Knights Season Preview

Your Northwood Knights come into the 2012/13 season with a huge amount of confidence, led by Seniors Travis Kemp & Ian Morehouse; the Knights are expecting great things.

Returning all 10 players who got as high as 23rd in the nation last and finished with a team stroke average of 302, the Knights are better positioned to take a run at a Top 5 ranking and a shot at the National Championship.

Coach Belfield "We have a very talented squad returning all the players who were with me last year. Travis has a huge amount of tournament experience, Joss Gosling was one of the top players in the nation last year and Derek Trofimczuk had a superb end to the year, leading the team in scoring over the last 4 tournaments. Combining that with JT, Daniel and Chris amongst the other returners who have seemingly worked really hard on their games over the summer and we should be in good stead! It will be interesting to see how my freshmen do with such a strong squad......!"

"Our schedule should be amongst the toughest in the country, we are playing 2 TPC courses, going to Florida to play some of the eastern teams and for the first time in Northwood history playing 9 regular season events. We have a very healthy mix of great courses which will no doubt have some of the strongest teams in the country. We are looking forward to the challenge!"

The Knights open the season at the tournament of the defending National Champions, Oklahoma City. The tournament hosted at Lincoln Park GC opens September 16th.

You can follow the Knights progress on Twitter and of course on this blog!
