The ACC Men's Golf Championship will be played for the 11th consecutive year at the Old North State Club, April 20-22, in New London, North Carolina. It is a Par 72 track, laid out over 7,102 yards.
Tee times are scheduled to begin each of the three days at 8:30 a.m. NC State will tee off on Friday in group three between 10:10-10:50 a.m, playing alongside Clemson and Georgia Tech.
Admission is free to the 54-hole event, and directions are available at the championship link above. Additionally, live scoring will be available as well via golfstat.com and the ACC.
The ACC will provide video coverage of the event on both Saturday and Sunday from 1:30-4:30 p.m., and can be found by clicking the link above.
If there was ever such a thing as momentum in the game of golf the Wolfpack has it. State won last week in a 17-team field at home at the Wolfpack Spring Open. And a week early the club tied for second along side ACC rival Duke at the River Landing Intercollegiate.
NC State will run out the same starting lineup for a third-straight weekend, relying heavily on experience with three seniors, and a pair of All-Americans - one junior and one sophomore.
Seniors Graham Baillargeon, Chad Day and Mark McMillen will all compete in their final ACC Championship, while junior Mitchell Sutton takes aim at the course for the third time, and Choi his second go-around.
NC State boasts six individual ACC titles, with the last coming in 2009 from Matt Hill. The club won the team title in 1990.
