Practice Round shots

B Turner hit a hook around a tree on the 11th at Pecan Valley during a qualifier last week.

Below are some pictures from our practice round at the Golf Club of Seguin this Friday. Without rain, the course is playing very firm and fast. Look for low scores as 3 of the par 5s will be reachable by the entire field.

About the process

In Luke Donald's press conference before the US Open this year he explained his rise to #1 in the world.

"And in the last few years I've just tried to go back to basics about just trying to improve every day, just trying to get a little bit better at every component in my game ... I think that's really gotten me to No. 1. It's been less of a thought about trying to be there, just more about going through the processes."

Fall Season Begins

Wednesday was our first qualifying round for our upcoming tournament. Warren Taylor was low with a -1, 35 at Pecan Valley Golf Club.

Eric Redeker was the low first-year with +2, 38.

Blast from the Past

A glimpse of TU Golf.....from 1978!!! Coach Braddock contacted me and found this great old photo of the squad. This is from a tournament which they won in Brownsville,TX.

If you can identify anyone in this photo, please let me know.

Students Return to Campus

The first-years moved into their dorms last Thursday and the returners arrived this weekend. We are excited to get the semester and our season underway. Below is a video explaining the move-in experience. Essentially, the first-year and their family do not have to move a thing: Team Trinity does all the heavy lifting. Here is a link to a video detailing the process from 2010.

Former D3 Player wins US Senior Open

Olin Browne won the US Senior Open at the end of July providing an explanation point to a great career, despite its inauspicious start. Below is an excerpt from the article. There is more than one way to get to the show.

"It couldn't have happened to a less likely guy. When he tried out for the Division III Occidental College team as a freshman, he shot 88 and 89 yet still made that shorthanded squad. He worked in the bag room at New Seabury Resort, a course on Cape Cod, that summer and decided then that he would become a professional golfer, leading to a long and determined road that featured only one successful try in his first 10 trips to Q school."
