BEVERLY, Mass.-  Heading into the 2015-16 season, the Endicott men's golf program will be looking to reclaim the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) title that eluded them in 2014-15 for the first time in the last four years.  The men begin their season on Thursday, September 3 at the Putterham Meadow Golf Club in Chestnut Hill, Mass. for a tournament hosted by Newbury.  The Gulls will compete in eight invitationals in the fall which are highlighted by the CCC Championship Qualifier on October 8 at the Halifax Country Club and the prestigious three day NEIGA Championships that start on Saturday, October 24.

RETURNING CAST: The 2015-16 squad is a balanced nine man roster that features two freshmen, three sophomores, two juniors and two seniors.  Leading the  team is reigning CCC Golfer of the Year and 2014 PING All-American Honorable Mention honoree Austin Teal (Loudonville, N.Y.).  Joining Teal from last year's CCC Runner-Up performance are returners Alex Viola (Brunswick, Maine), Dan Negus (Pembroke, Mass.), Ben Palazzo (Farmington, Conn.) and Drew Benshoff (Concord, Mass.).

MARK YOUR CALENDAR: After the opening tournament, the Gulls take to the road for the Bowdoin Invitational (Sept. 12-13), Duke Nelson Invitational (Sept. 19-20), and Blazer Invitational (Sept. 26-27) in preparation for the CCC Championship Qualifier at the Halifax Country Club on October 8. 

The last two events of the fall season will be held in Massachusetts as the Gulls travel to Southwick, Mass. to compete in the ECAC DIII New England Championship at The Ranch (Oct. 10-11) and the NEIGA Championship in Brewster, Mass. at The Captains Course (Oct. 24-26).
