THE RALPH HAYES TOYOTA D2 ELITE INVITATIONAL
This week's event will be hosted by Anderson at Currahee Golf Club in Toccoa, Georgia. Due to expected rain in the area throughout Monday and Tuesday, the tournament schedule has been adjusted.
The Patriots will start the tournament on Sunday afternoon instead of playing their practice round. They will be paired together as a team and will record their first 18 hole scores. With Monday likely being a washout, the tournament will look to conclude with at least 18 more holes on Tuesday.
18 teams are schedule to tee it up in the event, with 17 of those being Division II opponents. Of those opponents, #1 Wingate, #3 Anderson, #6 UT Tyler, #7 Lee, #11 Indianapolis, #12 Nova Southeastern, #19 Lander, #22 Eckerd, and #25 West Florida make up the top 25 ranked teams in the latest edition of the Scoreboard Rankings powered by Clippd.
