I think this is his first major network gig.

I have heard him as the lead commentator on some LPGA events.

Learned today that the reason Delaney Martin, the UH transfer, is coming to ACU is that her boyfriend is Carson Walker the OL transfer from UH. Love strikes again. Mansells, Eichelbergers.

The women's team will play this year with the 7 players we've mentioned and coach Bennett will cap the number each year to 9-10 players (6 full scholarships). He already has 3 recruits for 2024 and will lose Martin and Millwee, so he may still have 1-2 places available for 2024. Women's golf will be strong this year and even stronger next. His 3 recruits next year are all in the top 5 in Texas.

Delany Martin won the Texarkana Children Charities Open Collegiate Division this past weekend. She won the four round event by 3 strokes.

I must admit the ladies golf team sounds very strong and it would thrill me to see them become a dominate force. With three daughters myself, I root for women's sports.

I wrote this under 2023-2024 season but should have written under ladies golf. Our team is set to leave for Michigan on Friday for their 1st ever tourney. The A-Ga-Ming tourney is hosted by Eastern Michigan (starts Sunday, Sept 3) and is larger this year than last with 13 teams participating. Our team will be qualifying today and tomorrow to determine the top 5 spots (1-5 will be our team scorers) although we will take all 7 of our women to the tourney. Coach Bennett thinks we can finish high and maybe be in the mix to win this tourney. The course looks great (Sundance Course at the A-Ga-Ming Golf Resort in Kewadin, MI) and the weather looks good too (says the guy who is awaiting a storm in SC). I love Rob's enthusiasm for this team and the recruiting he has done already. I'd think seldom has a brand new team been able to compete so quickly despite the sport. This should be an exciting 1st season for Women's golf at ACU. Again, all scoring for tourneys this year will be on SpikeMark so bookmark the site and follow our teams this year. Go Cats

A really good article on ACUsports.com about the women's golf team and upcoming season. The most inexperienced Wildcat, Mattie Millwee, who hasn't played competitive golf in 3 years, spent the summer working at Abilene CC, practicing and playing. Coach Bennett told me that he really didn't know who his top 5 would be because the competition was so close. That's extremely good news. 1st tourney begins Sunday.

Looks like this is how qualifying went for our ladies. Delaney Martin will play #1. Ryann Honea will play #2. Sydney Williams will play #3. Kate Pickrell will play #4. Jiyu Han will play #5. Manon Guile and Mattie Millwee will play as individuals. Tee time begin at 9 a.m. eastern. Our ladies start on holes 1, 2, 3. 4, 17 & 18. Good luck as we kick of the beginning of a wonderful season for women's golf.

ACU now has a 4 shot lead with Sydney Williams leading at -4 and our other 4 team scores all at Even par. Most have played 7 or 8 holes. In the individual, Mattie Millwee was +4 and Manon Guile had yet to post.

At the end of 9 holes (we play 36 today) we are in 1st place by 4 shots. Our scores are: Williams -3, Honea -2, Guile -2 (her score does not count for the team), Han Even, Martin +1, Pickrell +1, Millwee +5 (her score does not count for the team).

Question, Bogey. Can the coach substitute players or do the top 5 play the entire tournament?
Edit **I just figured out that the best 4 scores count so I’m guessing no subbing.**

The subbing thing is just for NCAA post season.
With 4 holes to go in 1st round we are still at -4 with 5 shot lead. Williams -2, Honea -2, Han -1, Martin +1 and Pickrell +3.
