The Southern Maine Community College golf team plays in the Yankee Small College Conference (YSCC) which is a member of the United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA). New Hampshire Technical College (NHTI), University of Maine - Augusta (UMA), Paul Smith's College (PSC) and Bay State Community College (BSCC), also participate in YSCC golf.
The YSCC season takes place in the fall with tournaments hosted by NHTI (Beaver Meadow Golf Club), UMA (Augusta Country Club), SMCC (Purpoodock Club) and the YSCC Championships hosted by BSCC at Pease Country Club. USCAA Nationals are help in the beginning of October in State College, PA.
While the YSCC golf season may be short, the caliper of play in the YSCC is of a high order.
Last season PSC placed first with a team score of 339, NHTI finished second (341) and SMCC placed third (384).
This fall will be my third year as the SMCC coach and there are three goals which we are aiming for: continue the work in creating a team mindset that leads to success on the golf course and in the classroom, continuing the work in creating a team dynamic and culture that is supportive of everyone and encourages everyone to work with focused intensity towards a shared goal (being the best collegiate golfer you can be), and to hit our potential as a highly competitive team this season (shaving 20 - 30 strokes off of the team score should help us bring home first and second place finishes in tournaments).
The SeaWolves will be looking to build on the progress they made last season with a seasoned set of returning golfers (Robert Caron, Sam Winslow, Ethan Leverierre and Chase Locke).
