Annual Trip to Bethpage on Weekend's Slate for Men's Golf
September 16, 2010 | Men's Golf
PRINCETON -- For the 11th time in the last 17 fall seasons, the Princeton men's golf team will head to Bethpage State Park in Farmingdale, N.Y., to compete in the McLaughlin Invitational hosted by St. John's.
The Tigers began participating in the event in 1994. Held on the Red Course, the McLaughlin is played at the same facility that hosted the 2002 and 2009 U.S. Open championships on the Black Course. Princeton's high finish in the event was in 2002, when the Tigers took second place.
This year's tournament will feature 15 teams including a pair of Ivy League rivals in Dartmouth and Harvard along with Hofstra, Iona, IUPUI, Johnson & Wales, Loyola (Md.), Rutgers, Sacred Heart, St. John's, St. Thomas, Temple, Villanova and West Florida. It will be the second straight week Princeton and Harvard will play the same Long Island course, with the two teams and Yale playing a match-play event in Southampton, N.Y. last Sunday.
The par-70, 6,734-yard Red Course will see two rounds played Friday beginning at 8:30 a.m. and one round Saturday starting at 7:30 a.m.
Last week in the tri-meet with Harvard and Yale, Princeton's lineup included all five of its returners, Patrick Wasserman, Chase Lovett-Woodsum, Eric Salazar, Bernie D'Amato and Evan Harmeling. Two freshmen, Taylor Peck and Greg Jarmas, join the Tigers this year, complementing a roster that includes a 2010 All-Ivy honoree in D'Amato and a 2009-All-Ivy performer in Salazar.
