ORLANDO, Fla. (Sept. 8, 2011) – Golfweek, the most authentic, authoritative and independent voice in golf, kicks off the 2011-2012 collegiate golf season with tomorrow’s release of its annual College Preview Issue. Dedicating 22 full pages to analyzing the college game, the Sept. 9 issue features a host of exclusive reports and player profiles, along with comprehensive rankings of the NCAA’s best teams and individuals and a look at this year’s best collegiate courses.
“We greet the start of any new college golf season with great enthusiasm, and we’re particularly excited this fall with the abundance of freshman talent that is entering the college ranks,” said Golfweek Editor Jeff Babineau. “Having followed college newcomers such as Jordan Spieth, Patrick Rodgers, Cheng-Tsung Pan and Anthony Paolucci, our experts really feel this class could be something special. Nobody covers the college and amateur game with the resources and depth that Golfweek does. It brings us great pleasure to tell our readers about tomorrow’s stars well before they ever step onto the pro stage.”
In addition to Division I men’s and women’s preseason rankings, highlights of Golfweek’s 2011 College Preview include:
• An in-depth look at this year’s formidable freshman class, including University of Texas-bound Jordan Spieth
• An insightful profile of Patrick Rodgers, who enters Stanford off a strong junior golf career
• Top preseason picks from Golfweek’s college experts – Ron Balicki, Beth Ann Baldry, Lance Ringler and Asher Wildman
• Rankings of the top Division II, Division III and NAIA teams
Capping off the issue’s comprehensive college coverage is the Golfweek’s Best Campus Courses list, which showcases the top 30 collegiate courses across the country. The Course at Yale (New Haven, Conn.) and Taconic Golf Club at Williams College (Williamstown, Mass.) lead the top of class for the second year in a row, while the Rawls Course at Texas Tech University (Lubbock, Texas) edged out Palouse Ridge Golf Club at Washington State (Pullman, Wash.) for the No. 3 spot on the 2011 list.
