The Virginia Union University golf team competed in the Bluefield State University's Men's Invitational Golf tournament on October 21st & 22nd, 2024. The tournament was contested at Fincastle Golf Course.  Fincastle was designed in 1965; Fincastle has built a reputation for its quick greens and the precise shot placements that are required. Golfers will experience a variety of unique shots as they play a round on Fincastle's manicured fairways and greens. There were a blend of open holes through the lower part of the course during the first nine before transitioning to a more tree lined route on the second nine that scales up the mountain.  Fincastle is a Par 70, 6, 357 yard layout.   It was a challenge for all golfers during the 36 hole tournament.  There was a total of eleven teams competing in the Men's Invitational.

 "This was our final Fall Season tournament.  We got off to a little shaky start and finished strong with back to back third place finishes,  said VUU Head Golf Coach E. Lee Coble.  "With the help of Assistant Coach Sean Bowers and now Grad Assistant Travon Willis, the team responded, and we are now preparing for our Spring Championship Season. We are immensely proud of the way the guys persevered to the end. We continue to be immensely proud of the accomplishments of our VUU Golf Team on and off the golf course".
