HOUSTON – Due to the severe winter weather expected to affect much of the South this weekend and into early next week, Houston men's golf has postponed the All-American Intercollegiate, which UT Arlington was scheduled to compete in this coming Sunday-Tuesday (Feb. 14-16).
Temperatures are expected to fall into the teens with ice and wintry mix being possible throughout the Houston area in the coming days.
The Cougars are attempting to potentially reschedule the event at the Golf Club of Houston sometime in March.
One of the better fields in collegiate golf, the Mavericks would have teed it up against the following teams, in addition to Houston: Baylor, Georgia State, Lamar, Louisiana, Louisville, New Mexico, New Mexico State, North Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Rice, Sam Houston State, Texas, Texas A&M, ULM and UTSA.
As things currently stand, UTA will now begin its 2021 spring season at SMU's Trinity Forest Invitational at Trinity Forest Golf Club in Dallas Mar. 7-9.

THE NEW HOME OF UTA GOLF: Texas Rangers Golf Club
The recently-opened state-of-the-art Texas Rangers Golf Club is the new home of the UT Arlington's men's and women's golf programs. The world's only Major League Baseball-branded golf course, TRGC is the result of a $24 million renovation and updated routing of the former Chester W. Ditto Golf Course at Brown Boulevard and Collins Street, just a few miles north of UTA's campus. The Home of UTA Golf was designed by UTA alumni John Colligan and Trey Kemp of Arlington-based Colligan Golf Design. It features an expansive 23-acre practice area, and a new 33,871-square-foot clubhouse – set to open in early 2020 – will feature a full-service restaurant and bar, covered patio overlooking the golf course, pro shop, locker rooms and numerous rental and event spaces.
