FORE! Tee time for Golden Tigers
Although ample evidence exists that some form of the sport existed in China as early as the 10th century, it was not until 1878 that the first record golf tournament occurred: at Wimbledon, England, between Cambridge and the victorious Oxford. Ironically, that same year on the other side of a water hazard known as the Atlantic Ocean, the birth of what is now Brenau University occurred.
Now, in something of a coincidental celebration of both events, Brenau will launch women’s golf as its 10th intercollegiate sport. Athletics Director Mike Lochstampfor will soon announce selection of the first head coach for the program and start recruiting players for Fall 2013.
