M. Golf: Pinetree Intercollegiate Preview

The FGCU men's golf team prepare for their next fall tournament as they head to the Pinetree Country Club in Kennesaw, Georgia to compete in the Pinetree Intercollegiate, hosted by A-SUN member Kennesaw State.

"We're looking forward to returning to this event," FGCU head coach Eric Booker said. "Pinetree Country Club has a northern feel to it with fast greens and doglegs similar to the Hattiesburg Country Club that we played a few weeks ago. The weather should be cooler, so it will be a nice break from Southwest Florida temperatures."

Last Time Out:
The Eagles competed in the Sam Hall Intercollegiate, hosted by Southern Miss. The Eagles fifth out of 13 teams.

Booker will be utilizing the following lineup beginning Monday:
 1. Andrew Potter
2. Tate Heintzelman
3. Chase Bigham
4. Cole Castro
5. Brent Fredericksen
