It also hosts the Jack Nicklaus Memorial Tournament for the PGA Tour annually. The course is par 72 and 7,221 yards long.

Brian        deBuhr has been playing great as of late and if he keeps it up will have a        chance to make all-conference. We need to have our whole team have some consistency every        round rather than just a couple individuals."
