Men's golf opens at Bluffton this weekend

The Ohio Northern men's golf team will look to post its fourth consecutive winning season in 2017-18 under the guidance of fifth-year head coach Chad Bucci.

The Polar Bears posted a 49-33-1 record during the 2016-17 campaign and finished fourth at the Ohio Athletic Conference Championships.

Bucci welcomes back nine letterwinners to the team in 2017-18.

"It's going to be tough filling what was the heart and soul of this team for four years," said head coach Chad Bucci. "Blaine [Ricketts] and Tyler [Anderson] were part of many school records and were a big part of our success."

"This years incoming class has some promise," said Bucci. "They are a good group of guys and will hopefully be a part of helping us continue to be succesful."

Northern opens its fall schedule at the Bluffton Fall Invitational on Sept. 1-2, before competing at the Ohio Dominican Fall Invitational on Sept. 5.

After traveling to Wauseon to compete in the Spiess Invitational on Sept. 12, Northern will compete at the 2-day OAC Fall Invitational on Sept. 17-18.

Northern will wrap the fall portion of the schedule as it competes in the Defiance Fall Invitational on Sept. 24 and the Defiance Yellow Jacket Invitational on Oct. 19-20.
