JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 1, 2009) - With the goal of making a record 21st trip to the NCAA Championships, the ETSU men's golf team will begin its 2008-09 spring season Monday in the Arizona Intercollegiate at the Arizona National Golf Club in Tucson, Ariz.

            The Buccaneers are coming off a 2007-08 season in which they made a school record 20^th trip to the NCAA Championships, and ultimately ending the year in the Top 25 of each major collegiate golf poll.

            ETSU will returns five players from its roster of a year ago, including players such as Seamus Power (Waterford, Ireland) and Rhys Enoch (Cornwall, England), who both were major contributors to the Bucs a year ago. Newcomers such as Scottish Boys Champion Michael Stewart (Troon, Scotland) and U.S. Amateur qualifier Devin Komline (Dorset, Vermont) are also expected to compete for positions on the top five this fall.
