Golf Association seeks members
Texas A&M University-Kingsville (TAMUK) has a new club for students who are golf enthusiasts or looking to build new friendships through sport.
The club is called the TAMUK Golf Association and it began this fall and is already filling up with members.
The members of the TAMUK Golf Association are all from many different backgrounds and cities who are looking to be more involved within the university while building friendships.
There was no golf representation at TAMUK prior to the Golf Association and the Student Recreation Center did not provide golf as an intramural sport.
Many of the students noted that the university has a women’s golf team, but there is nothing for non-athletes to participate in golf.
Golf Association President Dylan Andrade is a senior here at TAMUK. Andrade is a kinesiology sports business major who is finishing his last two semesters.
“Our goal is for members to meet new people and build friendships that last beyond our college days,” Andrade said.
As president Andrade plans to leave a legacy at Kingsville by starting up the new Golf Association and leaving it behind for students to carry on for years to come.
The TAMUK Golf Association is “hoping to give every one of their members an opportunity to compete in tournaments and grow the game of golf,” Andrade said.
As the club is relatively new all members are welcome.
The current members made it a point to say that they are an inclusive organization and are welcoming to all people.
Members say they are open to ideas on how to make the TAMUK Golf Association the best it can be.
For those interested in joining, the meetings are held twice a month at
L.E. Ramey Golf Course. The Golf Association plans to play different style matches or in local tournaments depending on how many people join.
Anyone of any classification or major is welcome.
