Feel the Atmosphere
Coach Jamie Howell says the lineup is a “power‑house” of teams—New Mexico Junior College, Central Alabama, and the Division II champs, Mississippi Gulf Coast. He told the squad to “play our game” and not get hung up on the big names. “It’s the first spring meet—everyone’s got a bit of rust, and the northern schools had some weather challenges—so expect a decently thrilling round,” Howell added.
Course Talk
Morning shotgun clocks in at 8:15 a.m., 36 holes are played, then the final round jumps back on Tuesday, again at 8:15 a.m. Sophomore Jamie Chepenik described the greens as “firm and fast.” “If you fall off the right side of the green, you’re looking at a five or six, so don’t let those flips slip!” he said. The course demands precision.
Who’s Who on the Titans
Last season’s Nationals saw the Titans finish 14th, yet they dominated the fall season, consistently placing in the top five. Sophomores Hugo Griesheimer and Masen McKain bring fresh energy. Griesheimer pointed out, “Teams were on a different level in most fall meets; we’re playing too high, not low enough. It’s time to go under par.” McKain echoed, “We mesh well, we’re fun, and that makes it easier to hit great shots.”
New Additions & Confidence Boost
Freshman Danny Byers has slipped into the starting lineup for this week’s Invitational. Byers is upbeat: “We’ve all earned our spot here, so confidence is key. If we weren’t good enough, we’d be out on the sidelines.” He’s looking forward to showing the team’s potential.
What’s Next?
The Titan Invitational is just the kickoff for four spring events leading up to the Southeast District Championships in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Stay tuned for more updates on how the Titans ride into the spring season.
