Golf team closes out fall with strong showing.
The golf season in both high school and college has always really confused me. I remember the UM team finishing sometime after the rest of the students had gone home and started right back up in the fall. It seems like they play the whole year and I'm pretty sure they kind of do.
Anyway, the Griz golf team finished up the fall portion of it's season with a 5th place finish at the TaylorMade Aztec Fall Classic, what a great name. UM finished in a tie with Notre Dame while Sac State finished in 10th, Portland State in 14th and Northern Arizona in 16th.
The season starts up again in April with the Northern Arizona Invitational. What if football or basketball had to do this? Could you imagine the Griz making it up to #2 in the rankings, being undefeated in conference play then just calling it a season until they could go outside without seeing their breaths? Sure golf is best in the summer and we can't have students playing then but this just seems a little weird.
In other golf news, UM might purchase Highlands golf course so athletic and academic buildings can be built on the current 9-hole course.
