College golf question


May 15, 2018, 10:42 AM

Why dont we ever have an NCAA event on our course or in the state? Or even the ACC Championship. Plenty of good courses in the state. Funny how these are always in the same places yet Greenville was such a a baesball tourney advantage. Inconsistent much?

Actually you will likely see more tournaments in the state. For a long time the NCAA did not allow it due to the confederate flag. Many of these events are scheduled years in advance, so the 2015 rule change will start to bring changes in the coming years. I believe like any other NCAA event, organizations submit bids to be eligible so this might also take time as they become accustomed to the submissions

ACC championship was held in state last year? or was it the year before. It runs together but it was in the last couple years.

We still have to host at The Cliffs and not our University course.

I don’t know why that is, but would also be interested in the answer.

Assuming it’s because The Walker Course is lacking in certain features to qualify as being a NCAA Tournament course?

Not sure why they built The Walker Course. Just for recreational use I suppose. I heard the team doesn't even practice on that course.

Yeah, that’s immensely frustrating. It should be a course that can host NCAA events at least. Would be even better if it could host something like a Web.com event.

To be fair, when it was built, Clemson Admin was prone to thinking small. Funny how a real estate guy from Pelham, AL is ultimately responsible for changing that across all sports and academics.

Very Unfortunate

Many great designers wanted to design The Walker Course, but the university was not willing to pay the design fees the top names get. It is located on a premier piece of property and would be one of the best college courses in the country if Clemson would have paid. Now, we have an easy resort course with no hopes of ever hosting a major tournament of any kind. If they had a college tournament at Walker, the players would all shoot in the low 60's every round. You would think it is Pebble Beach by the way the staff treats customers there. Very disappointing.

I assumed this was the case. Very sad.

I think he was referring to an NCAA regional and/or championship.
