"This was our third season tournament for the 2025-26 Season. This was a very competitive golf tournament, in some very tough and windy conditions in the foothills of Bluefield, Virginia. The VUU Golf Team responded well as we continued our rebuilding process," said VUU Head Golf Coach E. Lee Coble. Our goal continues to be to break 300 and they responded with a team score of 942 (307/310/333) and a scoring average of 314 (78.5). Again, this was not our best effort, and we continue to be immensely proud of the way the guys persevered to the end." We are now preparing for The 2026 Hampton Farms Intercollegiate Tournament, April 6th & 7th, 2026 that's being hosted by Chowan University at The Beechwood Country Club in Ahoskie, North Carolina.
