"I am so grateful for Summit Golf Brands to step up and choose to be our Official clothier for the Men’s team," says Team USA Head Coach Dave Jennings, who will be assisted by Jeff Grieble, the head coach at St. Ambrose University.
At least 22 countries with 11-player Men’s and 11-player Women’s teams are expected to compete in the four-day Men’s and Women’s Individual and Team stroke-play competition at beautiful Antequera Golf Club. Practice rounds are scheduled for June 6 and 7, when the opening ceremonies will be held. Following the four days of Individual and Team stroke-play competition, the event concludes on June 11 with the closing ceremonies.
Antequera Golf Club is a spectacular, demanding 6,562-yard course that’s surrounded by El Torcal, a stunning mountain park. The layout features olive and acorn trees, and natural herb plants that reflect inland Andalusia’s special character.
"The World University Games are something special," says Jennings, who is the Men’s golf coach at Central Alabama Community College in Alexander City, Alabama. "It’s a trip of a lifetime for me, and for Team USA’s young men and women competitors, who will have their work cut out for them."
