Despite mixed results throughout the season, the Texas State golf team’s enter their next tournaments with the same objective: to win.

The men’s team will play in the Lone Star Invitational on Texas-San Antonio’s campus and the women will travel to Oklahoma for the OU Susie Maxwell Invitational.

Men’s Coach Shane Howell said the Lone Star Invitational is the team’s toughest tournament thus far.

Cancer is an equalizing disease. It does not care about your race, if you are male or female, rich or poor. Many of us have felt the impact of this deadly disease, whether it is directly through someone we know personally or through the loss of a public icon. There are several varieties of cancer, none less life changing than the other.  However, there are things you can do in your life right now to help reduce the risk of cancer.

The Texas State women’s golf team had three players finish in the top four and won first place as a team at the Johnie Imes Invitational in Columbia, Mo. 

The Bobcats had an 11-stroke lead after day one and finished the tournament 15-over-par with a 879 team score.  Kansas State trailed the Bobcats by  seven strokes and finished in second place.

It is hard for anyone to maintain a busy work or school schedule, and trying to add exercising and eating right makes your week suddenly look like an impossible task. We all know that when we get super busy the first thing out the window is that pledge you made to yourself about losing weight. It does not have to be that way.

After a record setting performance to open the season at the Golfweek Program Challenge, the Texas State men’s and women’s golf teams enter the next tournaments with high expectations.

The men will travel to N.C. State to compete in the Wolfpack Intercollegiate Oct. 3 and 4 and the women will compete at the Mizzou Invitational in Missouri the same days.

Bobcat baseball is gaining a reputation for producing professional athletes.

Former Texas State shortstop Thomas Field was called by the Colorado Rockies Sept. 11, becoming the second former Texas State player to make his MLB debut this year. Paul Goldschmidt, first baseman for the Arizona Diamondbacks, made his debut in August against the San Francisco Giants. 

Texas State Coach Ty Harrington said the two players are similar.

People have tried almost everything in pursuit of weight loss, from falling victim to a celebrity diet to believing old exercise myths. All exercises and diets work to some extent because you’re increasing the amount of calories burned or restricting your food intake.

Texas State golf entered the season by meeting coach and players’ expectations when the men’s team established one record and almost set another.

The men shot a record seven under par the first day of the Golfweek Program Challenge and were two strokes short of an overall 54-hole group record.

The Texas State men and women’s golf teams are ready to tee off.

Men’s head coach Shane Howell and women’s head coach Mike Akers are excited about the depth of talent they have this year.

“This is the most talented team I have had since I have been here at Texas State,” Howell said. “When you have the depth it pushes players to reach their full potential.”

Only five players will travel to tournaments, and the coaches say the depth will make the qualifiers very competitive. Coach Akers says that he expects the best results this year.
