Looking into that question; meanwhile here's the wrap STEVEV alluded to:
(IMHO, this has quietly bacome a very talented, underrated team. They've been very much in contention in the majority of the rounds they've played this year: congrats to Coaches Thomas/Klinger and the guys. Now lets get a ladies team together. 9000 students and you can't find 8 females who want to tee off?)
The Flames fired an eight-over par 292 to hold the lead after the first round of the William & Mary Invitational as Liberty leads the field of 20 teams after competing on the par 71, 6,871 yard River Course at the Kingsmill Resort and Golf Club today.
Liberty holds a one stroke lead over Maryland (293) and a three stroke lead over Villanova (295), while host William & Mary struggled on the day as the Tribe is in a three-way tie with St. John’s and George Washington for 10th place after an 18-over par 302.
Four players battled bluster course conditions to find red numbers as Loyola’s Will Shriver, St. Bonaventure’s Josh Anderson and William & Mary’s Brent Paladino all carded rounds of two-under par 69, while Liberty’s Andrew Turner stands in fourth place after a one-under par 70 to lead the field of 115 golfers.
Also helping the Flames to the first round lead were Peter Horstman, who is tied for fifth after an even par round of 71, Jay Calvo, who is tied for 30th after a four-over par 75, and Parker McKoy and Albie Powers, who are both tied for 46th after a five-over par 76.
The Flames will look to maintain their lead and claim their first tournament victory of the spring season tomorrow with the final 18 holes of competition which will be played at the par 72, 6,432 yard Plantation Course at the Kingsmill Resort and Golf Club.

Anderson was awarded individual medalist honors based upon pre-tournament criteria.
Also helping the Flames to the tournament title were Peter Horstman, who tied for fifth after an even par round of 71, Jay Calvo, who tied for 30th after a four-over par 75, and Parker McKoy and Albie Powers, who both tied for 46th after a five-over par 76.
The Flames return to action this weekend when they travel to Westover, Md. to compete in the Drew Upton Memorial Tiger Golf Classic. The two-day 36-hole event is played at the Great Hope Golf Course and hosted by Towson.

The guys have really been playing well this year. After the first week, when they slid from 4th to 5th in the final round, they have finished no worse than 4th, lead several rounds, finished 2nd in a playoff and won a weather shortened event.
In short, a very nice season so far, and my hopes are high for these guys to do well at Princeton and then in the BSOUTH championships.
Also looking forward to the establishment of Ladies golf down on the mountain.

I know we talked about this guy before but I can't find the post(s). As far as the range: now I have a legit reason to throw the clubs in the car when I come down!
For former Liberty University Golf Coach Frank Landrey, the writing of his recent book, “True Tales of College Golf,” was a mission from God.
“The theme of (True Tales) is ‘Divine Intervention’,” Landrey stressed. “I wanted for my players and for all those that we met to draw closer to the Lord, even through competition.”
He also has a philanthropic mission behind his book. For every copy of True Tales that is sold, Landrey will donate $1 to the Liberty University golf team – the money will specifically be used for a proposed on-campus driving range.
To help Liberty in its quest for that facility, Landrey is attempting to market True Tales to at least 100,000 people.
That way, he says, the golf team will receive $100,000 towards their driving range, and his message will be more visible to the general public.
As part of the first fruits of that goal, Landrey presented current Head Coach Jeff Thomas with a check for $1,000 at a Flames Club luncheon on Tuesday, March 28. Landrey is also donating 50 cents from the sale of each book to Fellowship of Christian Athletes and 50 cents to College Golf Fellowship, two golfing organizations, which, by his admission, have meant a lot to him as a coach and a player.
In making some remarks to the Flames Club, Landrey gave glory to God for the success of the golf program and praised Thomas for his contributions to the team.
Thomas was of the same opinion as Landrey in his address to the Flames Club members.
“It’s amazing to see how much God’s hand has been on this team,” Thomas said.
Thomas gave a report on the team’s accomplishments in the current season, just prior to Landrey’s statements.
Thus far, those accomplishments have consisted of top-six finishes in each of the competitions the Fairway Flames have entered, including a first place finish at the William & Mary Invitational and a narrow second-place finish to Campbell University in a playoff at the Hargrove Davis Spring Classic. Both tournaments were held earlier this month.
In another segment of his address at the luncheon, Landrey presented Liberty’s “Number One Fan,” Gary Householder, with a copy of True Tales and a hat with the words “True Tales” and “AWAGA” across the front. Landrey challenged Householder to wear the hat at basketball games and to live by its message – Householder responded in the affirmative, to the audience’s delight.
The cryptic slogan on the hat carries implications far beyond mere advertising for a book.
“AWAGA stands for ‘Always With A Godly Attitude’,” Landrey said. The full slogan, SITTAWAGA – SITT meaning “Sock It To Them” – references one of the rallying cries that Landrey’s 2002-03 squad had throughout its season. That team had a dream season – playing well enough to make it to the NCAA East Regional in Auburn, Ala. – and the book chronicles the team’s journey to an NCAA berth. However, it also details Landrey’s intensely personal account of his physical and spiritual journey throughout the process.
“I wrote (True Tales) to be a multipurpose, self-help empowerment book … Anything that worked in my life or in my guys that was worth sharing, is in this book,” Landrey said.
To further bring publicity to his book, Landrey will be quite visible at this weekend’s College for a Weekend experience. He plans to be at the CFAW registration table from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Thursday, April 6, and he will then be in the bookstore April 7-9. For the first 50 books that are sold, Landrey said, he is giving away a free “AWAGA” hat, a giveaway that will occur both at the registration table and in the bookstore.
He quipped that his book would make readers laugh, or he would give them their money back – you just have to catch him on campus.
The Flames finished the first day of the Princeton Invitational in a two-way tie for 12th place along with Rutgers in a closely contested battle as just 19 strokes separate the 14-team field after 18 holes of competition played on Saturday at the par 71, 6,390 yard Springdale Golf Club.
Columbia and Pennsylvania share the top spot on the leaderboard after the first day of competition as the two programs both carded rounds of 20-over par 304, while Villanova, George Mason and Princeton are in a three-way tie for third place after 22-over par rounds of 306.
Liberty and Rutgers finished the first day, which was shortened from 36 holes to just 18 holes due to rain, as both the Flames and the Scarlet Knights fired a 34-over par 318.
Only two players were able to find red numbers on the day as St. John’s Keegan Bradley leads the field of 75 golfers after a two-under par 69, while Columbia’s Chris Condello is just one shot behind him after a one-under par 70.
Andrew Turner and Peter Horstman lead the way for the Flames as both golfers finished the day with a seven-over par 78 and are tied for 27th place. Albie Powers and Jay Calvo are just three shots behind their fellow teammates as they are tied for 49th place after a 10-over par 81, while Parker McKoy is tied for 59th after an 11-over par 82.
The Flames will conclude competition in the Princeton Invitational on Sunday with a final 18 holes at the Springdale Golf Club.

Four of Liberty’s five golfers finished the event with the same score as Andrew Turner (78-75), Parker McKoy (82-71), Peter Horstman (78-75) and Albie Powers (81-72) all finished the tournament with an 11-over par 153.

Parker McKoy fired a career-best five-under par 67 to catapult himself to the top of the leaderboard at the conclusion of the second day of competition at the 2006 PUPS/PDPS Big South Men’s Golf Championship held at The Patriot Club on Tuesday.
Parker’s five-under par 67, which featured five birdies and 13 pars, marks the single best round of the sophomore’s career and the third best round of golf ever recorded in Big South Men’s Golf Championship history.
However, the rest of the Flames struggled on the afternoon as Liberty fell from a tied for fourth place to sixth place after the second round with Liberty heading into the final round of golf tomorrow 19 strokes off the pace.
No. 1 seed Coastal Carolina carded an even-par round of 288 to claim the overall lead as the Chanticleers have a two-day total of 13-over par 589 (301-288). Charleston Southern stands in second with a 22-over par 598 (302-296), while High Point is in third place with a 24-over par 600 (299-301).
The Flames are in sixth place with a 32-over par 608 (302-306), while Radford suffered the worst fall of the day as the Highlanders, who led after the first day, fell to seventh place (34-over par 610) after a 25-over par 313 today.
Individually, McKoy leads the field of 35 golfers with a three-under par 141 (74-67), while Charleston Southern’s Shawn Hall is the only other golfer in red figures with a one-under par 143 (71-72). Birmingham-Southern’s Austin Frye is in third place with a one-over par 145 (75-70).
Liberty’s remaining four golfers are paced by Jay Calvo, who is tied for 17th place with a nine-over par 153 (73-80), Andrew Turner, who is tied for 24th with a 12-over par 156 (78-78), Albie Powers, who is tied for 29th with a 14-over par 158 (77-81) and Peter Horstman, who is tied for 32nd with a 15-over par 159 (78-81).
McKoy will look to maintain his two stroke lead tomorrow when the seven conference schools return to the par 72, 7,001 yard course for a final 18 holes of competition to determine this year’s Big South Men’s Golf Championship.

Coastal Carolina Wins 2006 PUPS/PDPS Big South Men's Golf Championship
NINETY SIX, S.C. – No. 1 seed Coastal Carolina shot a 292 team aggregate score in the final round of the 2006 PUPS/PDPS Big South Men’s Golf Championship Wednesday and maintained its nine-stroke lead over Charleston Southern to win its third-straight League crown, which was contested at The Patriot Club at Grand Harbor (par 72, 7001 yards) in Ninety Six, S.C. Coastal’s 54-hole total of 881 bested CSU’s 890 to finish ahead of the Buccaneers for the third consecutive year. Individually, Charleston Southern’s Shawn Hall shot a 1-under 71 Wednesday for a three-round score of 2-under 214 to capture Medalist honors, winning by one stroke over Liberty’s Parker McKoy (1-under 215).
Opening round play was slated to begin at 8:00am, but thunderstorms delayed the start two-and-a-half hours to 10:30am. Another storm 35 minutes into the start of competition suspended play an additional two-and-a-half hours, resulting in a shotgun start at 2:00pm. Play concluded at around 7:00pm.
High Point carded a 295 Wednesday to finish third at 895, its highest-ever finish in the Big South Men’s Golf Championship. Winthrop tallied a 296 to place fourth at 902, while Radford posted a 294 to enter the clubhouse at 904, jumping two spots to fifth from seventh place. Liberty (301) was sixth in the event with a 909, four shots ahead of seventh-place Birmingham-Southern (913).
Radford’s Aaron Summers recorded the lowest score of the afternoon with a 70 to finish tied for sixth at 221. Others under par Wednesday included Hall (71), CSU’s Stuart Carrihill (71) and High Point and Big South Freshman of the Year Ryan Wilson (71). Following McKoy in the overall individual standings were Coastal’s Dustin Johnson (third – 218) and Moises Cobo (fourth – 219), and High Point’s Marc Issler (fifth – 220).
The remaining All-Conference honorees, based on their Championship finish, are McKoy, Issler, Birmingham-Southern’s Austin Frye and High Point duo Ryan Wilson and Zachary Pranger. The group joins Hall, Johnson, Cobo, Summers and CSU’s Nick Olson to comprise the 2006 All-Conference team. With the crown, Coastal Carolina receives the Big South’s automatic bid to the NCAA Regional. Below are the final team scores and top 10 individual results:

Good year for the guys, I think they played a LOT better than their final showing indicated, and look forward to seeing the ladies get their own team on the mountain soon! Looking forward to next season.

Getting info from one of CCU's golf-team members that LU may NOT be out of the hunt to make the NCAA's just yet.
Evidently we are actually in a different division than CCU, so - if I understand this: CCU is ranked 5th in their division (south) and the top 8 teams go on. LU is currently 4th in our divison (mid-atlantic), but only the top 4 make it. If we hold on and finish the season ranked 4th, I assume we get an auto-bid for our division.
I could be COMPLETELY wrong here- thats just my understanding of the situation. If someone from our team could jump in here I'd appreciate it. More info to follow........

Flames Receive At-Large Bid To NCAA Men's Golf Regional Championship
May 8, 2006
Lyncnburg, Va.
For the second time in the history of the program and the overall athletics department’s history, the Liberty University men’s golf program received an at-large bid to an NCAA Tournament as the Flames are one of 27 teams heading to the East Regional of the 2006 NCAA Men’s Golf Championship as announced by the selection committee today.
The Flames will now travel to Orlando, Fla. to compete at the East Regional, hosted by the University of Central Florida and the Central Florida Sports Commission. The three-day/54-hole event will be played at the par-72, 7,215-yard Lake Nona Golf Club on May 18-20.
Liberty was one of 17 teams that were issued at-large bids to the East Regional, while 10 teams made the field of 27 teams by virtue of automatic bids as they won their conference championships. Liberty was the 25th-ranked team in the East Regional.
Georgia is the top seed in the East Regional, followed by UCLA at second and UNLV at third. Liberty is joined by fellow Big South Conference member Coastal Carolina in the East Regional as the Chanticleers enter the championship as the 10th-seeded team in the Regional.
