The women’s golf team started the season Monday, and the men’s team is preparing for the GAC Preview next week.
The women’s golf team played in the central region tournament at Blue Springs, Missouri, led by seniors Samantha Friday and Madison Masch.
The men will have their first tournament Sept. 12 and 13 in Oklahoma City at Lake Hefner golf course.
Both teams are led by Dan Campbell, who is in his first year of coaching at Northwestern.
“We have great players across the board,” Campbell said. “We have been putting in a lot of work, with everyone upping the work level.”
Campbell also said his players have been working out so much that some stay until 10 or 11 p.m., showing how dedicated they are to get better.
“They keep me busy, but that’s the way we want it with everybody working hard,” Campbell said.
The men’s GAC Preview will have all teams in the conference compete in Oklahoma City.
The women’s team will play two more tournaments Sept. 19 and 20 in Bolivar, Missouri, and in Shawnee Sept. 26 and 27. The men only have one, which will be Oct. 3 and 4 in Hot Springs, Arkansas. After that, the Rangers will host a men’s and women’s tournament called the Ranger Invite on Oct. 18 and 19 in Enid.
