The Dayton Flyers will continue their spring season with a quadrangular golf match at the Ohio State University of Saturday, April 4.

UD will compete against Ohio State, Cleveland State and Youngstown State. The one-day event features 36 holes of golf.

Dayton is coming off a 12th place finish at the Ball State Cardinal Classic in its last tournament. Sophomore Chris Woeste led the Flyers with rounds of 76 and 78.

Speaking of Woeste, he has a streak of three consecutive rounds below an 80 going. He is third on the team in stroke average at 76.9 and in total rounds with 16 this season.

This will be the fourth spring event of the season for Dayton. Thus far the Flyers average 315.00 strokes per round during the spring, higher than the 299.00 stroke average during the fall campaign.

The Ohio State University Scarlet Golf Course is rated one of the best collegiate facilities in the country by Golf Digest. It reopened in the spring of 2006 after undergoing a major renovation by golf great Jack Nicklaus.

Located two miles northwest of the main campus, the par 71 golf course measures 7,455 yards from the championship tees. The course was originally constructed in 1938 by famed architect Dr. Alister McKenzie on 295 acres of wooded, rolling terrain and contains a 9 1/2-acre lake and stream that creates challenging play on several holes.
