ORLANDO, Fla. (Sept. 5, 2013) – With the college golf season teeing off this weekend, Golfweek gets readers ready for all the action with the release of its annual College Preview issue. Featuring news, commentary and insights from Golfweek’s stable of college golf experts, the Sept. 6 issue delivers a wealth of in-depth coverage, ranging from preseason rankings and player profiles to exclusive features and analytical columns.
“As a staff, we view our College Preview edition as one of the highlights of our year,” said Golfweek Editor Jeff Babineau. “There isn’t another media outlet in our industry that puts the time, resources and limitless passion into covering the college game as we do, and we take great pride in that. Two years ago, we were previewing a little-known incoming freshman at Texas named Jordan Spieth, who today is becoming a star on the PGA Tour. We enjoy telling readers the stories about these college players because we realize many will be the stars of tomorrow.”
Highlights of Golfweek’s 2013 College Preview include:
• An insightful profile of Annie Park, NCAA champion and Golfweek’s No. 1-ranked women’s player
• A “For Your Game” piece breaking down how Park and her instructor, Sean Foley, retooled her swing
• A story depicting the resurgence of the Houston men’s program, which had fallen from its glory days but is now a national contender under coach Jonathan Dismuke
• Golfweek’s take on the hot topics and predictions for the upcoming season
• Lance Ringler’s perspective on how TV will impact the NCAA Championship
• Preseason rankings of the top men’s and women’s teams, as well as top men’s and women’s individuals
Also featured inside this year’s College Preview is the 2013 Golfweek’s Best Campus Courses list, which ranks the top 30 collegiate courses across the country. The Course at Yale (New Haven, Conn.) and Taconic Golf Club at Williams College (Williamstown, Mass.) continue to lead the list, affirming the prestige of these elite courses. Joining the ranks this year: newcomer Furman University Golf Club (Greenville, S.C), a spectacular 18-hole facility that makes its debut at No. 29.
On Golfweek.com, the comprehensive college coverage continues with capsules on each of the top 30 preseason men’s and women’s teams.
“No one knows college golf like Golfweek,” said Golfweek Publisher Jereme Day. “We cover the collegiate landscape extensively not just in our annual preview, but year-round, which strikes directly at the core of our mission to provide the most authentic and authoritative coverage of the game.”
