player that coaches really
appreciate having on their team. She has an
exceptional work ethic, she’s a great player and
she really makes people around her better. People
who know her look up to her and they
respect her,” Barker said.
Johnson competed in 10 of the Wildcats’ tournaments
a year ago. Her best finish was a tie for
17th at the Lady Seahawk Invitational, but it is
the success she has enjoyed over the summer that
has Barker most excited.
In July, Johnson qualified for the U.S. Amateur
Championship after shooting a 74 in the
16 The will to win is important, but the will to prepare is vital. -Joe Paterno

Senior Katie Johnson must help lead two freshmen
this season.
qualifying round at the Cincinnati Country
Club in Cincinnati, Ohio. She also posted a
12th-place tie at the Kentucky Open after firing
a 152 over the two-day event.
Johnson’s lone classmate, Marissa Muir, is
another veteran leader Barker will look to this
upcoming season. Muir enjoyed early success as
she finished in the top ten of two tournaments
her rookie season. Injuries have plagued her the
past two seasons.
“Marissa is a great player and has a lot of talent.
I would just love for everything to come
together this year for her,” said Barker. “She
works really hard and she loves the sport.”
Rising juniors Felts and Dotson are the final
two upperclassmen of this season’s roster.
Dotson finished her sophomore campaign
with the team’s second-best per-stroke average of
77.48. The University of Kentucky’s “Comeback
Athlete of the Year,” powered her way
through a knee-injury and remained in the lineup
throughout the spring season.
Dotson’s resiliency combined with her natural
talent is a force to be reckoned with.
“Elizabeth can easily be under par and that is
exciting to watch,” said Barker. “She is a key
player for our success.”
Felts is perhaps the most relentless golfer on
the team.
“She is a fighter and works very hard,” said
Barker. “Beth is a tough competitor who is
going to grind it out every tournament. Based
on her summer and last season I would say her
game is at a great level.”
The Chattanooga, Tenn. native finished in the
top 10 in two out of the last three tournaments
in the spring, and is the only returnee who
appeared in all 11 tournaments. Success carried
with her into the summer as Felts also qualified
for the U.S. Amateur Championship after posting
a 75 in the qualifying round. At the Championship
she fired an opening round 80, and followed
with a 75 in day two.
Rounding out the roster are two highly-touted
freshmen. One is a Kentucky native who competed
in the State Amateur at the Summit Golf
and Country Club in Owensboro, Ky., this summer.
Jessica Smith finished in second-place after
her opponent sank a birdie to her
par putt on the 17th green of
match play.
“Jessica is one of our
local talents and obviously
one of the best players in
the state. She can hit the
ball a mile and really knows
how to play,” Barker said.
Erica Still rounds out the freshmen
class for Barker who knows that
the quicker her freshmen improve
course management and grow accustomed
to playing on a higher level the
success for this team is endless.
Still, a Waycross, Ga. native has enjoyed
national success on her road to Lexington.
“Erica is an extremely talented golfer with
invaluable experience on the national level, so
she brings a lot to the table. I expect her to have
a good year because she is such a solid player,”
said Barker.
Still added to the success stories of the Wildcats’
summer when she finished second after a
three-day total of 219, in the Jerry Pate/Andrews
Institute Southern Junior tournament presented
by the American Junior Golf Association.
The newcomers will have to learn the ropes
from the four returnees quickly if Barker and her
squad want to jump-start the season. The
Cougar Classic, the team’s first event, is just
three weeks into the academic calendar.
“There is a nice mix of events fairly close to
home where we’ve experienced some great success,
in addition to a couple of new venues,”
Barker said. “All of the events will provide our
students the experience to compete against a
wide variety of the top teams throughout the
country.”
The link to the national rankings begins with
“team,” and that is exactly what the 2006-07
Kentucky Wildcats aim to become.
Erica Still, a promising junior golfer,
heads the freshmen class.

STEPHANIE BARKER
Kentucky coach
Stephanie Barker
begins her sixth season at
the helm of the UK golf program. Under Barker’s
tutelage, the Wildcats have consistently made strides
towards becoming an elite-level golf program.
Barker’s hard work has paid off, evident by
the Cats consistently finishing among the
nation’s top 60 teams year in and year out.
During the past five years, Barker’s
determination to bring the program to
new heights has been evident by the
strides the athletes have taken in
tournaments, in the classroom and
in the community. Barker spearheaded
the Cats’ involvement in
“Building with Birdies,” a fundraising
program that aided victims of
Hurricane Katrina.
The 2005 squad posted one
of the finest seasons in recent
UK women’s golf history.
The Cats notched five topfive
team finishes in their
10 regular-season tournaments.
In addition, Kentucky
captured the Lady
Seahawk Invitational
Title. Sophomore Beth
Felts was named the
Cats’ first-ever SEC
Golfer of the Week in
program history for
helping UK to the
tournament title. Barker
led her team to an
especially strong fall
season that saw the
Cats finish in the topfive
in three of their
five tournaments.
Coach Barker has helped
guide the collegiate success of UK
golf and players like Beth Felts.
HEAD COACH • SIXTH SEASON
The 2004 campaign saw the Wildcats make
big improvements in a number of areas, including
strong individual performances by thenfreshmen
Elizabeth Dotson and Felts, who have
helped carry the program into the future.
During the 2003 season, the Cats took the
tournament title at the Big River Telephone
Classic and captured three top-five finishes as a
team. In 12 tournaments of the 2003 season,
Kentucky recorded 10 top-10 individual finishes,
five of which were recorded by newcomers.
The Cats also have been honored numerous
times for efforts in the classroom. Four golfers
have been inducted into the CATS Society of
Character and three women have been nominated
Academic All-Americans.
The squad continues to place an emphasis in
helping the surrounding community. In 2005,
senior Stacy Springer was named to the Southeastern
Conference Golf Good Works Team,
which highlights a golfer from each school for
her superior service efforts.
UK’s success extends from the course to the
classroom where five athletes were named to the
league’s spring academic honor roll in 2005 and
freshman Beth Felts was named to the SEC’s
freshmen academic honor roll.
Before joining the Kentucky coaching staff,
Barker was named the 2001 Big Sky Women’s
Coach of the Year after leading Cal State Northridge
to a second-place finish in the conference,
the school’s best finish since the program was reestablished
in 1996.
After graduating from Oklahoma State University
in 1994 with a bachelor’s degree in education,
she pursued a professional golf career on the LPGA
Tour, the Australian Tour, the Futures Tour and the
European LPGA Tour. She posted two top-20 finishes
on the European tour, two top-25 finishes on
the Australian Tour as well as two top-40 finishes
on the LPGA Tour. In 1995, Barker was a qualifier
for both the U.S. Open and the British Open. She
is a member of the LPGA teaching division and
has been a teaching professional since 1996.
Barker played for Hall of Fame coach Ann
Pitts at OSU. She captured four top-five finishes
in the Big VIII Championships and was an
NCAA Championship qualifier in each of her
four seasons with the Cowgirls. While at OSU,
Barker secured first-team All-American honors
while also earning three-time Academic All-
American and three-time Academic All-Big VIII
honors.

Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. - Ralph Waldo Emerson 27

A
privilege at a major university is to be a
student-athlete. Among the benefits that
student-athletes enjoy are significant learning
experiences that teach important life lessons.
None is more important than learning to return
that benefit to individuals in the community
that have supported and cheered the studentathlete,
win or lose.
The University of Kentucky has a community
outreach program that, when initiated a decade
ago, was intended to provide support for young
people. The program was viewed as a “one-way”
effort with the student-athlete giving and the
community and schools receiving. But as the
“Cats That Care” program has grown, one of the
most notable results is what the student-athletes
learn about themselves – they really do receive
by giving.
The athletic department’s community outreach
program began in 1990 when, in cooperation
with the College of Education, UK studentathletes
“adopted” the fifth-grade class at a local
school. The program matched UK student-athletes
one-on-one with school children, who in
turn, set goals while the student-athletes monitored
their progress and assisted the children in
achieving their stated objectives.
The program was highly successful and
continues today. “Cats That Care” has expanded
and now includes many worthwhile projects,
including:
Celebrity Hospital Visitor
Student-athletes visit patients at local hospitals,
including rehabilitation facilities and veterans
hospitals.
Cats Cultivating Character
Student-athletes teach character lessons twice a
month to third grade students at a local elementary
school.
Mentoring
Student-athletes serve as role models for many
elementary and middle school students. As a
mentor, they help younger students develop self
esteem and promote academic success through
weekly interaction.
Hospital Breakfast with Santa
Each year, UK student-athletes assist the UK
Children’s Hospital with a special Christmas
breakfast for children at the hospital.
CATS IN THE COMMUNITY
Kentucky Excel Mentor Program
UK student-athletes serve as mentors for high
school students participating in the program. It
provides scholarships for students who complete
the program.
UK Children’s Hospital
Student-atheltes volunteer at least once a
month to play games and visit with the patients.
School Speaker
Student-athletes visit a number of local
schools, speaking to children on a variety of topics,
including the importance of an education,
staying off drugs and promoting reading.
Boys and Girls Club
Student-athletes mentor and interact withchildren
and young adults on a weekly basis. They
also volunteer for various holiday activiites, such
as the “Mountain of Love.”
Food Drive
Student-athletes organize a food drive that
benefits God’s Pantry.
Great Leaps Program
Student-athletes volunteer on a weekly basis at
various elementary schools to help students
become better readers.
Ronald McDonald House
Student-athletes volunteer to bake dessert
items for the families staying here who have a
child in the hospital. They also help clean up the
ground and take time to clean the inside of the
House as well.
Hope Center
The Hope Center is a shelter for men serving
the Lexington-Fayette County area. Student-
Athletes volunteer at least once a month to serve
lunch and/or dinner to those currently staying at
the center.
Salvation Army
During the holiday season student-athletes volunteer
their time ringing bells for the “Red Kettle
Campaign” to help raise money. Students also
purchase small gifts to stuff in Christmas stockings
to be distributed to local families in need.

2005-06
SEASON IN REVIEW
Senior Ali Kicklighter led the squad
with four top-10 finishes.
Heading into the 2005-06 season, fifth-year head coach Stephanie
Barker had high expectations for her Kentucky women’s golf squad.
Barker moved away from traditional scheduling to create a slate that best
fit her team, and the Wildcats excelled.
Five top-five team finishes and a number of individual accomplishments
highlighted the 2005-06 Kentucky women’s golf season.
Though the Cats came just short of their goal of making the NCAA
Tournament, Kentucky made dramatic strides towards becoming
one of the nation’s elite golf programs. UK finished the year having
exceeded a number of team and individual goals.
“From the beginning, I could see that this team was serious about
wanting to improve,” Barker said. “They all understood that it would
be the little things that would get us to the next level. I like the fact
that we scored 305 or lower 15 times and five of those times were
under 300. The team placed in the top ten eight times, five of which
were in the top five. I feel like overall, we accomplished some great
things and we can perform even better if we put our minds to it.”
The Wildcats opened the 2005-06 season just down the road in Simpsonville,
Ky., participating in the University of Louisville’s Cardinal Cup.
UK finished in second place at the event and was led by senior Erin
Faulkner, who finished the tournament tied for second place with a twoover-par
218. As a team, the Cats fired a three-round total of 907
(311-300-296).
“The Cardinal Cup was really a good way to start our season,”
Barker said. “I felt like we put together two good rounds and
everyone competed well individually.”
In their annual Wildcat Fall Invitational, Kentucky carded a
first-round low 291 in the opening round and finished its
home tournament in fourth place. Sophomore Beth Felts
stepped up for the Cats, posting a five-over-par 221 over the
two-day event.
“I really am proud of the way Beth played at our home
tournament,” Barker said. “She was able to put together
some good rounds and really had a great tournament.”
After facing stiff competition at the University of North
Carolina’s Lady Tar Heel Invite, which included seven teams
ranked in the Golfweek top 25 and saw UK finish in a tie
for 16th place, the Wildcats traveled to Rogers, Ark., to play
in the Tyson/Embassy Suites Arkansas Invitational.
The Cats had a tough opening day in Arkansas, shooting a
311 and concluding the first round in 10th place. Kentucky
however, registered strong scores in the tournament’s second
and third rounds to finish the event in third place. Senior Ali
Kicklighter carded a 226 (78-74-74) to lead the Wildcats.
“I was so happy with the way our team battled at the
Arkansas tournament in order to finish strong,” Barker said. “It
was really a good course and we did a nice job of getting some
birdies.”
Kentucky concluded their fall slate by battling tough weather
conditions in Hawaii to finish the Kent Youel Invitational in
12th place.

“From the beginning, I could see that this team
was serious about wanting to improve. They all
understood that it would be the little things that
would get us to the next level.” — Coach Barker
UK opened with a rough start to the spring schedule as
the Wildcats were dealt a tough blow before beginning
the second half of their schedule.
Sophomore Elizabeth Dotson, who had
proven to be one of the team’s leaders,
went down with a knee injury sustained
Senior Erin Faulkner carded the lowest
off the course. Without Dotson, Kentucky
concluded play in the Papa John’s
round (69) of any UK golfer.
Collegiate Invitational in Miami Lakes,
Fla., with a ninth-place finish after a threeround
total of 921 (305-312-304).
From there the good times rolled for the Cats. At the LSU/Cleveland
Golf Classic the blue and white broke the top-ten mark with a ninth-place
finish for the second-consecutive week. Two of of the team’s three rounds
were scores of 303 or lower. Faulkner led the way, with a 225 overall score.
Kentucky posted its season-leading third consecutive ninth place finish
at the Lady Gator Inivitational. Sunshine State native Kicklighter topped
off her career with a 19th place finish in her home state to lead UK. Kicklighter
tied her career best round, with an opening-round 71.
The season’s marquee tournament followed, as the Cats claimed the Lady
Seahawk Invitational two weeks later.
“Any time you are able to win a tournament, it is really exciting,” said
Barker. “I am so proud of our team for making a comeback in tough conditions.”
Felts tied for second-place and Kicklighter notched fifth-place en route
to the victory. Junior Katie Johnson registered a top-20 finish for the first
time in the season.
Rounding out the regular season, the Wildcats enjoyed their fourth
consecutive top-10 finish as they placed fourth in the Lady Panther
Intercollegiate tournament in Stockbridge, Ga. This also marked backto-back
tournaments in which Felts and Kicklighter’s names were in the
top five of the leaderboard. Kicklighter topped the Cats scoring with a
second-place 148. Felts tied for fith after shooting a 151. Adding to the
positives, the tournament was closly contested as UK was only four shots
from the winner’s circle.
Kentucky’s late-spring rally of five impressive tournaments had the UK
faithful liking their chances in the SEC Tournament. The Wildcats’ however,
finished 11th in the tournament after registering a 936 score over the
three-day event. Their lowest round was a second-round total of 310.
Despite the disapointments at the SEC Championship, UK showed
resiliancy and promise in the latter part of the season, two qualities Barker
believes will propel the team to new heights in the 2006-07 season.
Do your best, one shot at a time and then move on. Remember that golf is just a game. -Nancy Lopez 31
