Country Club Update - Championship Edition

The SEC Tennis Tournament begins for Georgia's teams today, in Auburn for the guys and Fayetteville for the girls.  The girls are living up to the Georgia tradition of tennis excellence.  They won the regular season crown and enjoy the #1 seed for the tournament.  With a win, coach Jeff Wallace will grab his third consecutive SEC Tournament title.  Freshman Chelsey Gullickson has played the #1 court this year and rarely lost.  She was named All-SEC, along with six other Dawgs, and tabbed as the SEC Freshman of the Year.  They face Alabama at 9:30 this morning.
The guys had a "disappointing" regular season only when compared with the last couple of years.  A narrow 4-3 loss at Ole Miss put the Dawgs behind the Rebs in the conference standings and Ole Miss never faltered, going perfect in league play.  Only that single court proved the difference in the SEC race.  Georgia didn't lose another match all season either and extended its home court winning streak to 60 matches.  For a team picked to place third in the East, that's not a disappointment at all.  The team has gutted out some exciting matches and considering the type of players we lost from last season, it's been a wondrous year.  The Dawgs are the two seed in Auburn and face Auburn this afternoon at 4 PM.
On the other side of the country club, the men's golf team was rated #1 most of the year and looked it at last week's SEC championship tournament.  The golfers destroyed the field on Saturday and Sunday, beating runner-up Arkansas by 13 strokes.  All five of UGA's golfers ended in the top 15.  The girls, didn't fare as well, finishing sixth.  Freshman Marta Silva Zamora won the tournament's individual title, the eighth Georgia golfer to do so.

actually it was the doubles that cost the men, they've sucked there all season...

I think he meant "just one, single, solitary" court cost them and not a "singles" court.

Actually, they are 8-3 on doubles in SEC play. Just as I say that, we dropped the doubles point to Auburn.
