Dalton State golf coach Ben Rickett wants his players to play in tournaments with quality competition this summer.
The Roadrunners will get it this weekend.
Not only will they be competing against their coach, who played for the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, but they’ll face a field in the North Georgia Invitational that includes 31 golfers with handicaps of zero or better.
“If you’re a plus-0.2, you’re not one of the top 20 players,” said Dalton Golf and Country Club head professional Russ Alstum. “It’s going to be rocking and rolling. The course is set up to go low.
“But they have to go through Noll first.”
