Midland College head golf coach Walt Williams was in the parking lot Tuesday evening at Ranchland Hills Golf Club in Midland, Texas, getting ready to head home after a 36-hole day at his team’s home tournament, the TankLogix Collegiate, when he spotted Tyler James, a young first-year coach at University of the Southwest, loading up his team van.
Of the 10 schools teeing it up, James’ squad, which also included four members of the women’s program playing a separate four-team event on the same course, was the only team, Williams said, not to be staying in a nearby hotel.
