WILLIAMSBURG - Director of Golf Jay Albaugh announced the 2006-07 men’s golf schedule today, unveiling a challenging schedule aimed at preparing the Tribe to make a run at the conference title in the spring. William and Mary will compete in 10 events this year, including a pair of home invitational tournaments.

The season kicks off in roughly two weeks, with the Cleveland State Invitational on September 11-12. A three-week hiatus follows, before W&M hosts the Joe Agee Invitational at Stonehouse on October 2-3. October will also see the College in action at the Big Five Invitational in Philadelphia on the 14th and 15th, before finishing the fall season at the Georgetown Hoya Invitational, October 21-22.

The spring will kick off at the end of February at the Argonaut Invitational in Pensacola, Florida (February 26-27). The team will spend Spring Break (March 10-17) in Ireland, and will host the William and Mary Invitational at Kingsmill, March 26-27. The W&M Invitational starts a 13-day stretch where the team will take part in three tournaments in three different states. Three days after the home tournament finishes, the Tribe will travel up to Maryland for the Drew Upton Memorial on March 31st and April 1st.

The Marshall Invitational in Huntington, West Virginia, ends the endurance-testing two weeks on April 6-7, and the Tribe will take a much-needed two-week breather before the Colonial Athletic Association Championships on April 20-22. The conference championship returns to The Homestead this year, in Hot Springs, Virginia. The final event on the slate is the Cavalier Classic, April 28-29 in Charlottesville. The last time the Tribe was in the Cavalier Classic two years ago, the team claimed a one-stroke victory over Virginia and North Carolina State, and then-senior Gary Barton won the individual medal on the first playoff hole.
