Title: Men's golf
Post by: valpotx on April 27, 2013, 08:07:51 PM
Heading into the final day of the HL championship, we are in first place by 2 strokes!  It would be cool to get an NCAA bid in yet another sport!

We win!!!!  All NCAA bids and banners are belong to us (techies will get this)  ;).  We not only win the team championship, but Thomas Wettstein wins it for us on the individual level as well!  Congrats guys.

With Gaugert not playing up to "par" today our #5 Webb really came through with +1 today!  Way to go guys!

My parents, Dad is a VU KIP, live in Yalaha and were going to try and go over to Howey in the Hills today and catch some of the action.

Golf doesn't count towards the McAfferty (spelling?) trophy does it?

Any sport sponsored by the HL counts towards the standings.  It's the same type of event as S&D, CC, or T&F, where they have a few days to determine the championship, versus a conference season

Parents took the very short trip over to Mission Inn Resort on Sunday to check things out.  When I talked to them on the phone my mom said "well it wasn't like you see at the Master's".

Not a good start for our boys:  13th out of 13 with a 309.  Top 5 after 3 rounds advance...we're 15 strokes behind the cut so far.

We're playing better, but also last team out this morning.  Still 17 behind the cut.

Henning doing well in this amateur tournament that qualifies for the Masters!  He is in the final 8 out of an original 3,000+ participants!

We apparently have a new star on the golf team.  Peter Webb is now -9 after two rounds of their current tourney and tied for the lead while Kyle Henning, who made it to the quarterfinals of the Puplic Links National Championship, is tied for 35th.  I think says it all for the freshman!
