Women's Golf
While the men's basketball team gets the most press, the women's golf team has recently been the most successful team on campus. In the 2000-2005 seasons, Duke's head-to-head record was 796-45-3, a winning percentage of .945. The team won national championships in 1999, 2002, 2005, 2006, and 2007 as well as 13 consecutive ACC championships from 1995-2008. A number of successful professional golfers have gone through Duke's program. Jenny Chausiriporn and Brittany Lang finished as runners-up in the U.S. Women's Open while still undergraduates in 1998 and 2005, respectively.

Famous quotes containing the words women and/or golf:
“I may be able to spot arrowheads on the desert but a refrigerator is a jungle in which I am easily lost. My wife, however, will unerringly point out that the cheese or the leftover roast is hiding right in front of my eyes. Hundreds of such experiences convince me that men and women often inhabit quite different visual worlds. These are differences which cannot be attributed to variations in visual acuity. Man and women simply have learned to use their eyes in very different ways.”
—Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)
“If there is any larceny in a man, golf will bring it out.”
—Paul Gallico (1897–1976)
