"Just to be a part of the Wake Forest golf tradition is an honor," Dailey said. "You can feel it right away when you step on campus and see the facilities. Golf is a major sport here, just like football and basketball. Trying to build a tradition with the women's team is a challenge I'm enjoying." "This university has a lot to offer young people, not only from a golf standpoint, but academically," Dailey continued. "Wake Forest is recognized as one of the top private institutions in the nation. There's a family atmosphere here -- from the students, to the faculty, to the other administrators -- there's a closeness here that other universities cannot match." Wake Forest redesigned is on-campus practice facility in 2010 and honored Dailey by naming the new instruction center the Dianne Dailey Golf Learning Center.
