UWF HALL OF FAME - CLASS OF 2012-13
The first UWF women’s golfer to be inducted into the hall of fame, Sarah 
Nicholson was a major factor in getting the program off the ground in blazing fashion. As a freshman, she helped lead the Argonauts to four team wins in just their first year of NCAA competition and competed in the NCAA Division II Women’s Golf Championships as an individual, the only UWF women’s golfer to do so.
The Cedar Falls, Iowa native received national recognition as a three-time All-American, including a second team selection her senior season in 2006-07. That same year she won the Gulf South Conference Championship and subsequently was named the GSC Player of the Year, rounding out her career with three All-GSC nods after the conference started making selections in 2005.
In total, Nicholson was a part of 13 team titles at West Florida - more than half of the total tournament wins in program history - along with two individual titles. She holds multiple records including lowest single season scoring average (75.85), 36 hole total (142) and 54 hole total (218) while ranking third all-time in career scoring average (78.70). Academically, Nicholson also received recognition as an All-American Scholar and a GSC All-Academic Team pick in 2006.
Nicholson is currently the First Assistant Golf Professional at Timarron Country Club in Southlake, Texas, and she earned membership to the PGA of America in 2011. She teaches several private golf lessons and is in charge of managing the golf shop inventory levels at Timarron.
