UMHB- Round 1

Our guys hung in there and posted a solid score of 295. Five out of our six guys birdied the 18th to pick up some shots on the field. ELG and Yoeff recorded their first sub-par collegiate rounds with matching 69s. First-year, Kalen Vos had a lights out 31 on the back to finish at -1, 71. We were the first groups off the course and the field scores should be posted on golfstat and our athletics page soon.

Below are some shots from the tournament. As you can see, it was a little dry. The course had received less than an inch of rain for the calendar year leading up to our tournament.

Redeker holding the angle on the downswing. Yeah, he hits down on the ball.

Kalen debuted with a 4th place finish.

TY, Warren and Kalen received All-Tournament Team honors.

(Thanks Mr. Redeker for this picture)

Champions!

We opened up the season with a big win. I was really proud of the way our guys played. The first-years stepped up and played some great golf right out of the shoot. Our guys managed their games well, made a bunch of birdies and competed for all 54 holes.

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.

Kalen on #12

Warren chipping on #11

Eric teeing off on #10

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.

Another TU Tiger

Congrats to Marcus ('04, '05) and Kassi Mclack on the birth of the newest Tiger, Trey!
