The 18-hole course at Argyle Country Club, which has a reputation for being one of the area's best maintained courses, features 6,500 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 71. Opened in 1945, Argyle Country Club has hosted numerous championships, including Maryland State Open and Maryland State Women's Amateur, and has served as a qualifying site for the U.S. Senior Open, U.S. Senior Women's Amateur, U.S. Amateur, U.S. Junior Amateur, U.S.G.A. Four-Ball and U.S. Open.
 
Maryland Eastern Shore’s last outing was the Aggie Invitational in Greensboro, N.C. at the end of March. Freshman Logan Kiley had the Hawks’ best score of the event, posting a 247 over three rounds. Junior Thabang Moephuli followed him with a 248 in the event, while freshman Michael Davis had the squad's best individual round in round three, when he posted a 79 (+7).
 
At the same event, North Carolina Central junior Daniel Barbare tied for runner-up on the individual leaderboard and led the Eagles to a tie for fourth place in the team standings. Barbare, the reigning MEAC Golfer of the Month, posted scores of 74, 74 and 78 to tie with Landon Johnstone of Texas Southern for second place at 10-over-par (226).
 
Another highlight of the Eagles’ outing was senior Jesper Gullstrand’s hole-in-one on the 208-yard 12^th hole, which was the first hole-in-one registered in the NCCU men's golf records book.
 
Howard wrapped up regular-season competition this past weekend at the Princeton Invitational, a three-round, two-day event that took place at the Springdale Golf Club in Princeton, N.J. The Bison finished tied for 10^th overall and shot 8-over par (296) in the final round. Seniors Everett Whiten, Jr. and Gregory Odom led the way with top 10 finishes.
