Spring 2009 Hawks
January 28, 2009 - The Hawks men's golf team is back at practice and gearing up for a challenging spring schedule that includes trips to the coast of South Carolina, to Tennessee, North Carolina and Alabama. Several NCAA Division I teams are scheduled to play in events that we are attending so the competition will be as stiff as any we've faced.
Three of the top five scorers from the fall are back and we look foward to competing for the Region X and District V championship in April that is being held at Terri Pines Golf Club, which is a part of The Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail in Alabama. Seniors Nick Williams and Brett Wyman will lead the way and will be supported by freshmen Richard Allen, George Frederick, Jamie Daniel, Matt Bryan and Zack Walden.
Hawks Finish Fall Season
Oct. 17, 2008 - The TCTC Hawks golf team finished up the fall season by finishing eighth out of thirteen teams at the Coker College Invitational. The Hawks had two top five finishes in tournamnet play this fall and scores were excellent. The team was lead by freshman John Henderson who had a stroke average of 74.9 for 18 competitive rounds played. He was followed by sophomore Nick Williams with 75.8, sophomore Brett Wyman with 77.4, freshman Richard Allen with 78.7 and freshman Brent Abercrombie with 79.3. There were several other players who had an excellent fall season as well and the competition for playing time looks very close for the upcoming spring season. Playing against four year scholarship teams in tournaments can be tough, but of the 2 year programs that competed in the same tournaments, the Hawks were topped by only two of those programs. In stroke average, TCTC is third in the region behind Cape Fear CC and Spartanburg Methodist College. We look foward to spring season with the NJCAA Region X and District tournaments on the schedule that will show how our tough fall schedule has prepared the team to compete with other NJCAA level colleges.
