Snow doesn’t ruin fun for Falcons

Six inches of snow ruined the Bowling Green men’s golf team’s chance at playing the Roger Kepler Intercollegiate in Columbus over the weekend.

The Falcons were looking forward to the meet, which featured some stifling competition.

“We’re disappointed,” BG head coach Garry Winger said. “We had to an opportunity to play against the best field put together in the Midwest.”

But the Falcons didnt let the cancelled tournament ruin their good time.

They got to shoot on Ohio State’s Scarlet course, something they’ve never done. Even though it was in the rain, the Falcons got to enjoy a nice meal in the sun afterwards.

“It rained most of the day,” Winger said. “It was miserable, but then it got beautiful afterwards.”

The main problem surrounding BG right now is not snow or cancelled tournaments. The snow is going away and there will always be time for more tournaments.

The problem for BG is finals week being right around the corner. BG will be doing double time next week as Monday, Tuesday and the early part of Wednesday will be used to take their five or six exams.

Then they will take off for Westerville, Ohio where they will take part in the Mid-American Conference championships from Thursday to Sunday.

The Falcons had prepared for this scenario from the beginning of the year by scheduling the Kepler tournament a week before finals. But now that the meet was cancelled, the Falcons will play a tune up round against Kent State, one of the top teams in the conference.

“The plan is to go over there, play and drive back,” Winger said.

With all the activity going on in the next 10 days leading into the tournament, one might think the Falcons would be set for a nightmarish tournament.

But for Winger, the tournament will be a release for his team.

“They’re going to have a lot on their minds,” he said. “It’s going to be an obvious relief for them when they’re at the MAC tournament and they know they won’t have to come back to school.

“But their minds are going to be doing overtime.”

The Falcons next action will be this Saturday in Kent when they play a dual match against the Flashes.
