With a population of 215,000, the Wacometropolitan area is located in the heart ofCentral Texas and within driving distance of
most major urban centers in the state -approximately 100 miles from Dallas/Fort
Worth and Austin and 180 miles fromHouston and San Antonio.
Waco is named after the Waco Indians, thefirst inhabitants of the area surrounding anatural spring on the Brazos River. The tribelived in beehive-shaped huts and hadhundreds of acres of land planted with corn,beans and other vegetables. The tribe wasgenerally considered a peaceful one, butoccasionally, when threatened, the Wacosbecame protective of their territory. Part oftheir village was located on the banks of theBrazos where the Suspension Bridge was laterbuilt.
In 1837, the Texas Rangers arrived intendingto build a fort — Fort Fisher — at the Wacovillage, but the expedition was short-lived andplans for the outpost were canceled. A tradingpost was established near Waco Village in1844, and a year later a rugged Scot namedNeil McLennan established the first frontiersettlement in the area. In 1848, three yearsafter Texas became a state, the Mexican landgrant surrounding the old Waco Village sitewas sold to a group of businessmen fromGalveston. In 1849, surveyor George Erath laidout the first streets of Waco, and lots were soldfor $5 each. The City of Waco was incorporatedon Aug. 29, 1856, and serves as the county seatof McLennan County.
In 1870, the 475-foot Suspension Bridgeopened as the first pedestrian/wagon bridgeacross the Brazos River, providing easier accessfor numerous travelers as well as cattle herdsbeing driven along the Chisholm Trail. TheWaco and Northwestern Railroad reachedWaco in 1871, and the city was soon a hub ofcommerce for Central Texas.

2009 SEASON OUTLOOK
MEDIA INFORMATION THIS IS BAYLOR OUTLOUTLOOKOOK COACHES LADY BEARS ‘08 REVIEW HISTORY & RECORDS
This season looks to be a promising one as the Lady Bears hopeto capitalize on their fall success and compete for a Big 12Championship this spring.
All-American HopefulJunior Hannah Burke had a tremendous fall and is trying to
become Baylor's first All-American in program history. TheHertfordshire, England, native has continued her outstandingcareer at Baylor. She has consistently led the team in scoring overher years at Baylor. Her best in the fall came at the MountainviewCollegiate, where she carded a final round 73. Her fall scoringaverage of 78.52 led the team. Head coach Sylvia Ferdon hopesBurke can become Baylor’s first All-America selection.
New Face In TownLast fall, the Lady Bears hired Jordan Cox as its assistant coach
and his impact has already shown immediately. A great coach andrecruiter, he has helped bring in Chelsey Cothran, a freshman fromArkansas, who graduated early and should help the Lady Bearsimmediately this spring. Cox was an '86 Baylor graduate, andcomes to Waco from Shiloh Christian School in Arkansas.
"He has taught and coached young people having been a youthsports minister over the last seven years and he has been a highschool coach. He has two daughters of his own and brings theskills needed for teaching young women,” Ferdon said. “He did afantastic job grooming Chelsey Cothran to the national level injunior golf. He also has a background in radio and television, so heis very verbal, loves music, and I think young people like that. Hehas a great sense of humor. He has made practice and travelingeven more fun."
Young GunsThe Bears will return everyone next year, with the exception of
Natalie Hocott. The lone senior on the team has been a constantthroughout her years at Baylor. The future looks bright for the LadyBears, as they will have only one senior next year as well.Sophomores are really the heart of the team as Lene Hafsten-Morch, Morgan Chambers, and transfer Jordan Rhodes look toprovide young talent for BU season. Freshman Jaclyn Jansen andChelsey Cothran will give the team a tremendous boost this yearas well.
From The Coaches Mouth"I want to be competing for the Big 12 Championship. We have
had a couple of top three finishes and you get a taste of what ittakes to carry home that trophy. It was exciting to see our teamplay so well this fall at the host site, the Rawls Golf Course, at TexasTech. Our second place finish really fired our team up.
I also want our program consistently at the top national level.We've enjoyed a stretch of eight straight regional appearancesand a trip to nationals in the middle of that time period, 2004. Ourweakness at regionals seemed to be distance, notcompetitiveness. So, the last two years, I have consciously tried torecruit players with the athletic ability to move the ball out therein any kind of weather condition
I look forward to coaching this still very young group of players.They have the talent top to bottom to put us on that national level.Our practice sessions have been very focused and purposeful. Ourspring schedule is very competitive. Everyone just needs to havethe same vision. We need to imagine being successful and thenworking hard to make it happen. It is an exciting time to be aBaylor Bear."
The 2008-09 season marks the 15th season in which Baylor's women's golf program
has been under the remarkable leadership of head coach Sylvia Ferdon. Ferdon, who has
guided the Bears into the Big 12 Conference's upper echelon, has made Baylor a regular in
the NCAA postseason, leading the Bears to eight straight regional appearances and the
program's first-ever NCAA Championship berth in 2004. In the past six seasons, the Baylor
women's golf team has finished in the top five in 37 of 63 tournaments, including 12 team
titles.
BUILDING A WINNING TRADITION AT BAYLOR
In 2007-08, Ferdon guided Hannah Burke to her second top-10 finish at the Big 12
Championships. Burke became only the third Lady Bear in the program’s history to achieve
that accomplishment.
The 2006-07 season marked the eighth consecutive time that the Baylor women’s golf
made an appearance in an NCAA Regional. The Lady bears finished the 2006-07 campaign
with seven top five finishes, including its best ever showing in the Big 12 Championship
with a third place showing. The Lady Bears set a record low spring team-per-day scoring
average of 299.95.
The Bears started off the 2005-06 season with a team victory at the Ptarmigan/Ram
Classic. Senior Josefin Svenningsson and sophomore Sian Reddick shared the individual
title, each tying Svenningsson's school-record 54-hole total of 210. Reddick also broke
Svenningsson's 18-hole record with a 67 in the second round. In the spring coach Ferdon
guided her team to another victory at the Central District Invitational where the team shot
302, 298 and 296 for a total of 896. The Bears picked up a total of five top 10 finishes
including placing sixth at the Big 12 tournament, a finish earned in great part by Anna
Rehnholm's individual third-place finish. And for the seventh straight year, Baylor
qualified for the NCAA Regional tournament. The Bears wrapped up the season finishing
14th in the central region.
The 2004-05 season started with two fall team titles at the Aztec Fall Invitational and
the Ross Resorts Invitational. Reddick had an immediate impact for the Bears, leading the
team in stroke average, recording three top 10 finishes and setting the Baylor freshman
scoring record. The team tied the best showing in program history by finishing third at the
Big 12 Championship and held the lead through two rounds at the NCAA Central Regional
before missing a second straight NCAA Championship appearance by eight strokes.
In 2003-04, Svenningsson earned All-Big 12 and All-Central Regional honors, finished
in the top 20 at the NCAA Championships, destroyed the Baylor 54-hole record and tied the
then-single-round record twice. The team also had its most successful year to date, tying
for 19th in its first-ever NCAA Championship appearance. Meredith Jones, who received
Big 12 All-Tournament honors, and Anna Rehnholm, who set several Baylor freshman
records, had breakout seasons to help the Bears during their run to the NCAA
Championships.
In 2002-2003, Ferdon's Bears had a school-record four wins and were ranked 29th
nationally. Seniors Melanie Hagewood and Hanna-Sofia Svenningsson left a legacy at
Baylor as the only players to appear in a regional all four years they were at Baylor.
Hagewood was an All-Big 12 performer, a four-time Academic All-Big 12 selection, a
Verizon Academic All-American and the 2001 LPGA Dinah Shore Award winner.
Svenningsson was a three-time Academic All-Big 12 selection and improved her scoring
average each season.
The Baylor women's golf program began to earn national recognition in 1999-2000,
when the Bears posted their first team victory in six seasons and earned the school's first
NCAA Regional bid. Ferdon was honored as the 2000 Big 12 Conference Coach of the Year
following the season. Baylor posted a then-best seventh-place finish at the Big 12
Championships, and placed 18th in the 24-team NCAA West Regional in Tempe, Ariz.

2007-08 IN REVIEW
Baylor’s 2007-08 golf season was one full of ups and downs for the Lady Bears.
Coming off one of its successful years in the program history, the season looked bright for a
Baylor squad that was anchored by three seniors.
The 2007 fall edition of Golf Digest magazine ranked Baylor as No. 22 on the list of the best
programs to develop as a collegiate player. Academics, climate, facilities/coaches and player
growth/improvement were part of the criteria used in the rankings. Only two other Big 12
schools ranked higher.
The Lady Bears started the 2007 fall season out strong finishing amongs the top five
schools on two separate occasions, but injuries plagued a spring season which saw the Baylor
squad take home 12th place at the 2008 Big 12 Championships.
The season began with back-to-back tournaments in Colorado where Baylor earned a
10th-place finish at the Ptarmigan/Ram Fall Classic and then followed that up with its best
finish of the year; a second-place showing at the Ron Moore Invitational at Highlands Ranch
Golf Club in Littleton, Colo.
In an 18-team field at the Ron Moore Invite, the Lady Bears finished ahead of all six Big 12
participants. Sophomore Hannah Burke carded a season-low 54-hole total of 215 to take
home runner-up honors. Sian Reddick was the other Lady Bear to finish among that top 15,
placing 14th overall with a 223 (72-78-73).
Burke would go on to tally three more top-10 finishes to put her career total at eight after
the conclusion on the 2007-08 season.
One of those top-10 finishes came at the Big 12 Championships in Stillwater, Okla. The
sophomore from Hertfordshire, England, carded a three-day 237 to become only the third
Lady Bear in school history to be named to the Big 12 All-Tournament team in back-to-back
seasons. No Baylor golfer has ever done it three years in a row.
Burke, who held the top ranking in the English women's poll for most of the 2007-08
season, was honored as the team MVP with her team-best 76.47 stroke average over 32 holes
on play.
Last season also saw the addition of two highly-touted freshmen make their debut for the
Lady Bears. Lene Hafsten-Morch and Morgan Chambers combined to participate in 61 of
Baylor's 64 rounds during the 2007-08 season. Hafsten-Morch was the only Lady Bear, aside
from Burke, to post a stroke average in the 70's. The freshman from Billingstad, Norway,
finished with an average of 79.83 over 29 rounds of play.
Chambers ranked fourth on the squad with a stroke average of 80.44, participating in
every round of every tournament during her first season as a Lady Bear. Chambers' best finish
came at the Maxwell Berning Classic in Norman, Okla. as she carded a three-round total of
222 (74-76-72) to finish tied for 10th overall.
For the eighth consecutive season, Baylor had at least one student-athlete earn Academic
Scholar-Athlete honors from the National Golf Coaches Association. Chambers and sophomore
Kristen Hendrix earned the honor for the Lady Bears during the 2007-08 campaign.
The 2007-08 season saw the exit of Reddick, Meg McDaniel and Stephanie Waters, who
were all competing in their senior season.

The 2004 Baylor women’s golf team made history by
making the program’s first-ever appearance in the
NCAA Championships. The Bears finished tied for 19th
and saw memorable rounds from all five players.
Sophomore Josefin Svenningsson was outstanding,
carding a 4-over par 292 with two even-par rounds of
72 bookended by a pair of 74s. In the final round,
Svenningsson parred eight holes on the front nine and
added a birdie on 17.
Sophomore Meredith Jones steadily improved
throughout the tournament and broke out with a
career-low 1-under par 71 in the final round. After a
bogey on the opening hole, Jones was par or better on
each of the final 17 holes, including birdies on No. 4 and No. 12.
Freshman Anna Rehnholm made sure to finish her rookie season on a positive note, firing a 1-over
par 73. Rehnholm birdied four of the last seven holes, including three straight on 15, 16 and 17.
Seniors Michaelyn Morgan and Kelli McKandless each had highlights on which to end their
collegiate careers. Morgan opened with a 73 to lead the Bears early. McKandless shot a 73 in the third
round as all five Bears carded a 76 or better and posted a tournament-low team round of 295.
