Men's Golf Heads to Green Mountain State for First Fall Tournament
September 25, 2014 | Men's Golf
The state of Vermont will host the Princeton men's golf team this weekend as the Tigers play their first fall tournament at the Quechee Club Invitational.
Princeton and tournament host Dartmouth will join fellow Ivy programs, Brown, Cornell, Harvard and Penn along with Connecticut, Hartford and Temple for 36 holes beginning at 9:30 a.m. Saturday and Sunday.
The Quechee Club features two courses, with the Lakeland Course hosting Saturday's play and the Highland Course used Sunday. Both courses carry a par of 72 with a top distance of 6,840 on the Highland Course and 6,671 on the Lakeland.
Though Princeton opened the fall on Sept. 7 with a dual match against Texas A&M at Baltusrol Golf Club, this weekend will serve as the team's first full multi-team tournament of the fall. The Tigers will have two more before wrapping the fall, heading to the Yale-hosted MacDonald Cup next weekend and out to California for the Berkeley-hosted Alister MacKenzie Invitational the following weekend.
Princeton's five will have at least two changes from its last multi-team tournament, the Ivy League Championship also held at Baltusrol last April, with Greg Jarmas '14 and Nick Ricci '14 having graduated. The Tigers added three freshmen - Michael Davis, Marc Hedrick and Eric Mitchell - to join five returners including sophomores Jason Chen and Alex Dombrowski, junior Matt Gerber and seniors Joseph D'Amato and Jason Zhou. Gerber, Dombrowski and Chen are the returners from the team the Tigers fielded for the Ivy meet last spring.
