INDIANAPOLIS - The Purdue Fort Wayne men's golf team returns to action after three weeks off, when the Mastodons participate in the Butler Spring Invitational April 1 & 2.
Event: Butler Spring Invitational
Host: Butler
When: April 1 & 2 (2 p.m. shotgun Monday and 9 a.m. shotgun Tuesday)
Where: Highland Golf & Country Club | Indianapolis, Indiana
Par: 70
Yardage: 6,551
Format: 36 holes with 18 holes on Monday and Tuesday
COMPETING TEAMS
Purdue Fort Wayne will compete against six other teams. The Mastodons and host Bulldogs will be joined by: Valparaiso, IUPUI, Oakland, Detroit Mercy, and Ohio. Ball State will also have individuals competing.
THE COURSE
The golf course was designed by Willie Park Jr. and Bill Diddel that perpetuates this enjoyment of the game for each generation. Designing a brutally hard golf course is a trivial exercise. The secret to great design is to build a golf course that is fun to play for all types of players yet presents a challenge to players of all skill levels. Highland has such a golf course. It is a golf course where many children have first learned the game, yet it is a test sufficient enough that it has twice hosted the Indiana Amateur. The wide variety of swings one can observe on the first tee speaks volumes to how many people consider Highland a great place for the game.
MASTODON LINEUP
Zach Schroeder, Callahan Elzey, Parker Deakyne, Eric Brinker and Zac Turi. Clark Tiller, Luke Miller, Cody White, Josh Keating, and Jake Kennedy will play as individuals.
