The Quinnipiac University women's golf team will travel to Annapolis, Maryland to compete in Navy's Chesapeake Bay Invitational on Sept. 19-20 at the United States Naval Academy Golf Course. The Bobcats will play 54 holes over two days with 36 on Saturday, Sept. 19 and 18 on Sunday, Sept. 20.
The Field
Quinnipiac will compete against Navy, Dartmouth, Penn, Hofstra, Wagner, Towson, Sacred Heart, Longwood, Citadel and Delaware State.
The U.S. Naval Academy Golf Course
The U.S. Naval Academy Golf Club is a private, university golf course owned by the Naval Academy. It is operated by the Naval Academy Golf Association (NAGA), which is affiliated with the Naval Academy Athletic Association (NAAA). NAGA originally owned a nine-hole course established in 1916 which was adjacent to the Naval Academy Yard. However, the current golf course was acquired by the Naval Academy around 1939, when it was redesigned by renowned architect William Flynn (Shinnecock Hills, Cherry Hills, Upper Cascades).
The 18-hole course features 6,611 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 71. The course rating is 71.7 and it has a slope rating of 128.
The golf course serves approximately 600 annual members and their spouses. In addition, it serves as the home course for the Brigade of Midshipmen and all of the faculty and staff at the Naval Academy. Active duty and retired military personnel also have access to the course. The golf course averages roughly 30,000 rounds per year, and is open year round, weather permitting.
Season Opener
This weekend's competition will be the first of the year for the Bobcats. Head coach John O'Connor will travel to Annapolis, Maryland to compete with Nicole Scola (Westerly, Rhode Island), Jenn Whaley (Farmington, Connecticut) as well as freshmen Caitlin Blydenburgh (Castleton, New York), Abby Chase (Beaver Dam, Wisconsin), Julia Kemmling (Berlin, Connecticut) and Luciana Tobia (La Paz, Bolivia).
