Crash Course – Golf Looks Forward To A New Home At Finley

Carolina's men's golf team joins 29 other squads this weekend in the NCAA Men's Golf Championship at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Ariz. The five golfers representing Arizona State have been honing their games in the Thunderbird Golf Complex (underwritten in part by Sun Devil alumnus Phil Mickelson), which among many bells and whistles has a putting green with areas sloped at one, two, three and four percent. Florida State's players have been dialing in their short games on a 12-hole short course designed by Jack Nicklaus (whose grandson was a star tight end on the Seminole football team). Vanderbilt's players have had access to 36 holes at the Vanderbilt's Legends Club and a 21-acre practice facility with a bent grass putting green and two Mini-Verde chipping greens. And to work off some late night competitive steam, the Commodores can repair after golf to a team facility for some fiery ping-pong matches.
