re: Why is UGA Golf so subpar?

Nobody knew Hybl was available. He wasn’t planning to leave OU but some family stuff cropped up and his family decided they wanted to be closer to home.
DeMoss looks like the cheap and easy hire, but if you dig into it you’ll see why he got the job. Played at UGA and is responsible for signing the current US Amateur and US Junior champions plus the top ranked ‘27 recruit in the country. Assuming those guys continue on their projected path, I expect our golf program to contend for titles the next 2-3 years.

At least Russell Henley won the Colonial in impressive fashion, birding 16,17,18 to go to playoff and birding 18 to win...
Doesn't have anything to do with the thread but at least some good news...

Pointing out that bubba didn’t grow up in ATL doesn’t change that fact.
Two time green jacket winner Bubba, green jacket winner Patrick Reed, Hudson Swafford, Chris Kirk, Russell Henley, Harris English, Kevin Kisner , Open champion Brian Harmon just to name a few
Thinking that atl is some country club golf Mecca is just wrong. Outside of east lake CC maybe. Nobody goes to Atlanta to play golf. They go there to sit in traffic, go to strip malls, and watch their souls die

you’re spending way too much time arguing about where in Georgia these people came from. WGAF. I could go back and edit my OP to swap out metro ATL for rural GA and it doesn’t matter.

Could you expound on this?

I have no idea, but it seems those guys would have been Dawgs regardless.

Hybl’s in laws having some very recent health issues is what I’ve heard.
Those guys were not guaranteed Dawgs. The men’s program under Haack has dipped lately and other local programs like Auburn have surpassed them. We did get to nationals this year, but it’s been a while since we’d been there. I played for Dick Copas, who Haack replaced in 1996.

Thanks for clarifying that.

Great idea. Please edit that shite
Because your current premise is that UGA’s golfers come from metro atl when they do not. As if having a concrete golf desert full of transplants from places you can only golf 5 months out of the year is some secret weapon for us

You’d think a talent rich state like Georgia, and the country club culture of rural Georgia, the program wouldn’t be so below average.
By the way, Bobby MFing Jones was born in Atlanta.
Georgia golf remains one of the top feeder schools to the PGA Tour. The Bulldogs lead all universities with 10 alumni actively competing on the 2025 PGA Tour.
Yet the last time UGA Golf won the NC was more than 20 years ago.
