NEWTON, Kan. - The Fort Wayne men's golf team enters the Summit League Championship taking place April 30-May 1. The Mastodons look to improve upon their fourth place finish a year ago.
Event: Summit League Championship
When: April 30-May 1
Tee Times: 9 a.m. ET each round off the No. 1 tee
Where: Newton, Kansas | Sand Creek Station Golf Club
Par: 72
Yardage: 6,733
Format: 54-hole stroke play | 18 holes each day
Live Scoring: GolfStat Live Scoring
COMPETING TEAMS
Fort Wayne will compete against eight other teams. The Mastodons will be joined by: Denver, IUPUI, North Dakota State, Omaha, Oral Roberts, South Dakota, South Dakota State and Western Illinois.
THE COURSE
The course plays on the town's railroad history, and many holes are, as they say in Scotland, "hard by the cinders," continuing a century's old tradition of golf bordering railways. We have also recreated the famous Road Hole green on our 16th Hole, which once sat adjacent to a railway. Another replicates the famous "Redan" from North Berwick, Scotland. Other holes have characteristics of early American holes, which also fronted railways at one time. The 12th hole for example, is similar to the fourth at the National Golf Links of America, one of our early classics. The ninth features a small platform green; typical of early American courses while the green on the par 5 fourth has some wild contours, seldom built these days.
Despite playing on these old style characteristics, the course is thoroughly modern in other ways. The 10th is a long par 5 requiring negotiation of water on all three shots. The 18th is a long par 4 requiring a tee shot to a narrow fairway between flanking fairway bunkers. On the front nine, the long sixth may be the toughest hole.
