The Atlantic Coast Conference will hold its annual Men’s Golf
Championship April 21-23 at Musgrove Mill Golf Club in Clinton, S.C.
The winner of the event will earn an automatic bid into the NCAA
Division I Golf Championship.
Virginia Tech is in its 13th season as a proud member of the Atlantic Coast
Conference. Arguably the best conference in collegiate golf, the ACC offers
the Hokies a grand platform in their quest to become one of the nation’s elite
programs. The Hokies won the 2007 ACC Golf Championship, their first since
joining the league in 2004.
The Tradition
Consistency is the mark of true excellence in any endeavor. In today’s
intercollegiate athletics, however, competition has become so balanced and so
competitive that it is virtually impossible to maintain a high level of consistency.
Yet the Atlantic Coast Conference has defied the odds. Now in its 64rd year
of competition, the ACC has long enjoyed the reputation as one of the strongest
and most competitive intercollegiate conferences in the nation. And that is not
mere conjecture, the numbers support it. Since the league’s inception in 1953,
ACC schools have captured 146 national championships, including 74 in
women’s competition and 72 in men’s. In addition, NCAA individual titles have
gone to ACC student-athletes 163 times in men’s competition and 129 times in
women’s action.
Virginia Tech captured the ACC Golf Championship at the Old North State
Club on April 22, 2007.
