West Cup

This was our first trip out to Goose Creek Golf Club for the first ever West Cup. As you can see, the course was in fantastic shape. While forgiving off the tee, the green complexes were very difficult, with drop offs that filtered into collection areas and greens running 12s on the stimpmeter.

The 422 yd par 4 15th from the dogleg.
The par 3s were very demanding. Here is TY on the 185 yd 2nd.

The 18th at Goose Creek is one of the hardest holes the guys have played all year. It is a 466 yard par 4 with water all down the right side through the green. The bunker straight ahead is an unreachable 336, but it provides a good aim point. Tuesdays back pin made it extremely difficult to save par from a left of the green bail out.

B Turner got down in two from 15ft over the pin on the 203 yard 18th.

Jekyll Island Intercollegiate Invitational

We completed another eventful tournament in Jekyll Island this past Sunday. Unfortunately our scoring Saturday and Sunday left much to be desired. We had the easier morning tee times and failed to post the good team scores necessary to make the move we needed. Some great nine hole stretches by some of the guys but not enough consistent scoring when you're playing against a deep field.

T29 Kalen Vos 74 78 76-228
T45 Alex Hartzell 74 83 73-230
T69 Tyler Lehmann 85 73 76- 234
T104 Blake Turner 76 83 82- 241
T120 Erik Long-Goheen 81 78 87-246

The Ranch

We were able to stay at a private residence near the course that we call The Ranch. As usual, the guys had a great time exploring the property and taking in the sights and the sounds. This is always one of our most fun trips as there is exotic wildlife, a lake and whole lot of fun things to do on the property.

We played a lot of table tennis over the four days. "I need my butterfly."

ELG got the best of Austin at the air hockey table.
