Where college students go for golf

They say the odds of an amateur making a hole in one are 12,500 to 1. But what are the odds of two teammates making aces on the same hole during an NCCGA regional tournament? Pretty high if you play for the club golf team at Mizzou.

The NCCGA will have 15 regions competing this weekend all across the country. Here's a look at each region, the favorites, the new teams, and a little more information into who might take home the hardware. Teams are competing for the chance to qualify for the Fall 2015 National Championship at TPC San Antonio.

Last Spring was the first season for the Indiana Region. The region includes all of the Indiana NCCGA teams who previously competed against Illinois teams in the Great Lakes Region. Purdue, the Fall 2014 Great Lakes champions, will look to continue their domination of the area in the new Indiana Region.

The North Region will have a different feel to it this Fall season. The University of Wisconsin-Madison club golf team has traditionally dominated the region since its inception in 2014. However, UW-Madison will have a brand new team 8-man club this fall, and will begin the season with a target on their backs as 8 other schools look to dethrone them as Regional Champions.

As the 2015-16 NCCGA tournament season is set to begin, the Florida region continues to experience incredible growth. With staple clubs like the defending national champion Florida Club Golf, and founding clubs Florida State, Keiser and UCF anchoring the region, Florida received a bit of a remodel this season.

The Texas Region is one of the most competitive regions in the nation. Along with the 8 competing teams, there are also individuals who travel from all over the state to compete. These individuals represent Abilene Christian University, Lone Star College System, Tarleton State.

This looks to be our biggest year yet in the Northern New England Region. Unfortunately, last spring due to weather, only one tournament was held. This took place at Blissful Meadows in Uxbridge, MA. Five teams entered in this single spring tournament, where the winner would move on to the National Championship.

The Southeast Region is gearing up for an exciting weekend in Calabash, NC at Farmstead Golf Links and Meadowlands Golf Club, two sister courses that wind along the North Carolina/South Carolina border.

The Colonial Region of the NCCGA has consistently beene one of the more competitive club golf regions in the country. This was on display last semester as three teams qualified for the Spring 2015 National Championship at Bryan Park (Virginia Tech, Virginia, and James Madison).

Yes, sports fans, it’s Game Week.

The people have spoken, and with the season now less than 3 weeks away we are officially launching the #ClubGolf contest for the Fall 2015 season. We want everyone sharing what #clubgolf means to them and their club golf team. This means tweets, Facebook posts, Instagram pictures, and blog articles from regional tournaments, tryouts, team dinners, practices, trash talk, and anything in between. Did your club just receive new golf bags that are better than everyone else's bags? Let us know and throw #clubgolf at the end.

The summer is winding down, and as schools around the country start back up so too does the Fall 2015 NCCGA season. Club teams across the country have been working hard and preparing for regionals, playing for an invitation to TPC San Antonio. 28 regions, and more than 250 teams, across the country will be vying for 29 spots (30 if you count Florida's automatic invitation) at NCCGA Fall Nationals. With the new season beginning next weekend, it's time to unveil the preseason Top 25 college golf rankings.

Club Presidents encounter many challenges during their time starting and maintaining a club golf team. One of those issues is recruiting. How do I find students that want to be in club? We hear from a lot of students, typically during the summer after graduation, that need some help finding students to be in the club.

As the former president of the University of Florida Club Golf team, I wanted to share my tips on how to effectively recruit students and spread awareness of the club throughout campus. These tips should not only help you find plenty of college golf club team members, but can set you on your way to developing a more competitive roster. This is the part of series of tips intended to help NCCGA students run their clubs. Let me know if you want to see me tackle a specific issue.

When I was informed that the NCCGA was creating a new position within its Student Leader hierarchy, Director of Women’s Golf, I was excited about the opening of a new professional opportunity. Most of all, I was thankful that female golfers would have an opportunity to be recognized and heard within a wonderful organization.

There are many ways your club golf team can get a head start before the season begins. Why wait to recruit and fundraise when you can start now? Here are 4 ways your club golf team can be better than last year and get a leg up on your competition. Is there anything your club does that's not on the list? Make sure you share it with the rest of the country by sending it out on Twitter, or sending an e-mail to myself or your zone manager. We love when clubs share best practices.
