From the cold winter and practicing indoors to the weekend of practicing before Nationals. “When I took over this club a year ago it was mostly recreational and Nationals wasn’t really even on the radar." Ostdiek said. "I decided that I wanted the team to be competitive and all share the goal of making it to Nationals.” After hearing about Bobby Frazzini and Alex Beversdorf’s experience in Disney last year for the Fall 2016 [NCCGA National Championship](https://nextgengolf.org/college-golf/nccga/spring-2017-nccga-national-championship-at-hot-springs/) (both qualified as individuals), Ostdiek decided that Nationals needed to be the team goal for this spring.

For a team in the Twin Cities region in the spring, conventional wisdom has always said that it is a lot tougher for northern, cold climate teams to do well in the spring. For Ostdiek however, the cold weather and going to school in Minnesota was in no way getting in the way of making it to Hot Springs. ![beversdorf and frazzini nccga fall nationals.jpg](https://blog.nextgengolf.org/hs-fs/hubfs/beversdorf%20and%20frazzini%20nccga%20fall%20nationals.jpg?width=320&name=beversdorf%20and%20frazzini%20nccga%20fall%20nationals.jpg)The team practiced indoors and got prepared for the season the best they knew how. The result was two regional tournament victories by an average of 15.5 strokes, and dethroning the Iowa-Iowa State power duo that had previously run the region. The challenges of the weather weren’t the only thing that was tough for the team, however. Funding is always a challenge for many club teams and unfortunately for Twin Cities, they are not immune to that problem. “We would not be able to do what we are doing without the support of all that donated to the team. We wanted to thank everyone that did so, the team appreciates it tremendously.” said Ostdiek. Ostdiek had great praise for the supporters of the team that helped them get to this point. He also mentioned how the team could not be more appreciative of not just the donors, but also NCCGA sponsors like Srixon and Cleveland Golf. ### Subscribe to stay up to date Previous article [Liberty Club Golf Excited for Chance to Compete on National Stage](https://blog.nextgengolf.org/college-golf/liberty-club-golf-excited-for-national-stage) Next article [Texas State's Patience Paid Off with NCCGA National Championship Bid](https://blog.nextgengolf.org/college-golf/texas-state-patience-paid-off-nccga-national-championship-bid) --- ### Popular Posts Topics: [NCCGA National Championship](https://blog.nextgengolf.org/college-golf/topic/nccga-national-championship) National Partners ![Srixon](https://nextgengolf.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/srixon_logo_md.png) ![Cleveland](https://nextgengolf.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/cleveland_logo_md.png) - [About](https://nextgengolf.org/about-us/) - [Our Story](https://nextgengolf.org/about-us/) - [Golf Jobs Board](https://nextgengolf.org/job-board/) - [Press](https://nextgengolf.org/press/) - [Sponsors](https://nextgengolf.org/nextgengolf-sponsors/) - [Private Policy](https://nextgengolf.org/privacy-policy/) - [Terms of Use](https://nextgengolf.org/terms-of-use/) - [Tournaments](https://nextgengolf.org/app/find-golf-tournaments) - [College Rankings](https://nextgengolf.org/app/golf-tournaments/team-rankings/62-spring-2020) - [NCCGA National Championship](https://nextgengolf.org/fall-2020-national-championship/) - [College Tournaments](https://nextgengolf.org/app/golf-tournaments/schedule/fall-2020) - [Tournaments for 21+ golfers](https://nextgengolf.org/city-tour/) - [City Tour Championship](https://nextgengolf.org/2020-city-tour-championship-kiawah-island-resort/) - [High School Tournaments](https://www.highschoolgolf.org/) - [Golfer Resources](https://nextgengolf.org/blog/) - [Golf Equipment deals](https://nextgengolf.org/golf-equipment-deals-nextgengolf-members/) - [Golf Stories](https://blog.nextgengolf.org/) - [Find Indoor Golf Facilities](https://nextgengolf.org/app/find-indoor-golf-facilities) - [Find Driving Ranges](https://nextgengolf.org/app/find-driving-ranges) - [Find Golf Discounts](https://nextgengolf.org/best-golf-discounts-in-each-state/) - [Get a Golf Handicap](https://nextgengolf.org/where-to-get-a-golf-handicap/) - [Golf Industry Resources](https://nextgengolf.org/golf-course-owners/) - [PGA Pro Recognition](https://nextgengolf.org/pga-professional-recognition/) - [Host an NCCGA Tournament](https://nextgengolf.org/host-an-nccga-tournament/) - [Host a City Tour Tournament](https://nextgengolf.org/host-a-city-tour-tournament/) - [Marketing Guides](https://nextgengolf.org/golf-course-marketing-guides/) - [Tournament Volunteering](https://nextgengolf.org/nccga-tournament-volunteering/) - [Becoming a Sponsor](https://nextgengolf.org/sponsorship-for-millennial-golf/) ![nextgengolf-white-logo.png](https://nextgengolf.org/wp-content/themes/theme46788/images/nextgengolf-white-logo.png "nextgengolf-white-logo.png") 55 Court St, 5th Floor, Boston, MA 02108 ![bullet](https://blog.nextgengolf.org/hubfs/Images/orange-bullet.png) (617) 453-8732 ![bullet](https://blog.nextgengolf.org/hubfs/Images/orange-bullet.png) info@nextgengolf.org [![Instagram](https://blog.nextgengolf.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Images/instagram.png?width=42&name=instagram.png "Instagram")](http://instagram.com/nextgengolfclub) [![LinkedIn](https://blog.nextgengolf.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Images/linkedin.png?width=42&name=linkedin.png "LinkedIn")](https://www.linkedin.com/company/nextgengolf-inc) [![Facebook](https://blog.nextgengolf.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Images/facebook.png?width=42&name=facebook.png "Facebook")](https://www.facebook.com/nextgengolfclub) [![Twitter](https://blog.nextgengolf.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Images/twitter.png?width=42&name=twitter.png "Twitter")](https://twitter.com/nextgolfer) 55 Court St, 5th Floor Boston, MA 02203 (617) 453-8732 info@nextgengolf.org [![Instagram](https://blog.nextgengolf.org/hubfs/Images/instagram.png)](http://instagram.com/nextgengolfclub) [![LinkedIn](https://blog.nextgengolf.org/hubfs/Images/linkedin.png)](https://www.linkedin.com/company/nextgengolf-inc) [![Facebook](https://blog.nextgengolf.org/hubfs/Images/facebook.png)](https://www.facebook.com/nextgengolfclub) [![Twitter](https://blog.nextgengolf.org/hubfs/Images/twitter.png)](https://twitter.com/nextgolfer) [![Facebook](https://blog.nextgengolf.org/hubfs/Images/facebook.png)](https://www.facebook.com/nextgengolfclub) [![Twitter](https://blog.nextgengolf.org/hubfs/Images/twitter.png)](https://twitter.com/nextgolfer) [![Instagram](https://blog.nextgengolf.org/hubfs/Images/instagram.png)](http://instagram.com/nextgengolfclub) [![LinkedIn](https://blog.nextgengolf.org/hubfs/Images/linkedin.png)](https://www.linkedin.com/company/nextgengolf-inc)
