NC State to Host Wolfpack Fall Intercollegiate

Golfstat Live Results | Season Stats

RALEIGH – The NC State men's golf team prepares for its first home tournament of the season, as the Wolfpack will be welcoming multiple teams and individuals to Raleigh for the 2015 Wolfpack Fall Intercollegiate on October 5-6.

THE SEASON SO FAR
Two events into the 2015-16 season, the Wolfpack is off to a strong start. NC State has posted a competitive record of 20-5-0 and is currently ranked 40th in the September 30 Golfweek college team rankings. The Wolfpack most recently finished second among 15 teams at the Golfweek Conference Challenge in Burlington, Iowa, and has seen very strong play from freshman Davis Richards (two top-six finishes) and others.

THE COURSE
Known as an excellent and challenging course on the NCAA golf circuit, Lonnie Poole Golf Course hosted the 2014 NCAA Men's Regional and the 2015 NCAA Women's Regional and will be home to the 2018 NCAA Men's Regional. Located on 250 acres inside the city of Raleigh, the golf course routing is dictated by large elevation changes. It meanders around large buffer areas that were left in place to protect streams and wetlands in the Neuse River watershed. The buffer provides a protected habitat for wildlife and native plant species. Erik Larsen and Brandon Johnson, both graduates of the NC State College of Design, were the lead architects.

For the purposes of the Wolfpack Spring Open, the golf course will play a par of 71 over 7,358 yards.

Davis Richards – Two collegiate tournaments, two top-six finishes (freshman)
