Nine Bulldogs to Play in Stadion Classic at UGA

The Tee-Off Club Village located on hole #17

There will be a total of nine Bulldogs in the field this week at the Stadion Classic at UGA.  Seven of those nine are returning to what was their home course while they were in school here in Athens, while the other two will be taking a study break from finals and competing against the professionals as amateurs.

Freshman Nick Reach and Sophomore Brian Carter are the two current members of the UGA Golf Team who received sponsors exemptions to compete in the tournament.

The Augusta Chronicle featured Brian Carter in an article about earning a spot in the Stadion Classic.  Read the article here:
