TPC San Antonio

We played nine holes yesterday afternoon at the TPC San Antonio, Oaks Course. With the afternoon winds up, the course was very challenging, especially since the guys insisted on playing from the Valero Texas Open yardages. The course was immaculate and a great change of pace with the front nine totaling 3780 yards (500 yards longer than Old Brack.)

The course's most interesting and punishing characteristic were the bunkers.

Reddi out of a bunker on the first.

ELG on the short par 4, 5th.

Felipe and ED right of the 1st green.

The 213 yard par 3, 3rd played straight into the wind.

TY on #5.

Irons Only

We played Old Brack with irons only on Friday to work on hitting some longer shots into greens. Yoeff shot a fantastic -3, 33 and TY and Kalen both fired -1, 35. Impressive rounds!

The bags looked kind of funny without the woods and hybrids.

Yoeff SCAC POTW!

Geoffrey received SCAC Player of the Week honors from his performance this week.

Congrats Yoeff!

SSS Recap

When the weather is as difficult as it was on Monday and Tuesday, it takes a certain kind of performance to win a golf tournament. That is especially true when the course is like Comanche Trace with out of bounds or hazards on nearly every hole and multilevel greens with good speed. I saw our guys hit it out of bounds and in hazards, we had three putts and even two four putts, but our guys kept playing golf. I was really impressed with the scores our guys turned in despite the big numbers that they took on some of the more difficult holes. It was a great testament to their ability to shake off mistakes, trust that there game is good, and not allow a shot or hole to define their round. It was a great way to start the spring!

Full Field Results

Some notable tournament stats:

Yoeff and Warren led the field in par 3 scoring at -1.

Yoeff tied for the tournament lead for birdies with 7

Warren was T5 in birdies with 5

ELG was 3rd in pars with 22

Our team led the field in par 3 scoring at +11, second in birdies with 18, and second in pars with 98.

We have a couple weeks to prepare for our next tournament in Georgia so we will be working hard to improve some weaknesses. This tournament is always one of the teams favorites because Jekyll Island is a special place with a fun golf course against a premier field. We're looking to do some damage this year!

Schreiner Spring Shootout CHAMPS!

The guys took first place this week! Despite difficult playing conditions, our team outlasted the competition and played some solid golf. I'll have more details in another post!

Comanche Trace Practice Round

We had the opportunity to get in an extra practice round for next week's tournament at Comanche Trace. The course is in great shape and it should be an awesome event if we can skirt the predicted rains. Any extra time preparing on the bent grass greens will help our guys feel more comfortable come competition days. Kalen, ELG, Warren, Yoeff and TY will be playing as our team.

Reddi putting for birdie on the par 5 4th.

Yoeff just misses a long birdie on the par 5 7th.

Sunsets in the hill country are pretty special.

Day 1 of Spring

We started our spring season yesterday with some early morning sprints and 18 holes of golf in the afternoon at Old Brack. After a long off-season, it was great to get back to working with the team.

ELG shot a -4 67 and was low for the day.

TY tees off on #1

First-year Felipe Benalcazar hitting a driver of the first

B Turner hits a 3 iron off of #1
