Cal Closes Calendar Year In Hawaii At Nanea Invitational
KAILUA-KONA, Hawaii – Coming off an 11th-place finish at last weekend’s Stanford Intercollegiate, the California women’s golf team travels to Hawaii for its final competition of the fall.
The Golden Bears will be one of 11 teams in action at the Stanford-hosted Nanea Invitational – formerly the Pac-12 Preview – which takes place on Monday through Wednesday at the par-73, 6,449-yard course at Nanea Golf Club.
NANCY MCDANIEL PASSES AWAY
The Bears will be playing with heavy hearts this week following the passing of Nancy McDaniel, the program’s founding head coach who served 29 seasons at the helm from 1995-2024. McDaniel took the Bears to 23 NCAA Regionals and 10 NCAA Championships during a legendary career that resulted in numerous coach of the year awards, inductions into the WGCA, Cal Athletics, and NGCA Halls of Fame, and two Kim Moore Spirit Awards.
Throughout her long battle with breast cancer, McDaniel continued to use her voice and platform to raise awareness and funds, establishing the “Teach 4 The Cure” fundraiser – an annual clinic put on by Cal’s women’s golf program and other teams in the area in which all proceeds benefited breast cancer research – in addition to being a leading advocate in promoting the PlayForHer initiative, which has raised over $450,000 toward breast cancer research over the past two years.
