The Park University women’s golf program will begin its first spring season under a new head coach for the first time in program history in

2010, as Michael Mueller takes the head post for the Pirates with a roster of four heading into spring competition. It will also be a season of change for the Pirates in terms of competition and conference affiliation, as the program moves from the Midlands Collegiate Athletic Conference (MCAC) to the American Mid-west Conference (AMC) for the 2009-10 season. One thing that will not change for the Pirates in is the conference qualification method for reaching the NAIA national tournament, as both the AMC and MCAC are unaffiliated conferences within the NAIA. In 2010, the Pirates will compete against fellow AMC members Hannibal-LaGrange College, McK-endree University, Missouri Baptist University and William Woods University, as well as institutions from the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Confer-ence and the Mid-Central College Conference, both of which contain schools from Indiana and Illinois. The AMC and the other conferences we play in the tournaments are some of the best women’s golf conferences in the nation,” Mueller said. “By my count, there will be four teams either ranked or receiving votes nationally playing at our conference tournament. That just means that our team will need to continue to prepare and focus throughout the spring so we can peak at the correct time.” Park begins its season in late March after com-peting in three fall events, two of which were won by sophomore Plern Promboobpa, who helped the Pirates capture a team title in the season opener in September at Graceland University. “We will learn a lot about ourselves in some of our early season tournaments this spring. We will play against both (NCAA Division II) teams and NAIA teams ranked in the top 25, so we should see very early how we compare to some of the best,” Mueller

said. “The team learned a lot about my expectations for preparation and focus during practice and tourna-ments during the fall sea-son, and they were able to carry those lessons into their winter training. With that in mind, I expect the each of the girls to consis-tently perform at a higher level than they have ever performed in the past.” In 10 career tourna-ments, Promboobpa, a sophomore from Rayong, Thailand, who competed at Blue Springs South High School, enters the spring with eight top 10 finishes, including one second-place finish and two medalist titles from last fall. “Plern is the unquestioned leader of the team, and the limits to her ability seem to be endless,” Mu-eller said. “I am excited to see how she will compete this spring and continue to develop as a golfer over the next two years.” In addition to Promboobpa’s leadership, a pair of seniors will also compete for a final spring in a Park University uniform, including Nicole Ainsworth, from Lake Quivira, Kan., and Shawnee Mission North-west High School, who had her best fall season as a Pirate by posting a second-place finish at the Ot-tawa University Invitational. Nicole Wiehe, Park’s second senior, from Kansas City, Kan., and Piper High School, has been a staple in the Pirate lineup for four seasons, with 11 career top 10 finishes, including a second-place finish in the 2008 MCAC championship and a third-place fin-ish in the 2008 NAIA Region IV tournament. “(Wiehe) is the perfect example for my lessons on focus and controlling emotions, which combined

with her consistent ball striking give her the oppor-tunity to shoot a low score every round,” Mueller said. “And (Ainsworth) made incredible strides in her game in the fall season, and I expect similar im-provement yet this spring. Her ball striking and short game are superb, which should carry her to some high finishes.” One newcomer to the roster will also help Park in the 2010 spring season, as Jasey Huber will play her first career collegiate golf tournament as a junior in late March. Huber comes to Park from Spring Hill, Kan., and Spring Hill High School. “Jasey is new to us this spring, and I am amazed at how well she has taken instruction and commit-ted herself to the game. She is going to be a very important part of our team this year,” Mueller said. Park University will compete in five spring tournaments, including the 2010 Park University Invitational, held at The National Golf Club of Kan-sas City’s second course, The Deuce, April 12-13. Postseason play begins May 10 in Alton, Ill., with the AMC/Unaffiliated Championship at Spencer T. Olin Golf Course, which will also host the AMC/Unaffili-ated Preview in late April.

Seniors Nicole Ainsworth (above right) and Nicole Wiehe (above left) will join sophomore Plern Promboobpa (pictured) as Park’s three returners to the 2010 spring roster. One new addition, Jasey Huber (above middle) will round out the roster for first-year head coach Mike Mueller.

Park University begins its first season back in the American Midwest Conference in the 2009-10 school year, rejoining the league after nine years

of membership in the MCAC and as an NAIA Indepen-dent in basketball. Park previously held membership in the AMC from 1993 to 2000, exiting the league following the spring semester in 2000. “This is a great partnership for Park University and the AMC,” said Park University Director of Athlet-ics, Claude English. “In the ever-changing landscape of collegiate athletics, it is important to have strong alliances within a conference for all of our athletic programs. The AMC gives us one unified conference home for our pro-grams, and it also provides a familiarity with our past history in the league.” Park is one of nine AMC member institutions, joining Columbia College, Hannibal-LaGrange Col-lege, Harris-Stowe State University, McKendree Uni-versity, Missouri Baptist University, Stephens College, William Woods University and Williams Baptist Col-lege. “The AMC looks forward to Park University rejoin-ing the conference, and we know that Park will bring a lot to our league in the way of sponsored teams and quality conference competition,” Lowell Pitzer, AMC Commissioner, said. “Park’s location and proximity to the NAIA Na-tional Headquarters will also provide a boost for our conference. This was a unanimous decision by our executive committee, and we are excited for Park to come in next year.” The AMC sponsors championships in 13 differ-ent sports: baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and wom-en’s golf, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s track and field, and volleyball. The purpose of the American Midwest Confer-ence is to promote the positive ideals and objectives of athletics, to provide an organization of colleges and universities with similar foundations to engage in ath-letic contests on an equal basis, to serve as a forum to formulate and solve common problems, to enhance and preserve athletics in their true perspective and to promote athletics in an academic environment.

Park University Director of Athletics Claude English named Mike Mueller as the school’s second head women’s golf coach in program his-tory, on Sept. 10, 2009. Mueller (pronounced Miller), an 11-year veteran in the golf business, is a Class-A PGA Professional and currently works as a teaching pro at The National Golf Club of Kansas City, a 36-hole private golf club that has been recognized as a Top 100 Golf Community in America for four-consecutive years. The National also serves as Park University’s home practice and tournament facility.

“Coaching a college golf team has long been a dream of mine, and I look forward to building on the tradition of both athletic and academic excellence at Park University,” Mueller said. “I feel that we can be a program that can compete with the best schools nationally. The combination of a beautiful campus with high academic standards, a great place to practice and play at The National and our location should allow us to recruit quality student-athletes.”

Prior to his stop at The National, Mueller was the owner and Director of Instruction for the Golf Academy of the Northland, a full-service instructional program at Shoal Creek Golf Club in Kansas City. He has also made local stops at Truman State University, where he was an instructor, teaching an eight-week golf course each semester. The teaching role came in conjunction with his work as the Head Golf Profes-sional and General Manager of Kirksville Country Club, in Kirksville, Mo.

Mueller got his start in the golf business at Bryan Park Golf Club in Greensboro, N.C., where he was the assistant golf professional from September of 1997 to August of 2002. From Greensboro, he moved on to Atlanta Country Club in Marietta, Ga., where he was also assistant golf professional for another Top 100 club with 500 club members. Mueller holds a bachelor’s degree in secondary education (1996) from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, and a master’s degree in counseling and educational develop-ment from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

“We’re excited to have Mike as a member of our staff,” English said. “He brings a wealth of experience, and he has a great ability to teach the game. He has tremendous golf knowledge, but more importantly, he is committed to the academic success of our student-athletes.”

“We have a group of outstanding young women who have proven that they can play at a high level both individually and as a team,” Mueller said. “My goal for these players is to help them achieve their full potential during their time here at Park.”

Ashley Nicks is in her second season as an assistant coach for the Park Uni-versity women’s golf program after playing for four years at Park under former head coach Kelly DeFeo, from 2004 to 2008.

Nicks will now assist current head coach Mike Mueller with team travel plans, player instruction and general program operations.

Nicks was the MCAC Player of the Year in 2007-08, winning the MCAC crown at Alvamar Golf Club in Lawrence, Kan.

She was also regional runner-up at Sunflower Hills, helping the Pirates to the school’s first-ever Region IV title and trip to the NAIA national tournament in San Diego, Calif.

A native of St. Louis, Mo., Nicks is one of two Pirates in school history with an individual conference title to her credit, and she was the first-ever No. 1 player in Park history to lead her team to a national tournament appearance. In addition to her coaching duties at Park, Nicks currently serves on the golf staff at The National Golf Club of Kansas City.

SPRING 2009 RECAP Park University got its spring off to a rainy start in the southern part of the Sunflower State, finishing in sixth place at the South Central Kansas Invitational, hosted by Southwestern College. Plern Promboobpa earned a fifth-place finish in the event, shooting a first-day 88, followed by a day-two 87 to finish at 175. The Pirates then registered a 12th-place finish among a loaded field at the Bluebonnet Classic in DeSoto, Texas, followed by seventh-place at home, hosting the Park University Invitational at The Na-tional Golf Club of Kansas City’s second course, The Deuce. Nicole Wiehe led the way for Park in its home event, shooting 176, including a team-best 87 on the tournament’s second day. Park’s final event of the 2009 spring season would come in Oklahoma City, Okla., at the RRAC/MCAC Unaffiliated Championships, played at Lin-coln Park Golf Course. The Pirates were unable to qualify for the NAIA national championship, as they had the year before by winning a regional tournament. Park finished third among the RRAC/MCAC field, while Promboobpa also missed the national event, finishing third in the field. Promboobpa shot a pair of 78’s in the Pirates’ postseason event. The 2009 spring season also proved to be the end of an era at Park University in its women’s golf program, as head coach Kelly DeFeo stepped down from her position as head coach, which she had held since the program’s beginning in the 2003-04 sea-son.

FALL 2009 RECAP Mike Mueller’s first season as head golf coach at Park University began with a win on Sept. 19, when the Pirates took the Graceland University Invitational at Lamoni Country Club in Lamoni, Iowa. For the first time in school history, all four play-ers on the roster broke 90 in the event, including Promboobpa’s 76, which finished in a first-place tie with Missouri Valley College’s Megan Gauthier. Promboobpa chipped in for birdie on the first playoff hole, claiming her first career collegiate championship. Wiehe also finished in the top 10 with an 85, followed by 89’s from both Nicole Ainsworth and Allison Vaughn, who played her final event as member of the Park University women’s golf pro-gram in the event. Donna Gallman joined the roster for Park’s next

tournament, Oct. 7-8, at Ottawa University, and for the second-straight time, Promboobpa came away a champion, firing an 80 on day one, followed by a second-day 87 for 167. Ainsworth also earned her best career finish, ty-ing for second by shooting 84 and 88, and Wiehe finished in the top 10 with a two-day 185. Promboobpa’s championship run would end a week later in the Avila University Invitational at Over-land Park’s St. Andrew’s Golf Club, finishing second after shooting 79-77. The Pirates finished fourth in the tournament, a week after finishing third in Ottawa’s tournament at Eagle Bend Golf Course in Lawrence.

Park University calls Parkville, Mo., and the Greater Kan-sas City Area home, offering students the features of both small-town life and the flashing lights of the big city.

With a population of just more than 4,000, Parkville al-lows students the small-town lifestyle and tightly knit commu-nity often times associated with small college athletics and the NAIA. Originally a trading post on the Missouri River, Parkville grew as Kansas City boomed in the late 1800s, which included the founding of Park University. Both the University and the city get their names from Col. George S. Park, who played a key role in the early develop-ment of the area. Today, Parkville’s historic downtown district coupled with new shopping areas to the north and east of Park University’s Parkville Campus gives Park students two great entertainment opportunities within the area. Parkville sits within the Northland of the Greater Kansas City Metropolitan Area, which encompasses 15 counties, nine of which are in Missouri and six across the state line in Kan-sas. The Northland is locally referred to as “north of the river”. Contained wholly within Missouri, it encompasses portions of Clay County including the northern half of Kansas City, Mo., and the cities of Parkville, Liberty,

North Kansas City and Gladstone. As a whole, the Kansas City Metropolitan Area is situated at the confluence of the Kansas and Missouri Rivers, often referred to as Kaw Point, straddling the state border between Missouri and Kansas. The Kansas City Metropolitan Statistical Area, anchored by Kansas City,

Kansas City’s downtown skyline one of the metropolitan area’s most recognizable views, as seen from across the Missouri River. The downtown area, which has undergone a drastic face lift in the last two years, is about 10 miles from Park University’s Parkville campus (above). Home to the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, the College Basketball Experience, Municipal Auditorium and the Power & Light District, downtown Kansas City is re-establishing itself as one of the area’s best entertainment districts.

Mo., is the 27th largest in the United States, with an estimated population just shy of 2 million. A tradition-rich city known for its barbecue and storied sports history, Kan-sas City is currently home to Major League Baseball’s Kansas City Royals, the Kansas City Chiefs of the NFL, Major League Soccer’s Kansas City Wizards, and the Kansas Speedway, which is host to several NASCAR events throughout the year including one Nextel Cup Series event in the fall. The Wizards currently play next door to Kansas Speedway at Community America Ballpark, which is also home to KC’s minor league baseball franchise, the Kansas City T-Bones. The Wizards are scheduled to open a new stadium in 2011 where Ban-nister Mall once stood on the city’s east side. Kansas City is also home to the Kansas City Explorers of World Team Tennis, and the city will add two more minor league franchises during Park University’s 2009-10 school year when the Missouri Mav-ericks of the CHL begin play in Independence, along with an American Basketball Associa-tion franchise that will work to begin play in the ABA’s 2009 season. Kansas City is also home to the Sprint Center and Kansas City Power & Light Dis-trict, which opened in 2007 and has quickly turned into one of the region’s top entertain-ment districts. The Sprint Center also houses the Col-lege Basketball Experience, which includes the College Basketball Hall of Fame. Blocks from the Power & Light District and the Sprint Center sits Municipal Auditori-um, home to the Buffalo Funds-NAIA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament. Additionally, the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics moved its offices downtown in the summer of 2007 after more than five years in nearby Olathe, Kan., blocks from both the Sprint Center and Municipal Au-

ditorium. In the 2009-10 season, Park advanced to the tournament’s sweet 16, marking the second appearance in the tournament by the Pirates in the last four seasons. Kansas City is also known for its historic shopping districts, including West-port and the Country Club Plaza, which is one of the world’s largest outdoor shopping areas designed for motor-vehicles. Commonly referred to as “The Plaza”, the Country Club Plaza is home to one of the nation’s largest holiday light displays between the Thanksgiving Holiday and mid-January. In the Northland, Zona Rosa has become a popular shopping district, while Town Center and The Legends at Village West in Kansas keep shoppers oc-cupied in the Sunflower State.

At nearly 80,000 seats and the third-largest facility in the National Football League, Arrowhead Stadium is known as one of the NFL’s loudest when the Chiefs play on Sundays in the fall. Arrowhead is part of the two-stadium Truman Sports Complex, which also houses the newly renovated Kauffman Stadium, home of Major League Baseball’s Kansas City Royals. At nearly 40,000 seats, “the K” opened in 1973 and was home to the Royals in 1985 when the club brought home its first-ever World Series title in seven games over the St. Louis Cardinals.

Named after longtime Park University President Donald Breckon, the Breckon Sports Center was built in 2000 and houses the Park University athletic department offices. The 1,000-seat capacity arena in the west dome plays host to men’s and women’s basketball and men’s and women’s volleyball games. The east dome serves as practice facility for not only the volleyball teams, but also is a year-round indoor home to the soccer, baseball and softball programs.

Park University’s training facilities for student-athletes includes a regulation track, which is located adjacent to Julian Field, a full weight room and cardio training facility located in the Pirate Fitness Center, as well as a sports medicine facility in the Pirate Fitness Center with three full-time, fully accredited athletic trainers and one certified personal trainer/campus wellness professional.

Park University’s outdoor athletics facilities include one of the NAIA’s premiere soccer facilities, Julian Field, as well as Comfort Field, which is home to Park’s baseball program, and the Park Softball Complex.
