ABOUT THIS PROJECT

Delaware Men’s Golf has had some early season success this fall as they prepare for their spring championship season. They finished second among a 12-team field at the Temple Invitational in September and have strung together some good performances. They have their eyes set on conference championships, where they hope to better their rookie season in Conference USA. The team also continues to shine in the classroom, where they were recognized with the Platform Golf Team Academic Award with President's Special Recognition after posting an astounding 3.67 average team GPA last spring. Earlier this year, the team set a program record with six NCAA Divison I Cobalt Golf All-America Scholars. We look forward to seeing all they continue to accomplish on the course and in the classroom!

THE IMPACT OF YOUR SUPPORT 

Your support of Delaware Men’s Golf ensures our men’s golf student-athletes have the resources they need to have an exceptional student-athlete experience and to achieve success in the classroom, on the course and in the community. Donations support nutrition services, sports medicine needs, equipment, leadership development, career readiness programming and more for these student-athletes.

Donor support helps fund key resources such as the EliteForm camera system and Hawkin Force Plates subscriptions. The EliteForm camera system is located in the weight room and measures how fast each athlete moves the bar on every rep. Strength coaches adjust each workout to the individual, and athletes can see their progress rep by rep. This data is complemented by the Hawkin Force Plates, which measure the force and power behind every jump. A quick jump test tells staff whether an athlete is fresh or fatigued. It also flags when one leg produces more force than the other and shows each athlete which parts of their training to focus on. Over time, it tracks their strength and power gains. These tools are incredibly useful in reducing the risk of injury.
