Cougars to compete in seven regular-season events starting Jan. 25 before beginning postseason play
HOUSTON – The University of Houston Men's Golf program will begin its 2021 spring season on Jan. 25 in the first of seven regular-season tournaments, Director of Golf Jonathan Dismuke announced Wednesday.
The Cougars' 2020 fall schedule was wiped out due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Now in his 12th season with the Cougars, Dismuke welcomes eight letterwinners from the 2019-20 team, which posted back-to-back Top-3 team finishes to start the fall season a year ago.
Senior Luke Long led the Cougars with a 70.71 scoring average and 15 rounds of par or better. The Fayetteville, Ark., native earned a season-best third-place finish at the White Sands Invitational in November 2019 and was named to the 2020 PING All-Central Region Team.
Senior Logan Young finished second on the team with a 72.18 scoring average and added eight rounds of par or better. The Normangee, Texas, native fired a career-best and bogey-free 65 during the Final Round of the Trinity Forest Invitational in Dallas on Sept. 24, 2019.
Senior Matt Cole tied with Young for team-low honors with a 65 in the Second Round of the Trinity Forest Invitational and finished second on the team with a pair of Top-10 showings.
THE SCHEDULE
Houston begins competition when it tees off at the Rice Shootout at Westwood Golf Club on Jan. 25.
From there, the Cougars play host to the All-American Intercollegiate on Feb. 14-16 at Golf Club of Houston in Humble, Texas. It will be the first of four tournaments Houston hosts during the 2021 season.

Houston will face Abilene Christian, Arkansas State, Bowling Green, Eastern Michigan, Houston Baptist, Illinois State, Kent State, Little Rock, Louisiana, Michigan, New Mexico State, Rice, Sam Houston State, Texas, ULM and UTSA.
The Cougars open the month of March at the Cabo Collegiate on March 1-3 at TPC San Antonio in San Antonio, Texas.
Houston then heads to Florida to host the Valspar Collegiate Invitational on March 15-16. Annually one of the nation's premier collegiate tournaments, the two-day, 54-hole event will be held at Floridian National Golf Club in Palm City, Fla.
Houston teams with Rice and Sam Houston State to host the Bayou City Collegiate Classic on April 5-6 at Westwood Golf Club in Houston before closing out the regular season on April 9-11 at the Aggie Invitational at Traditions Club in Bryan, Texas.
