With spring just about to start, many of the Georgia Southern University (GSU) have felt the urge to get back out on the golf course.
The GSU golf team will be competing in the first golf tournament of 2012 in Gainesville, Fla to showcase their skills. The tournament will be held at Mark Bostic Golf Course, a course that is short by professional standards, but nevertheless is one of the most challenging courses in the area.
The tournament will be the first of the semester, yet it is not the first of the golf season. The Eagles participated in five tournaments last year and GSU as a team has the record of achieving three of top five finishes among the five tournaments.
It was Lewis Gruber’s effort which helped the Eagles to win the tournament. The Eagles are currently fifth in the conference rankings and there are 6 tournaments to go. Larry Mays is the head coach of the Eagles who has been coaching the team for more than a decade.
