\nMonday-Tuesday – hosted by Midwestern State – Wichita Falls CC – Wichita Falls, Texas [Live Leaderboard<\/a>]<\/p>\n
\nMonday-Tuesday – hosted by Dodge City CC – Oakwood CC – Enid, Okla. [Live Leaderboard<\/a>]<\/p>\n
\nWith Colorado School of Mines hitting its spring break, the Orediggers split up to play in two tournaments this coming week with the main squad heading to north Texas for the Midwestern State Invitational, and the developmental squad playing in the Oakwood Intercollegiate in Oklahoma. Both tournaments will take place Monday and Tuesday over 54 holes. The Midwestern State Invitational features strong regional competition including four ranked opponents in the latest GCAA poll in #9 St. Mary’s, #17 Dallas Baptist, #23 Midwestern State, and #25 UT Permian Basin. The Oakwood Intercollegiate, which Mines technically will take part in as individuals, features the region’s top juco and NAIA programs.<\/p>\n
\nMines last played in the Las Vegas Desert Classic on March 1-3, finishing ninth in a nationally-elite field. The Orediggers were led by freshman Enzo Mart\u00ednez<\/a> in T27, with Colt Tenpenny<\/a> finishing T42 and Lucas Schulte<\/a> T48. Lukas Taggart<\/a> bounced back from a tough opening round to shooting a final-round 70 for T60, and Liam Allan<\/a> ended T83.<\/p>\n
\nWichita Falls will have pleasant playing conditions Monday at a high of 74 and decreasing winds under mostly cloudy skies, opening up to highs in the upper 80s with sunshine on Tuesday. It will be similar for the Oakwood Intercollegiate in Enid, Okla, with Monday topping out at 65 under cloudy and windy skies and Tuesday a mostly sunny day with a high of 81.<\/p>\n
\nWichita Falls Country Club was completely renovated and redesigned in 2008 by D.A. Weibring and Steve Wolfard and plays 6,884 yards from the black tees at par 71. Oakwood Country Club opened in 1947 designed by Perry Maxwell (who had earlier designed renovations at Augusta National), and is also a par-71 track playing 6,885 yards from the blacks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nIn September, Mines was picked in a tie for second in the RMAC preseason coaches’ poll, tied with CSU Pueblo just behind Colorado Mesa while receiving a pair of first-place votes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nMines will take part in the Sam Proal Insurance Invitational on March 30-31 in Pueblo.
