I have added a Twitter Link in the right column of the blog.  This will be the best way to give updates during the round and throughout our tournaments.  You also do not need a Twitter account to read the updates.  You just have to click on the link and it will direct you to our Twitter page. 

New Indoor Facility

As we get ready for our first tournament in Phoenix we have a new indoor facility to help us work on our game.  Our Softball program has just finished a $1,000,000 facility that will allow us to have up to 8 guys hitting in the cages at one time.  It will also allow us to work on our short game with plenty of space for short game drills.  Here are a couple of pictures that I took this morning.  Thanks again to SIUE Softball!

SIUE selected to host ESPNU on January 21st against Murray State

Our home game against Murray State has been picked up by ESPNU on January 21st.  Murray, who is currently undefeated and ranked 14th in the nation, will be a tough test.  We are expecting a sold out crowd and a great atmosphere in the Vadalabene Center so tune in and cheer for the Cougars.

SIUE Men post highest team GPA in Athletic Department

Back to school for another semester and we started off the year with great news in that we have achieved the highest team GPA in the athletic department for the second consecutive semester!  Our team GPA was a 3.51 and had 4 guys make the Dean's List.  Having the highest GPA is a big goal for our team and something we strive for every semester.  Here is a link to the story:  http://www.siuecougars.com/genrel/010912aaa.html

As we get back in the swing of things we are greeted by some outstanding weather and currently am writing this when it is 51 degrees outside on January 9th!  I hope this weather can stay around for us and we can begin outside practice on February 1st.  As much time as we can get outside before our first meet would be great. During January we will still be hitting indoors but in a great new facility. Our Softball program dedicated their new $1 million dollar facility last night that has the ability to host our indoor hitting needs.  This will really help our indoor hitting needs during the winter months.

I also have started a Twitter account for the team that I think will help me update better during our rounds.  If you would like to follow us our twitter name is @siuemensgolf.
