Week 6 action in the NCCGA saw another Midwest region tournament postponed due to weather, and many other regions had their tournaments shortened to 1-day events. The Colonial region's Liberty had a bounce back win from their poor play in their previous tournament. JMU and Virginia Tech both had decent team showings, finishing 5 and 6 strokes behind Liberty. Liberty was led by Brady Roberts, who fired a 76-74 to be the tournament medalist.

Week 5 Recap:
This past weekend saw cold temperatures and rough weather pretty much all around the NCCGA, and some tournaments were postponed another week. In Texas, #9 Golf Academy of America - Dallas pulled out the win with a 744. Tournament medalist, Taylor Johnson (GAA – Dallas) showed that he was not affected by the 40-degree temps with wind and rain Saturday and fired a 73-68 (-1) to run away with the win. #3 Texas put up a solid tournament with a 755, who benefited from the return of their #1 player from last season, Campbell Ross. #6 Baylor was hurt by the absence of club president, Teddy Rettinger who played B team due to a hand injury. His status for the National Championship is Probable. Texas A&M also put together a decent 2-day score at their home course to throw their name in the top 25 mix.

Week 4 Recap:

Week 2 Recap: 

The top 5 teams in the preseason poll were all in action this past weekend. The number one team Arizona State won their first regional over rival #3 Grand Canyon by 3 strokes in a classic battle at Ken McDonald Golf Course backed by TJ Kathrineberg shooting a stellar 70-65 (-9) to lead his team to victory. In the Texas region #8 Texas pulled out a Sunday charge to beat #5 Baylor by 3 strokes. Texas was supported by club president Travis Ola firing a 69-70 (-1) in the very wet conditions to be the tournament medalist. In Florida, the #2 University of Florida took care of business while also showing depth with two B team players finishing as all-tournament team players. The biggest surprise of the weekend was the shocking play on Sunday by Southern Methodist posting a 367 (+17) to finish 4th in a very loaded Texas region. Look for Southern Methodist to try and contend in their second regional on April 7th and 8th at the Texas A&M campus course.

Prefacing the inaugural Club President Poll:
Similar to the "Coaches Poll" in the NCAA, we have conducted the first ever Club Presidents Poll for the NCCGA. The CP Poll was created to bring more interaction between clubs, provide a crowdsourced ranking system and stir up some 'friendly' banter. The rankings are based on total program strength (so B teams strength are incorporated into the A teams in the poll). The Presidents who participate in the vote will submit a ballot either weekly or in strategic intervals based on the amount of tournaments on a given weekend.
