ALLENDALE, Mich. -- Players and teams from as far away as California Arizona, New Mexico, Florida and Alabama are set to vie for the NCAA Division II individual and team golf championships beginning May 22 in Allendale, Michigan on the campus of Grand Valley State University. In all, 105 players will compete in the 72-hole national tournament.

The Meadows Golf Club will play host for the second time to the men’s Division II event, with new champions slated to be crowned May 25. The championship will mark the sixth time Grand Valley has hosted an NCAA final at The Meadows, which was designed a little over a decade ago by noted golf course architect Dr. Michael Hurdzan.

“We’re delighted to have a national event here in west Michigan again,” said Terry Sack, general manager of The Meadows Golf Club. “Our last men’s championship featured some fabulous play and people are still talking about the three-way playoff we had for the individual title. With the talent coming in this year, we believe this event should be the equal of our last men’s tournament.”

Sack’s comments were echoed by Tommy Riggs of Pittsburg State University, the chairman of the Division II men’s golf committee.
