THE COURSE:
The Naval Academy Golf Club is a private, university golf course owned by the Naval Academy. It is operated by the Naval Academy Golf Association (NAGA), which is affiliated with the Naval Academy Athletic Association (NAAA). The golf course serves as the home course for the Brigade of Midshipmen and all of the faculty and staff at the Naval Academy. Active duty and retired military personnel, as well as civilians also have access to the course.

The Naval Academy golf course was realized in 1938, when the U.S. Navy purchased the surrounding land on Greenbury Point in order to expand their radio communications facility. The acquired land included the 18-hole golf course developed in 1928 by the Greenbury Point Yacht and Country Club, but had become abandoned during the Great Depression. Over the next two years, the Navy restored nine of the eighteen original holes and in 1940, the Naval Academy Golf Club opened for play. In 1942, William Flynn was contracted to design and develop a course composed around the existing nine holes. After two years, Flynn's redesigned Naval Academy course debuted in 1944. The finished course included eleven holes south of Greenbury Point Road and seven holes north of the main road, and incorporated the rolling terrain of inlets and surrounding tidal rivers of the Chesapeake Bay, along with views of the Bay Bridge in the distance.

Further expansion of the radio facility eliminated two of the holes south of the road and two holes, the present numbers 13 and 14 were added. This completed the layout that exists today with the front nine south of the road and the back nine north of the road. Flynn's design emphasized his strategy of "preferred line of play" in which the golfer is encouraged to place his shot with thought for advantage on the subsequent shot.

THE FIELD:
In addition to Seton Hall and host Navy, the field included 14 other schools: Binghamton, Bucknell, Colgate, Columbia, George Mason, George Washington, Harvard, Howard, Lafayette, Le Moyne, Loyola Maryland and William & Mary. Fellow BIG EAST opponents, Connecticut and Georgetown, are also in the field.

THE FORMAT:
Teams played five golfers and count the four lowest scores per round.

UP NEXT:
Seton Hall will return to tournament action for three rounds of golf at the Nemacolin Collegiate Invitational at Mystic Rock Golf Course in Farmington, Pa., Sept. 29-30.
