BOULDER — Colorado Golf Day, the main fundraising event for the University of Colorado men's golf team, is set for Monday, August 27 and will once again be held at Boulder Country Club.                   Participants will have the opportunity to play the course that has previously hosted the men's and women's Pac-12 Conference championships as well as several of the state's top amateur tournaments throughout its history.                   The format is a four-person "shamble" with a 1:30 p.m. shotgun start, and entry fees include lunch, beverages, a heavy appetizer awards reception and prizes (a shamble is where everyone tees off, but then everyone plays in from the location of the best drive).  Individual entry fees are $350, with a team of four costing $1,200; players can compete as individuals or for their businesses, but also can compete with three others on behalf of their designated golf club (members, pros, staff members, etc.) and the winning team will receive a rotating trophy to be on display at their club.  The two-time defending champion in the latter is Boulder Country Club.                   There are also sponsorship opportunities available, as all net proceeds from the event go to the Men's Golf Team Excellence Fund to help defray assorted expenses over the course of the season.                   For more information on the event, please contact Gabbie Pelloni, CU's director of golf operations, at gabbie.pelloni@colorado.edu or 303-492-6141.  You can register online for Colorado Golf Day at www.CUBuffs.com/events or email josi.carlson@colorado.edu (303-492-3213).  

                BOULDER — The University of Colorado and men's head golf coach Roy Edwards announced the team's 2018-19 schedule Thursday, and it features many familiar annual tournaments along with a couple of first-time affairs.                   The Buffaloes are coming off another successful year in program history, highlighted by their best finish in the Pac-12 Championships – second – in the seven years that CU has been a member of the conference.  CU was ranked No. 43 for the year (out of 299 schools that sponsor the sport), and qualified for the NCAA Championships for a sixth straight year.  The team set numerous team and individual records, including chopping a full stroke off the team's season stroke average.  

BOULDER — Yannik Paul, who set or shared in 23 records over the course of his golfing career at the University of Colorado, has been named to the honorable mention PING All-America team, the Golf Coaches Association of America announced Thursday.             Paul was CU's team leader in stroke average at 70.24, which was also good for fourth in the Pac-12 Conference and 11th in the nation, and in the process set the CU single-season record; he broke his older twin's (Jeremy) mark of 70.66 set in 2015-16.  His spring average of 69.64 shattered the old best as well, and became the first school record for an average under 70 in any category.  He was the team leader or tied for the lead in 21 statistical categories, perhaps the most impressive the fact that he has just six holes out of 612 worse than bogey all year (four doubles and two triples).  

Robin Choi, Yannik Paul, Erin Clark, Zach Perrin and Val Constein each collected UCHealth CU Athlete of the Week honors during the months of May and June. Golfers Robyn Choi and Yannik Paul were recognized for the week of May 14-20 after their outstanding performances at NCAA competitions. Then, during the week of May 21-27, senior distance runners Erin Clark and Zach Perrin earned the honor for stellar showings at the NCAA West Preliminary meet. In the final week of Colorado's athletic season (June 4-10), Val Constien took home athlete of the week honors after a top-5 finish in the 3,000-meter steeplechase NCAA Championship.

                 STOCKTON, Calif. — The University of Colorado men's golf team pulled to within two shots of fifth place, the final qualifying spot for the NCAA Championship Finals, but eventually slipped into a seventh place finish here Wednesday as the NCAA West Regional came to a close.                    CU turned in final round score of 2-over par 290, finishing with 54-hole score of 862 (2-under); that would in the end be 10 strokes back of fifth place, though it was much closer than that most of the day.   Late double- and quadruple bogeys took the Buffaloes out of red numbers for the day and let No. 6 LSU, the region's top seeded team, slip by them into sixth.  

                STOCKTON, Calif. — The University of Colorado men's golf team rode the proverbial rollercoaster here Tuesday, but at the end of the day, the Buffaloes posted the second-best score in moving up a notch into a tie for sixth through two rounds of the NCAA West/Stockton Regional.                    No. 42 Colorado recorded a 6-under par 282 score, but things didn't start off well.  At one point, the Buffs were 2-over and had slipped from a tie for seventh into one for 11th in the 13 team field.  But a strong back nine, including playing the last three holes at 4-under, thrusted CU up into a tie for sixth with a 4-under 572 total through 36 holes, one spot back of the last qualifying spot for the NCAA Championship Finals later this month.
