It’s not out of the ordinary at all for us to be an at large for the tournament in the years we don’t win the conference.

Here's the tiers for importance college sports in the South (IMO):

1. Football
.
.

.
.
.
.
2. Everything Else

I'm talking about stuff that would fit into that last tier that are played by most of the P5 and DI. Baseball doesn't fit into that category.

FIFY...*except for NC and KY then throw basketball at 2.

Our team's social media was busy all summer posting results of our guys posting great finishes in tournaments and a ton of low 60s rounds in their day to day play. If there's a day where four of our five guys are on, there aren't too many teams in the country that can keep up.

LMAO- everyone is not back...we are missing one of the best golfers to ever come through our program, a walker cupper who finished 2nd NCAA's behind a guy named Matt Wolff..... kind of a big hit to the 5 man roster....

None the less, I am high on the team as well, but to leave out losing Fisk would be like saying everyone is returning to the football team the year after Adrian Peterson left.

That's all well and good, but we've got a Sun Belt Championship and at-large bids 2 of the last 3 (completed) seasons as well as a trip to the nationals, and we also host a tournament that brings in a number of SEC and ACC teams every year.

The Hackler Championship brings SEC and ACC teams every year along with the best West Coast teams also make the trip. We hosted a Regional last year for the NCAA as well. So I really don’t know what you are arguing?

If you host, and don't qualify... that's all you need to know about that years team.

CC does have a good program, but I'm going to take the eagles all day...especially with Carter Collins at the helm. We did everything prior with an a**hole for a coach... now we have a true leader and players coach.

I would also argue that the 912 has better courses than dirty myrtle. Ohoopee, Ocean Forest, Ford Plantation. Whereas the best track in MB is Caledonia or Dunes?? Yea, thanks but no thanks, give me 912 golf.

LMAO- that was a total brain fart on my part. The cancelling of spring season due to covid threw me off.... the point remains that he was on our last team that was able to compete at a regional/spring season. The essentially have only played half a season without him.

It also looks like we have 1 good freshman, saw on golfstat the other one was throwing up rounds in the 80's at GSU course.... not counting him out, but a horrific start to a college career. The team is certainly deep though, always nice when your 5 man can be your 1 man any given week.

It's all good. Given my job, I've been in a constant haze as well.

But having been around GS golf for a while, I stand by my claim about this season. There have been years where we have had bigger studs as our top player, but most of those years consisted of hoping that one of the bottom two guys in the lineup could do something useful and the entire team was screwed if one of the top two guys had a bad round.

This year, we have enough depth to realistically think that we won't have to count anything more than a few strokes over par in any given round. And on top of that, we have four or five guys who could rip off a 65 on any given day.

Agreed- this team is DEEP- we have 4, maybe 5 guys right now who could give pro golf a legitimate run. I also attribute that depth to CC the ability he has to recruit and connect with top juniors...something Mays struggled mightily with...also doesn't hurt that any given sun day your catch can wax you by 5 if your game isn't on. Was it the golden isles this year where CC beat the whole team? Or close to it.

Yeah. Collins got them all. He refuses to brag, so I have to do it for him... Got half the team on the record saying that he's the best at convincing you that he's old and barely plays and can't get off the tee, then coasts to a sub-70 round.

The golf courses in your vicinity and the accomplishments of one alumnus are not relevant criteria for judging the quality of a program Let's see your history of NCAA regional and championship appearances.

I'm not being disingenuous. I've literally never heard anyone refer to Myrtle Beach as the "center of the world of golf" before in my life. When's the last time Myrtle Beach has hosted a PGA tournament? I don't recall any in my lifetime.

Now Hilton Head? Yes. I've lived in the middle of the Holy Trinity: Augusta National, Hilton Head, and Sea Island for years. Annual PGA events and the Master's. What does Myrtle Beach have?
