The Virginia Men’s Golf team kicks off their 2018-19 season campaign this weekend as the Hoos head to Rocky Face, Georgia to take part in the Carpet Capital Collegiate. Back in 2016, the Hoos won the Carpet Capital Collegiate, led by Derek Bard and Thomas Walsh, both of whom finished in the top six of the event. Virginia, which received votes in the preseason GCAA coaches poll, is coming off of a season where they finished just two strokes short of making the NCAA Championships.
“It was a bit of a growing season for us,” Virginia head coach Bowen Sargent said of their 2017-18 season in a phone interview.
