DONALDSON, IN – Ancilla College has been awarded the opportunity to host the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Men’s Division II National Golf Championship in May 2016.
For the third time, in the last six years, Ancilla College has been chosen as the host of this prestigious event to be held at the 36-hole course at The United States Golf Academy at Sawn Lake Golf Resort in Plymouth, Indiana. The tournament will host the top junior college golfers from across the United States, each competing for top team and individual honors.
The college golf season runs from August to May each year, with the month of December off, culminating with the NJCAA National Championships in late May. (Past Champions have included PGA greats such as Bubba Watson.)
Ancilla College men’s and women’s golf coach Marc Green remarked, “I am very excited to get the news that we are hosting the 2016 NJCAA National Championship, it is both a privilege and an honor to get selected.”
Ancilla College athletic director, Gene Reese, commented “It is a great honor to have the opportunity to host the NJCAA Men’s Division II Golf tournament for 2016. We are thankful for Chad Hutsell and the outstanding staff at Swan Lake Resort; it is because of them that we are able to host this event for the third time. What a tremendous opportunity for national exposure for Ancilla College.”
Swan Lake Resort golf pro Chad Hutsell said pairing with Ancilla College is a great partnership. “Swan Lake Resort is pleased and honored to host the NJCAA National Championship. Working with Ancilla College to bring the championship to Plymouth and Swan Lake Resort has been a real pleasure.”
