What a shame that Louisiana and Squire Creek can't produce a golfer worthy of a scholarship at EllAyeTech.
North Louisiana has produced several golfers worthy of a scholarship at Tech. Unfortunately, they've been some of the top juniors in the world and have elected to go to LSU instead of staying home in North Louisiana. Tech golf is in the same position that Tech basketball has been in. The kids that want to come play golf in-state aren't quite good enough, and the ones we want to get have bigger offers.Quote:

The 2022 class should be talent rich for Tech in North LA.
We have a kid in Alexandria that has Tech written all over him - great kid, loves golf and hungry for a D1 chance.
We just got a verbal from a top player from Alabama. That gives us a 19 commit and a 20 verbal from a top ten junior golf state.
I say that is good work so far. We will make inroads in state at some point soon.

Will have a full driving range and outdoor putting area.
Once finished, the facility will be 2nd or 3rd best facility in the stage with only the 265 facility ahead of it and possibly the LSU facility.
ULM is going what most P5 schools have or are doing - building an on campus facility for their student athletes...and not at the mercy of host clubs for practice facilities and tee times.
The Patel kid from Central LA.
Why is anyone or LA putting money into a second rate JUCO?
That's exactly what I was wondering. ULM is like the rattle snake that just won't die, no matter how many times you hit it with a stick. :laugh:Quote:

Tech had the early lead against ULM in Monroe this afternoon but ULM was making a push at the end. Could not stay to watch but it sounded like Tech needed a couple more under par rounds to keep pace.
Both teams have some high quality international players.
