What has happened to our golf program? 10 years ago we had
Apr 20, 2012, 10:09 PM

one of the best programs in the country. For several years we were ranked #1 and favored to win it all before we did in 2003. I really thought we would have won a couple more after that. Since 2003 we have basically done nothing... including today.

Didn't we have Arnold Palmer's grandson commit to us?

Not that he's necessarily better than who we have, but is he still on our roster?

Basically done nothing? really? Kyle Stanley won the Ben Hogan award. Golf is the program you're going to go after?

How many have we won in ANY sports since 2003? Golf has one. Not many of our other sports do. This is a ridiculous thread.

I agree, of all the programs at Clemson, Golf is not the one to be complaining about. Clemson will always be competitive with golf and will compete for Championships. I could be wrong but I believe two top golfers are on there way to Clemson next year.
In regards to programs, I am more worried about Baseball and will need to see how this football season goes. But I'm wanting to question the Strength and Conditioning program.

We still have one of the best programs in the country

And the current team is young. Today we had a bad day because our #1/#2 players both performed significantly under their normal abilities (especially #2). We will rebound. I almost guarantee we will finish the ACC better than we are now - although today's bad day probably means we won't win it.

Fire Penley? If he is the problem, fire him. If not, there
Apr 20, 2012, 10:58 PM

is nothing wrong. Seems to me that golf is like basketball minus the predictability. You have a very few athletes, so if a couple pan out (J Byrd, etc) you are golden, but if a few dont (Saunders, the Palmer grandson mentioned below), you struggle.
Penley is already in the Collegiate Golf Hall of Fame. The Masters had more Clemson players in it than any school except OK State. Nothing is wrong. Or fire Penley. Which do you choose?

Are you crazy

This team is one of the best in years and only has one senior. We had a bad day. That was reeves worst round all year. I still expect us to finish top 3 in the tournament and possibly win a regional. Out of the three tournaments they played at full strength the worst they finished was 2nd. Out of all the programs at clemson golf is the last one to worry about.

Yay for third place. Dude... I'm talking ACC championships, regional championships, national championships. How many we got? We were at the top. We didn't stay there.

Golf isn't as predictable as most of the other sports, unless you truly have a stud or two to carry you 100 percent of the time (Ricky Fowler, Jordan Spieth, Patrick Cantlay, Peter Uihlein).
Recently our guys haven't been as hot at the right time of the season as they need to be. But the stable of players has been unreal. Don't forget about Ben Martin as well who is on the Nationwide Tour this year and was on the PGA Tour last year.
Kyle Stanley was the runner-up in the NCAA Tournament in 2009.
In 2006, we finished 7th in the nation at the NCAA Tournament, and 5th in 2008.
To say we haven't done anything the last few years is nuts. Golf is the one program of ours that I don't think we should be complaining about even slightly.

Golf has won a Tournament this year. Judging them off one round in a tournament isnt very fair. Our #1 and 2 guys struggled a little today.

We have two freshmen starters and the #1 Junior in the country coming next year. Future looks bright. On the PGA tour Clemson has the longest streak of years with a win of any university.

I have not heard his name all spring, and he was one of our most consistent players last year. Is he injured?

Not to be rude, but you obviously have no clue what you are talking about. Our golf program is one of the best in the nation. Find something else to complain about.
As far as the ACC tournament is concerned, Clemson has historically never played this course very well. It's not a big deal.
Thank you come again.
