D.A Weibring Invitational

We just finished our practice round and a great meal at Alexander's Steakhouse!  Outstanding restaurant that I would recommend if ever in the Bloomington/Normal area.  We received our pairings and will be playing tomorrow with two instate schools, Western Illinois and Bradley.  Might be a little chilly tomorrow, but the sun will be out!  8:30 shotgun tomorrow and it sounds like we will have a good following tomorrow with family and friends who have made the trip to Normal.  I will try to update tomorrow night after our 36 holes.

D.A Weibring Invitational

After two weeks of practice, qualifying and starting our match play tournament we are playing better and are more focused on having a good week in Normal this weekend.  I do not have the pairing yet, but the field consists of Akron, Arkansas State, Bradley, Detroit Mercy, Illinois, Illinois State, Missouri State, Nebraska, Northern Illinois, Northern Iowa, Southern Illinois Carbondale, SIUE, West Florida, Western Illinois and Wisconsin.  We have our practice round on Friday and are scheduled to play 36 holes on Saturday and 18 on Sunday.  It is looking like some good weather and I know we are excited to get back on the course!  Our lineup will stay the same as Nebraska just shuffled around.

1. Taylor Cox
2. Colin McCarty

We have some experience on this golf course as we have traveled their for the past few years. This is also the same course that Mitchell Homb became a state champion almost a year ago to the date!

Nebraska Pairings

We just completed the practice round and hit the ball pretty well.  I know we are all ready to get the round underway tomorrow!  We are playing with Nebraska-Omaha and North Dakota tomorrow.  The course is in nice shape and greens are putting nice as well.  I will try to update as soon as I can tomorrow!
