Goodbyes and hellos on CACC's Trojan Golf team

Under the guidance of Coach Dave Jennings,  CACC Golf Team members Dawson Farni, Ken Goforth, Tanner Guthrie, Jarod Edwards and Hayden Carner rank second in the nation.

I am very pleased to share with you the success that our Central Alabama Community College Trojan Golf Team has realized this 2021 fall season. The boys started the year in letting a 36-hole lead slide through our fingers to finish in second place at the Wallace State Dan York Memorial Tournament. At the time it happened, I was disappointed. When we returned, we talked about what happened and worked extremely hard. Since that first tournament loss, CACC Golf has won each of the following four tournaments and launched our national rankings to second in the NJCAA, third in Golfstat and fourth in the Bushnell/Golfweek polls. 

After all the years here, I still get excited in the successes of the team and for my players. This fall, along with the four-tournament team wins, we also had two individual wins. Hayden Carner won in Decatur at Burningtree Country Club, and Tanner Guthrie won in Jasper at Musgrove Country Club. This was crazy: In a NCAA D-2 event in September, CACC crushed the one-day low team total in all of college golf records in shooting 29 under par in a single round, in counting the four best scores of five players.
