Seriously we ARE the BLUEST Blue Blood Golf Program in the entire P5.

Why are we struggling?

We haven’t been relevant for decades but we’re gradually clawing our way back. The b12 will help.

Yes…but we easily have more National Championships than anyone else in the P5…not even close.

Historically, we are the Alabama of College Golf and we can still add to that

Santiago made the cut at The Mexico Open and is currently tied for 9th at 6 under, 5 back of the lead. Only amateur to make the cut. I’ll be watching today and tomorrow.

Nice write up on Santiago.

Need to get facilities up to date to improve recruiting. Until then nothing will change.

What are they lacking over at GCOH? It’s a shame they don’t have anything closer to campus.

Good pub

Santiago sitting at +1 thru 7. Being paired with two time winner Olazabal is really cool.

18

Finished +4 on the round. Back nine killed him bogeying 6 of the the final 8 holes. A couple good things to note are no doubles and one eagle.

19

Playing in the Masters. First round 76.

de la Fuente was featured prominently in a CBS pre-Masters show today re: Latin American up-and-coming golfers. I missed some of it but my wife said the UH program got some airtime.
He missed the cut by 4 I think
