Pine Mountain, Ga.- The Scots opened their spring season in Pine Mountain, Georgia playing in the Callaway Invitational which is played at the past PGA tour stop, Callaway Gardens. Senior Trevor Potts started his spring season with a solid 74 and found himself in 8th place after round 1. The course was soft and played very long, a good match for the long hitting Potts. However, the rest of the Covenant squad struggled and yielded its worse team score this year at 328 in the first round.
The second round that was scheduled for Tuesday was moved up to Monday afternoon in an attempt to avoid the pending inclement weather. The 15 team field completed 12 to 14 holes of the next 18 on Monday evening leaving players anywhere from 4 to 6 holes remaining on Tuesday. The 85 players sledged around in the rain on Tuesday morning and completed their round, much to the dismay of most golfers. The Scots finished the second round with a discouraging 344. "It is hard to imagine that we would shoot that high", said coach Schreiner. "We have had the coldest winter since I became coach and I knew our guys weren't prepared for tournament golf, but I really didn't think these scores were even a possibility."
The Scots will have a chance to redeem themselves at the Orchard Golf Club in Clarkesville, GA this coming Monday and Tuesday.
