THE COURSE:
Named for the ancestral home of the Colgate family, Seven Oaks Golf Club is nestled on the Colgate University Campus at the upper end of the Chenango Valley, in Hamilton, New York. In 1934, a young architect by the name of Robert Trent Jones was brought to Hamilton to begin work on designing the course as one of his first projects. Unfortunately, due to the great depression and WWII, the course and his plans were continuously postponed.

Jones was called back many times throughout the following years to redesign the course before a final version was accepted and it was not until 1956 that ground was broken on the first nine holes, officially opening on July 4th, 1958. Construction for the remainder of the course soon began and on September 4th, 1965 the last nine holes were opened for play.

Seven Oaks is characteristic of all Jones' courses, which include strategic deployment of water, along with extensive tee areas and large, expansive greens.

THE FIELD:
In addition to Seton Hall and host Colgate, the field includes 11 other schools: Binghamton, Bucknell, Canisius, Cornell, Holy Cross, Le Moyne, Niagara, Pennsylvania, Saint Joseph's and St. Bonaventure. Fellow BIG EAST opponent, Villanova, is also in the field.

THE FORMAT:
Teams will play five golfers and count the four lowest scores per round.

THE SCHEDULE:
The teams will play 36 continuous holes on Saturday, and one final round on Sunday. Both days will begin with a shotgun start at 9:00 a.m.

THE RESULTS:
Live scoring will be available throughout the tournament via Scoreboard.Clippd.com. Complete results of each day's events will also be available following competition at SHUpirates.com.

Nice win for the men. Alex was a nice young man and an avid junior and college golfer. Tragic death. His dad has been great for us and has kept his son’s memory alive. Peace be with the Lagowitz family.

Terrific. These guys have got it going.

 

[PhishingPirate088]

Very weak field..but good for them..I think anytime you win is a big plus congrats

Side note I think we miss out on a big opportunity in merch/sales by not selling more golf specific goods or making them available

I think it would be a good seller
