Vanderbilt Men’s Golf Releases 2004-05 Schedule Vanderbilt Head Coach Press McPhaul has announced the schedule for the 2004-05 men’s golf campaign. Once again the Black & Gold will face a challenging slate, highlighted by VU’s hosting of the Mason Rudolph Championship over Sept. 27-28. Overall the schedule includes five fall and five spring events before culminating with Southeastern Conference Tournament and NCAA postseason play. “In my opinion, 2004-05 will provide the most challenging schedule we’ve ever had here at Vanderbilt,” said Commodore head coach Press McPhaul. “Last season we played against the 27th-best schedule in the nation. I believe this year will provide an even greater challenge for our team. The continued increase in the level of competition each year speaks to where we currently stand as a program and to what we wish to attain as we continue the climb towards a national championship.” The Black & Gold open their 2004-05 campaign against a strong field at the Carpet Capital Collegiate Classic in Rocky Face, Ga. over Sept. 17-19, before returning to Nashville to host the Mason Rudolph Championship at the Legends Club of Tennessee (Sept. 27-28).
