Congrats to William Green of Downingtown, PA for his hole in one at Scotland Run GC in Williamstown, NJ (Ranked #2 in Philly’s Best Courses 2012). William’s ace came on 4/30/12 on the 13th hole, playing 190 yards with a 4-hybrid. The shot was witnessed by Craig Connonlly and Tom Bradshaw.
In only his second year at the helm of the Rosemont golf team, head coach Bob Thomas was selected by his peers as the recipient of the 2012 Coach of the Year award for Golf in the CSAC.
In the program’s second year of competition, Thomas’ team improved dramatically using a team made up of freshmen to win one tournament, finish second in three tournaments and finish in third place in two other tournaments in the 2011-2012 schedule. The Ravens finished in 4th place overall
in the CSAC Championship event.
Tiger Woods recorded and posted a Q&A on his website today from fan-submitted questions. The video, nearly 15 minutes in length, offers nothing ground-breaking but provides an interesting glimpse of Tiger that his fans will enjoy.
West Chester University’s men’s golf squad learned that it qualified for the 2012 NCAA Division II Atlantic & East Regional late Friday in an announcement from the NCAA. The regional will be played at the Hershey Country Club – East Course in Hershey, Pa. from May 7-9.
The Golden Rams selection marks the second straight year in which West Chester has been picked as a team to play in the combined regional. Last spring, WCU placed ninth in the regional and did not advance to the NCAA Division II Men’s Golf Championships.
The Atlantic and East Regionals will be held in conjunction with one another and will consist of both team and individual competition conducted concurrently. A total of 10 teams and the top four individuals not with a team have been selected from each region to compete in the 54-hole regional. The top five teams and the top two individuals not with an advancing team (regardless of region) will move on to the finals.
East Vincent Township, home of Kimberton Golf Club and Spring Hollow Golf Club, is proposing an amusement tax that will be voted on during their next meeting on May 2nd at 7:30pm. The proposed tax will be at 5% of the greens fees collected. This tax will likely be passed on to the golfer, which could set a dangerous precedent around the Philadelphia area.
Kimberton GC is asking golfers to email, call, or even attend the May 2nd meeting to voice your opposition to this tax.
