The
Monarchs have produced 34 players who have finished in the top 10
of the conference championships with four players earning the MAC Individual
Title, including Jim Kettrick in 1996 and Leo Yerashunas
in 1997.
King's also served as past host of the MAC Championships for 17
years until the 2003-04 season and instituted the first Glenmaura
National Collegiate Invitational, which annually brings the the top teams from District
2 of the NCAA together for an outstanding two-day event.
King's
has received tremendous support over the years from the Anthracite
Golf Association which has sponsored several tournaments.
The team's schedule consists primarily of tournaments and triangular
and quadrangular meets. A fall schedule, which includes several
tournaments, helps the team prepare for their challenging spring slate.
In 2007, the MAC championship tournament was split into two separate
conference tournaments - the Freedom and the Commonwealth conference
tournaments. This split to separate conference was done when the
NCAA began to sward conference championship teams automatic berths
into the NCAA Division III National Tournament. King's, which
competes in the Freedom Conference, now sees a greater opportunity
for the team to qualify for Division III national tournament play.
King's golfers have also performed well in the classroom. Since
1998, a total of 28 Monarch golfers have been named to the MAC All-Academic
Team.
King's home course is the Wyoming Valley Country Club,
a par 72, 6,391-yard course, where the Monarchs practice in the fall
and the spring seasons. The positive longstanding relationship between
King's and WVCC has been a major reason the Monarchs have fielded such
competitive teams over the years.
