  Heiny has been with the university for 38 years.He can't recall a season like this one.The team had to adjust to playing in a new conference, with a new head coach and now several incidents where players are making headlines for their conduct and not their play.
  
  "Our athletes do a tremendous amount for their community - volunteering and helping - but that gets overshadowed by this other stuff," said Heiny.
  ...
  Heiny says it is a proactive step in trying to improve the university's image.

  As always, Boyd was paired with Bob Heiny.
  
  If you didn't know better, you'd think these two were joined at the hip.
  
  They're certainly like two peas in a pod when it comes to golf.
  
  For the record, Heiny won the playoff on the first hole when Boyd failed to sink a short putt for par.
  
  The Boyd-Heiny team meet up about four times a week on a golf course somewhere.
  
  It's a good bet, they run into each other in the pro shop after each tournament, cashing in their gift certificates for merchandise, which by now has accumulated so much they could open their own shop.
  
  "We've got our share of merchandise, that's for sure," said Heiny, a longtime math professor at the University of Northern Colorado who for the first time in awhile is spending his summer months somewhere besides the golf course.
  
  "Well, my interim label started Monday," he laughed.
  
  Heiny, 62, is the interim athletic director at UNC while a search committee sorts out applications to find a permanent replacement for Jim Fallis, who left for a similar position at Northern Arizona University.
  ...
  Heiny's anxiety may rise a little this summer as his administrative duties cut into his golf time.
  
  Boyd, a longtime Greeley fireman, probably won't see as much of Heiny this summer, but it's a good bet that where you find one, you'll find the other not far away.
  
  When asked if he feels like he spends more time with Boyd than his family, Heiny laughed and said, "Yeah, something like that."
  
  He once joked that his wife, Linea, was somewhat serious when she said the Heiny household income was budgeted two ways -- for living expenses and for golf.
  
  It was to nobody's surprise that Boyd and Heiny went head-to-head for the Senior Division title over the weekend.
  ...
  Greeley, you can bet it's Boyd and Heiny."
  
  Boyd, 52, was a bit more consistent than his playing partner with rounds of 74 and 75 while Heiny scrambled to a 78 the first day, but carded an even-par 71 on the final round to force the playoff.
  
  He not only sensed a playoff would involve Boyd, he preferred it.
  
  "We really enjoy each other," Heiny said."We get along real well and play team golf a lot together.We both won our matches in the Colorado Cup play last week.
  
  "But it's funny," Heiny added, "we're very close, but we're different in a lot of ways."
  
  Boyd can be described as a campfire and a fishing pole sort of guy while Heiny is all Holiday Inn Express.
  
  "We're always in the same tournament, but we hardly ever travel together," Heiny said.
  ...
  After their fireside chat, Heiny opted to sleep under the covers at his hotel while Boyd slept under the stars.
  ...
  "He should have been, that's for sure," Heiny said."That's how it goes sometimes."Sort of like Sunday, when Heiny was glad to win, but would have preferred to do so in only one other way.
  
  "I wanted to play a few more holes with Bill," he said.

  Bob Heiny may seem old by some people's standards, but he's certainly not old school.In fact, everything considered, the 61-year-old Heiny is hip.Don't let his hair color - which resembles half-dry cement - fool you.The scars that run vertical down the sides of his knees aren't an indication of wobbly legs.The guy can walk tee-to-green with those less than half his age.And just about the time you think it's possible to get into Heiny's head, think again.A professor of mathematical sciences at the University of Northern Colorado, Heiny lives and breathes formulas and strategies. Get in a numbers game with him, and there's a good chance Heiny will convince you that X does indeed equal Y.When Heiny isn't conjuring up new final exams for his students, he's hypothesizing how to conquer his next par-5.It's no coincidence that his voicemail flatly states, "I'll return your call when I get off the golf course."That may be awhile.You see, some swear Heiny spends more time each day on the golf course than he does sleeping.He's smart enough to know that what worked yesterday isn't particularly going to work today, or even tomorrow.That theory has helped Heiny resemble a fine wine - getting better with age."I think I'm probably a better golfer than I used to be," Heiny said."But that may be mostly due to technology."Heiny has always possessed a much admired swing and the mental toughness to go with it.Now, he's added a new arsenal to his approach.A quick inventory reveals that Titelist's new Pro V1X ball may be why Heiny is coming off the tee like he's just spent an hour in the weight room."I'm hitting the ball 20 yards farther than I did last year, and have gone up a half-club to one full club on my irons," he said."I'm not swinging any differently."A putter which features a shaft longer than most teen-ager's height has steadied his putting stroke and straightened out his putting line, which had started to resemble a dog's hind leg."It took me four or five times to get used to the putter," Heiny said."Now, I love it."A new set of Callaway F16 irons are on order.Never mind they cost more than most people's monthly mortgage."My wife (Linnea) jokes that golf in our family, golf doesn't seem to have any budget," Heiny said.Well, whoever said there had to be a price for success.In Heiny's case, success has come in bunches as of late. Between him and his playing partner, Greeley's Bill Boyd, the pair have won five of seven weekend invitational titles in the senior's division.Boyd consistently calls Heiny, "the brains, and actually the brawn of the operation."Boyd claimed titles at Fox Hill (Longmont) Country Club, Boomerang Links, and Highland Hills.Heiny added the Collindale (Fort Collins) Invitational and the Pelican Lakes Invitational titles to the list.Last month, the pair combined to successfully defend their Colorado State Two-Man Team Championship title at Twin Peaks Golf Course in Longmont."We joke that someday we'll open up a golf shop with all the credit we have in the pro shops from winning tournaments," Heiny said.Heiny's also smart enough to know that the latest and most advanced technology can only take his game so far."Sure, it's generally the operator of the club that does make the difference, but you have to adjust to the new equipment that's out there, because it's making a difference in most people's game."In several weeks, Heiny will join Boyd by packing up all of his new toys and head to Turnberry, Scotland to try and qualify for the British Senior Open."It's kind of an obsession," Heiny said.
