The Ohio Northern men's golf team continued its winning ways during the 2016-17 campaign as it posted its third consecutive winning season under fourth-year head coach Chad Bucci.

Northern posted a record-setting performance at the Ohio Athletic Conference Championships as seniors Tyler Davis (Liberty Center) and Blaine Ricketts (Belle Center/Ben Logan) earned All-Conference honors to lead Ohio Northern to a fourth place finish at the championships.

Ohio Northern's 54-hole score of 903 was one shot better then the school record 904 set in 2008.

This year the Icon features institutions, both public and private, and one manufacturing facility. There were three homes we couldn't pass up, so they are included, too.
