Tigers 2010 Golf Season Underway

The first tournament of South Georgia College’s brand new golf team is in the books.

The Tigers traveled to Albany to participate in the Darton Fall Invitational at River Pointe Golf Club. The team, made up entirely of freshman, learned a great deal from this first competition. SGC finished in seventh place and saw several areas in which the golfers need to focus in the coming weeks. “We struggled in several areas, but mainly on the mental side of scoring. Our practice schedule will include mental and physical preparation, with more emphasis on mental,” says David Haney, SGC golf coach.

Josh Burke led the way for SGC with an 80-79 (28th place), followed by Todd Dowling (77-87, tied for 34th), Shay Chavous (86-85, tied for 42nd), Kevin McKleroy (89-84, 45th) and Vince Thomas (86-89, 46th).

The Tigers next face ABAC on Sept. 27-28.
