No. 19 UHV men’s golf sets 2024 spring schedule

The No. 19-ranked UHV men's golf team announced its 2024 spring schedule on Wednesday.

The Jaguars will compete in six tournaments, including two at home, this spring as they push for a fourth consecutive conference title.

They open the season Feb. 5-6 at Texas A&M-International's Jack Brown Memorial Invite at the Laredo Country Club and conclude the spring schedule at home April 29-May 1 for the Red River Athletic Conference Tournament held at the Victoria Country Club. This is the fourth consecutive year UHV has hosted the RRAC Tournament.

The Jaguars will host their annual Claud Jacobs Invitational Feb. 26-27 at the Victoria Country Club.

"We had a fantastic fall schedule," said head coach Garrett Adair. "The guys really worked hard last semester and gave us a lot of momentum going into the spring. We're excited to get back out there and hopefully win another conference title, and push for a national title."

The Jaguars finished in the Top 5 in each of their four tournaments this fall, including two wins. Joshua Van der Wath won the individual title in each of the last two tournaments, including going two-under (69-74-71—214) at the UHV Fall Classic on Oct. 17-18.

Entering the spring, UHV holds a 291.2 team stroke average through 10 rounds. The school record for stroke average is 291.44 set during the 2020-21 season.

UHV's longest trip will be March 25-26 for The Battle at Laughlin Ranch Golf Club in Bullhead, Arizona. The team competed in the same tournament last year in which they competed against some of the best teams in the country in preparation for the NAIA Tournament.

The RRAC Tournament field will be bolstered this year with the six-team Frontier Conference joining as an affiliate member. No. 15-ranked Rocky Mountain College (MT) is a member of the Frontier Conference and has won their conference title for the past six seasons.

"This year will be tough," Adair said. "The Frontier plays strong golf and Rocky Mountain is always a contender. The conference tournament will be very competitive this year and every team will benefit."
