Students Eager For Intramural Golf

This upcoming Friday is the university's annual spring intramural golf tournament.

Registration for the tournament opened on April, 19. The entry fee is $29 per player, and is open to all University of Oklahoma students. The tournament will take place at Westwood Golf Course, which is in Norman.

USGA Rules of Golf will apply during this tournament.

"I've been playing golf my whole life pretty much, it's what I love to do," said Matt Lang, business sophomore.

When asked about how familiar with the rules he was, Lang said, "These are the same rules I've played most of my life, and I also work at a golf course so I am very familiar with these rules."

Players are not just eager to play, they also seem determined to win.

"Since the weather has warmed up I have been going out at playing at least two to three times a week," said Alona Nelson, broadcast sophomore.

Nelson is not the only one who has been preparing for this tournament, "Whenever I don't have anything to do, I'm usually out hitting balls somewhere or trying to squeeze in a quick round," said Lang.

Some of the people who are playing have played against each other before and are looking forward to the chance to go against one another. "I know a few other guys who have signed up to play," said Lang. "It will be fun to get out there with them and see whose the best."

In the end, students are looking at this as a fun event to participate in at the end of the semester.

"With finals coming up, this is kind of a fun way to end the semester and the year before burying my head into the books," said Lang.
