Dan Starzinski and his teammates had already played their first two tournaments of the spring and were supposed to start their third in mid-March at the Arizona NIT on the campus of the University of Arizona. But shortly after their plane touched down in Tucson, they all learned that wasn’t going to happen.
“(UW men’s golf coach) Joe (Jensen) kind of brought us together for a team meeting in baggage claim,” Starzinski recalled. “He basically told us to go home and that the tournament wasn’t going to happen. Right after that, everything kind of just escalated. It went from one tournament being canceled to the rest of the season being canceled.
