"It was a great summer for our guys," said head coach Jack Kennedy.  "We had guys competing on the PGA tour, we had guys competing in the US Am, winning European team championships, playing at a really high level all summer.  It was really exciting to get them back on campus and get the fall under way.  We had a really intense two weeks of qualifying for this first event and I'm really excited to get this season under way."
 
The Course
The Carpet Capital Collegiate is played at The Farm Golf Club, the 6,896-yard, par-72 course designed by Tom Fazio, located in Rocky Face, Ga., just outside the city of Dalton in Northwest Georgia.

"The biggest thing we try to do with our schedule every year is to try and get guys prepared to play in the NCAA Regionals," said Kennedy.  "This weekend, is literally an NCAA Regional with schools from the SEC, ACC and teams we don't normally see.  It's a great way to measure ourselves early in the season and see where we really stand."
