TIFTON — America’s byways and skyways were a bit more green and gold this weekend.

Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College just finished up the national men’s tennis tournament with an eighth place finish. The Fillies’ softball team is flying to Utah for the softball national championship, a tournament that begins Wednesday. On the ground, ABAC golf coach Larry Byrnes was headed with players to Plymouth, Ind., for the annual NJCAA Division II championship.

The tournament tees Tuesday at Swan Lake Resort’s Black course, one which Byrnes has seen before. In 2016, the Stallions finished 10th there, shooting 294 as a team on the final day.

Byrnes described Swan Lake as flat as Indiana itself. “This is a long course,” he said, “a shot-maker’s course.”

He does not expect to win the tournament —South Mountain (Ariz.) and Mississippi Gulf Coast are the top two teams nationally — but believes ABAC will do well if they can limit the double bogeys and anything worse than that. GolfStat currently ranks the Stallions 11th in the nation. They were sixth at nationals a year ago.

ABAC’s five on the course will be Will Bozeman, Matthew Cheek, Hunter Dokey, Adam Park and Tyler White. Bozeman is coming off an excellent performance at the NJCAA District J championship last month, where his two-day total of 147 earned him low medalist.

Byrnes raves about what Bozeman has done this year.

“Will Bozeman really, really blossomed into a golfer,” he said.

Park was third at district and finished ninth at nationals at GlenLakes, Ala., a year ago. He earned Second Team All-American then and Byrnes expects him to win another this week. Byrnes describes White as “even keeled.” White, Cheek and Dokey are all freshmen.

“I’m proud of all of them,” said Byrnes. That’s not just for their playing skills. According to Byrnes, ABAC’s players are on the course every day possible, putting in the work to improve. “They work hard at what they’re doing,” he said.
