The third annual Falcon Invitational was held at Stone Ridge on April 13th and 14th. Even though the wind and rain did not let up, the ladies played 36 holes, instead of 54, and ended in 3rd place. On the second day, the BGSU team had the lowest team score in the field with a 322, this is also the lowest score for BG this spring. Megan Gormley finished one off the lead with a 158, Megan Bader had a 162, and Lauren Glew shot a 165, which placed all three Falcons in the top 11. We had a lot of fun playing on our home course, even though the sun was not shining, we still enjoyed ourselves!
With this strong finish, the team headed to Hannah Lambert's home course of Pine Hills to play in the Cleveland State Invitational. Although the practice round was nice, the girls only completed one hole before the course was declared unplayable, and the tournament was cancelled.
Up next is the MAC Championship April 24th - 26th. This tournament is 72 holes (more than we have competed in one tournament all year). Longaberger Golf Course is a challenging course in southern Ohio, but the Falcons are ready for it!! The team has seen this course before and we are excited to get out there and end the season strong!!

Hole In ONE!!
On the blustery second day of the Bradley Invitational, sophomore Marisa Glew hit a 6 iron off the 8th tee and recorded the first ace of her career. This par three was playing roughly 130 yards with the green a little downhill from the tee box, so it was a perfect view to watch the ball go into the cup. She did not even think about it going in the hole but knew it was a good shot while the ball was still in the air. The ball bounced once on the green and then trickled into the hole. Unfortunately no one on the team was able to see this accomplishment, but it sure was the main topic of conversation on the eight hour bus ride home!! Now, four of the six current Falcon golfers have hole in ones, but Marisa is the only to do it in competition.
