Oglethorpe Places First in Coaches’ Preseason Golf Poll

The Golf World/Nike Golf Division III College Preseason Coaches’ Poll has been released, combining the resources of Golf World magazine, Nike Golf and the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA). The complete results, including those from Divisions I, II, NAIA and NJCAA will appear in the September 3, 2012 issue of Golf World and are live now.

Oglethorpe once again has been named “the team to beat” in Division III as the 2012-13 college season begins. The Stormy Petrels garnered 12 of the 16 available first-place votes to grab the No. 1 ranking in the Golf World/Nike Golf D-III preseason men’s coaches’ poll. Oglethorpe comes off a season in which it won the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference championship along with the national title.

This prestigious poll ranking gives the Petrels further reason to celebrate, as the team members and their coach, Jim Owen, have recently received numerous other accolades.
