The UCLA golf programs will begin the 2010-11 season ranked among the Top 10 teams nationally, according to the GolfWorld Magazine preseason coaches poll released Wednesday.

The UCLA women's team, led by 12th-year head coach Carrie Forsyth was ranked second nationally and the men's team, guided by fourth-year head coach Derek Freeman was ranked seventh.
