The Missouri Southern men's golf team will open up the spring season today as the Lions travel to El Dorado, Ark. to compete in the Arkansas Collegiate, hosted by Southern Arkansas University at Mystic Creek Golf Club.
The Lions will have three events this Spring before going to Bolivar, Mo. for the lone MIAA regular-season points event a week prior to the MIAA Championships. Southern will host those MIAA Championships on March 23 and 24 at Shangri-La Country Club in Monkey Island, Okla.
The Lions will take a group of five to compete this week including: Tristan Haltom, Adam Vining, Taylor Haltom, Jeremy Dunham and Alec Dominic. Southern will be competing with teams from the Great American Conference and the GLVC that include: Southern Arkansas, Henderson State, Harding, Arkansas Tech, Missouri S&T, and Southern Nazarene.
This fall, Tristan Haltom led the Lions with a 72.5 stroke average and he was followed closely by Dunham, who finished with a 73.6 mark. Vining carted a 74.5 average, while Taylor Haltom finished at 75.9. Dominic will be playing in his first event with the Lions.
"It's good to begin play and head South to do so," said head coach Mike Wheeler. "Mystic Creek is a new course to us and I understand a very good one.
I know the boys are ready to play."
