Conference realignment has been a big talking point within the bigger college sports over the past few years. Hello, football and basketball.

Here’s some odd realignment news that’s reached men’s and women’s college golf.

On Thursday, the West Coast Conference announced that the two Augusta University golf programs will join their conference as affiliate members, leaving the Southland Conference. Yes, a school from Georgia is joining a league with teams from California, Washington and Oregon. It is effective immediately.

“This is a great day for Augusta golf,” the university’s director of athletics Ryan Erlacher said. “The West Coast Conference has an excellent reputation and will provide a wonderful new home for our golf programs. They’ve been beyond impressive to work with and we are grateful to their leadership for this tremendous opportunity. We look forward to representing the WCC exceedingly well for years to come.”

We are excited to announce the addition of @ucdavismwp, @ucdavisbeachvb and @AugustaJags men’s and women’s golf to the West Coast Conference as affiliate members.

The men’s golf team won the Southland Conference team title the past three years and finished 28th in the NCAA Championship in May. Augusta junior Bo Blanchard was the individual winner of the conference tournament. They will now be part of a 12-team league this fall, joining Gonzaga, Loyola Marymount, Pacific, Pepperdine, Saint Mary’s, San Diego, San Francisco, Santa Clara, Seattle and fellow affiliate members Oregon State and Washington State. The Jaguars won the NCAA Championship in both 2010 and 2011.

The Augusta women’s team was fourth at the Southland Conference this year and sophomore Zoe Pinillos advanced to the regionals as an individual. They will be the eighth women’s golf team in the West Coast Conference, joining Gonzaga, Pepperdine, San Francisco, Santa Clara, Seattle and affiliate members Oregon State and Washington State.
