WOMEN
1. Methodist
Nobody in golf wins more than the Methodist women's golf team. No individual, professional, amateur or team. Nobody. The Lady Monarchs have fielded a Division III team for 22 years, and they've won 20 national championships, including the last 10. Last May, they won the NCAAs by 88 strokes. Yes, 88. They also had five of the top nine finishers, including the winner, Katie Dick, who's now a senior.
The players are part of the school's renowned Professional Golf Management degree program, which grooms students to become club professionals and instructors. A key ingredient of Methodist's success is that they spend most of the fall and spring competing in tournaments against Division 1 teams, which toughens them up for the NCAA championship. The players groove their games on the university's 6,200-yard course and 17-acre driving range.
