My Penn-State Behrend men's golf team was fairly dominant in winning the 2020 AMCC Championship yesterday at Peek 'n Peak Resort's golf course.

Behrend "hosted" the event this year, so I set the course up at about 6715 yards, and the conditions were a bit cold, a bit windy, but otherwise decent for early spring.

We had three players in the top eight, including the individual champion Ryan Meyer (75, 74) and third-place Alex Pol (81, 77). My team shot 320 (75, 81, 81, 83) and 312 (74, 77, 79, 82) for a two-day total of 632 and the best team score each day. Ryan won by seven, and we won by 20 as a team.

With the win, Behrend wins our conference's Automatic Qualifier spot at NCAA Nationals on May 11-14 at Oglebay Resort in West Virginia.

Behrend has now won the AMCC Championship ten times: 2004, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2020. I have been the coach since 2015, and we set a conference record score of 588 in 2017 with four of the top five individual finishers.

Yeah, I always feel weird in these situations. I put in a lot of work to help them improve, prepare, etc. I coach them during the round.

But ultimately I hit none of our 632 shots, and they all did. So… virtually all credit to them.

That’s good coaching and I’m sure they appreciate it.

No, just right next to the 6'5" player. 😛

And the other is 6'3" or 4".

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 4 (24 Jun 26) - Played the mid-week shootout - iffy day on putts as I had 35 and of late been in the upper 20's.   Greens recently verti-cut and they are a bit bump and long haired - no excuses as I need to learn to trust making the proper adjustments.   Overall a decent day with some solid long game shots.

      Phil Mickelson Booted out of Farms Golf Club

      By Shindig · Posted

      While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).

      Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.
