A Quick Look at the schedule on the website shows this semester has been awful. Finishes of 12th, 14th,18th and 13th.

Don’t let last years championship cloud your judgement. It was a great week where the guys caught lightning in a bottle. But let’s look at the results all year: 7th, 13th, 3rd, 4th, 4th, 13th, 12th, 12th, 5th, 15th, 17th, loss to USA and New Orleans in a head to head match, then won the Sunbelt Championship. During the greatest year in his tenure as coach UL lost to such powerhouses as: Stetson, Delaware, Towson, George Mason, Lipscomb, North Alabama, Davidson, Abliene Christian, Texas Arlington, Kansas City and New Orleans. Better results should be expected with the resources being exhausted on the program.

Appreciate the research and review

What resources? Please tell me the resources UL invests in golf other than what Theo has to get himself?

I agree the results this spring aren’t what they should be, particularly at your home tournament. And there honestly haven’t been a lot of quality teams in a while under this program.

But tell me what UL does to be serious about this program. This is a different situation than basketball.

They gave him a pretty nice practice setup at Oakbourne.

Who’s “they”? UL? You think UL said here’s a ton of money for a program that doesn’t generate revenue?

Probably an individual.

I don't know the logistics of how this works or worked out, but a few years ago the Golf Program donated a car to one of its biggest fans.

Seems backwards but he must have been special. (I will see if I can find the link.)

The practice facility was donated by a generous individual. It is immediately to the left as you enter the gate. It is state of the art and a very nice facility. I designed several components of the facility. I think Oakbourne can use the facility when the golf team is not using it (not 100% on that though).

Just saying golf operates a little differently.

UL built it, yes.
