Joe Kubick Season 2005-06

Freshman (2005-06)
Freshman Joe Kubick finished the fall in fifth place on the Husker roster in scoring after immediately establishing his identity with a strong performance at the Fairway Club Invitational.

“Joe is a fearless golfer who takes a few more chances than usual,” Spangler said. “For our team, that means a few more birdies, and as his talent develops, he will continue to make a strong impact.”

Kubick wrapped up the fall with a 76.67 stroke average, including a tie for 19th place at the Fairway Club Invitational with a score of 228. Kubick also fired a career-low round of 73 at the Louisiana Tech Invitational, where he finished with a score of 232.

Before Nebraska
Kubick was a standout prep golfer at Lincoln Southeast along with teammate Trent Price, both of whom were tutored by high school coach Dan Wolf. Kubick earned 2004 Nebraska Junior Amateur Player-of-the-Year honors for his outstanding performance during his senior year. He captured his second straight Junior Match Play title in 2004, becoming the first player to win the championship in back-to-back years since its inception in 1990. Kubick also performed well in the Nebraska Match Play, reaching the third round before being eliminated. On the national level, Kubick qualified for the 2004 U.S. Junior Championship at the The Olympic Club in San Francisco, and advanced to the match-play portion of the competition. Kubick missed much of his high school junior season at Southeast because of injury, but finished as the Class A runner-up in each of his first two years with the Knights, helping LSE to a second-place finish in 2002 and a third-place showing in 2003.

Personal
Joe is the son of Mark and Cindy Kubick and has two siblings, Justin (23) and Anna (21). Kubick was born on Jan. 15, 1987, and is majoring in business administration.
