Bowling Green State University Men's Club Golf Team was awarded the opportunity to play in the NCCGA National Tournament in Flowood, MS.
Â
The team completed their regular season and finished in 3
rd place, and on the podium of all three tournaments they attended. This resulted in the team earning enough points to receive a bid to the National Tournament.Â
Â
Even though The Falcons did not win a tournament, the consistently low scores the team maintained at every tournament is what provided them with a chance to receive a national bid.
Â
Overall, the team placed 4
th, shooting a +21 741 two-day score. The tournament took five players from each team with the highest scores to determine team scores.
Â
BGSU also had two All-Tournament Team selections which were Sophomore, Maxwell Weaver, who finished 3
rd with a two-day score of -1 (73/70), and Junior,
Carter Frey, who finished 7
th with a two-day score of +2 (74/72).
Â
The rest of the team finished as such:
Â
Senior,
Alec Matej T25 +7 (77/74)
Senior, Harrison Hall T25 +7 (77/74)
Sophomore,
Ryan Klausing +7 (78/73)
Junior,
Brady Jacobs +9 (78/75)
Sophomore, Jack Gregory +9 (77/76)
Senior, Nathan Fousek T86 (84/83)
Â
The Falcons lost four senior members of the team last season which forced other team members to step into more valuable roles.Â
Â
"We learned that, as much as it is the individual score that goes in the book, how you can mesh as a team is what matter most," Sophomore, Maxwell Weaver, stated.
Â
The experience of traveling to the NCCGA National Tournament and various other tournaments throughout the season helped bring the team together and to grow closer.Â
Â
"If there was any advice I could give to a younger payer is to just enjoy every day you get to compete in the game of golf," said Weaver.
Â
One big tradition that BGSU Men's Club Golf team holds near to their hearts is eating at a local restaurant wherever they travel to.
Â
"No matter where we are in the country, you will find us enjoying the all you can eat chips and salsa and unique atmosphere," Weaver stated.
