Any clue who it is? It's pretty cool that a kid from a warm weather state is coming up north to play a warm weather sport. Isn't Hobbs supposed to be fundraising for new golf facilities soon?

I think they already have the plans set to go. When I was at Rutgers the golf coach had no idea how to play golf just another example of a joke athletic department

Not uncommon to see many of the players better than their golf coaches, especially in high school.I think they already have the plans set to go. When I was at Rutgers the golf coach had no idea how to play golf just another example of a joke athletic department
No I believe it’s just the facilities across the street. Not sure you can do much to the course itselfDoes this mean the Rutgers golf course will get a face lift
It’s an awfully easy course. I played Rutgers three days ago and Neshanic valley yesterday. I shot 8 strokes better at Rutgers.
I would imagine a course where a scrub like me can break 90 doesn’t put us in play to host BIG10 championship, etc.
I would love a newer nicer course to play on.

Yeah you are right about that but I am not actually sure who owns or runs the course I know Rutgers owns the land but I don’t think they are involved in the operations of the course and that would be a pretty expensive undertakingNo I believe it’s just the facilities across the street.

Deepen the bunkers for starters.
Convert the false fronts into traps.
Put bunkers in the middle of the fairway. They are short holes. Force some thought into shot making.
Lots of things you can do to make a course harder without lengthening it.
Either way, glad to see the driving range get a face lift. Golf for us northerners is tough.

Not like I'm a good golfer, but in the words of Hank Haney, "there ARE NO easy holes."
Obviously, if there aren't easy holes, there aren't easy golf courses.
You're asking an Iowan that question? :smiley:That being said, are we as a cold weather area just resigned to being the afterthought school?
Northern Iowa, a DI golf program, does not have a campus course, nor a clubhouse, outside of the public clubhouse that it is.Some cold weather schools, I think Illinois is one, have fantastic semi-outdoor practice facilities. Tons of money goes into those programs. I don’t think a lot of schools have a course on campus so that’s a plus for RU, but they need a club house for the team and could make some improvements such as cited above by banjo. I hope I never see the day when the administration decides to convert it to buildings, which periodically gets brought up (but I’m not sure by whom.)
