Nate McCoy makes it to the NCAA Tournament!

For the first time since the Regional format was implemented in 1989, Nate McCoy becomes the first Cyclone to play in the NCAA Championships. It maybe have taken McCoy four years to accomplish his goal, but he did it! His professional career will have to be put on hold. McCoy fired a 212 (73-68-71) to finish in seventh place. They take the top 5 teams and the first individual that is not on a team going already to the NCAA Championships.

McCoy is on pace to break the school's single-season scoring mark, produced eight top-10 performances and won two tournaments this season. McCoy expresses his excitement to go to LA and play on such a great  course. The tournament will be held May 29-June 3 at the Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, Calif.

The team finished tied for 9th and only 10 shots back of the final team qualifier, Memphis.

Good luck to Nate and we wish you the best of luck from ISU! Go Cyclones!!!

Happy Mother's Day!!!!

All you mothers, sons, daughters, husbands....EVERYONE!!!!  Bring a mom golfing on Sunday May 13th and she'll get complimentary green fees as long as she's playing with at least one paying famly member! 

I can't think of a better way to spend a Mother's Day than playing golf with the people who love mom the most, her family!  As crazy as this sounds, it's true, some moms are not golfers.  WHAT???  and some moms may not appreciate this.  However, for those moms that are golfers, used to be a golfer or would like to be a golfer, this is your day!!!

What ever you do on Sunday, enjoy the day, send lots of love, however you can to your mom and and any other moms you know!

Fore,
George
