Kirk is out with a broken hand for us, so we just have 6 guys in.

Thomas didn't qualify from Bama. Came really close the last couple weeks though.

A lot of homegrown talent and a lot of awesome golf courses. Pretty sure most of those UGA golfers are from the state or in the area

Duf is 3 under through 6. Bogeyed the 1st, but birdied 4 of the last 5.

Actually all the classy auburn women are skank and coke heads too. You know what they say though, less history more mystery.

ever been to athens?

In addition to that, UGA is just a super fratty place to be in general. Golf is one of the frattiest activities there is. So it's a natural choice for people in or around Georgia who are good at golf to play golf at UGA.

The UGA course is good enough that pros w/o ties to UGA stop and play there before heading to Augusta because the greens are similar

When did they renovate it? I played there 20 years ago in a AJGA tournament.

Last time I played there was circa 2008, it really made me realize how bad I am at golf.

Nevermind, found it.

quote:

In May 2006, the greens and the greens complex were completely renovated by Love Golf Design of St. Simons Island. The new green design brought the course up to the championship standards of today's top professional and collegiate players. The greens are very characteristic of a Jones course and the renovation included 21 new tees, making the course more versatile for both amateurs and professionals. The 2006 renovation has been received with positive ovation that continues today through the work of the current golf course staff, which is still under the leadership of Mr. Cousart.

Well for one, we don't borrow a golf course from a country club or manicupality. We have our own.

Have you seen pictures of it ?
