New thread for a new season.
The TCU men have posted a full schedule (11 events) for the upcoming year, which looks a lot like last year's.
Fall starts with the Carmel Cup on Sept. 3. Noticed in an old press release that the tournament was created by TCU alum and auto dealer Fin Ewing, which seems to be why the Frogs are a regular participant in the small field, along with host Texas Tech and Vanderbilt, where younger Ewings played collegiately.
The men will also host at Colonial, Oct. 4 & 5, and play other fall events in Carrollton, Atlanta, and Houston. Spring has them in Hawaii, La Quinta, Las Vegas, Phoenix and Scottsdale. The Phoenix event is hosted by GCU at the GCU golf course. How did an upstart private Christian school in a bad part of Phoenix come by a golf course? They leased it from the city, along with the accompanying restaurant. Using them as part of the school's hospitality management program.
But before they tee it up for the Frogs, Chris Berzina and Troy transfer Brent Hamm tee it up tomorrow with a whopping 312 others in the stroke-play portion of the U.S. Amateur at Oakmont and Longue Vue Club--one round at each club with the top 64 advancing to match play. Chris starts at Longue Vue at 8:45 Central. Brent starts at Oakmont at 11:45. Scoring is here. Lots of other info is here.
The women have not released a schedule yet. They've been focused on the lineup, and this week announced their third transfer of the summer: Caroline Jordaan, who hasn't played a tournament in two years at the University of Denver. Lakewood, Colorado, native missed her first year with an injury and didn't crack the lineup last year. But if she wanted to get coaches' attention, she did it with her play this summer, finishing 3rd in the Colorado Women's match play, 2nd in the Colorado Women's stroke play, and posting top-15 finishes in the Colorado Women's Open and Sea Island Women's Amateur. If you're scrounging for transfer possibilities late in the summer, finding someone who posted three recent 54-hole scores in the 212-216 range is a pretty good find.
