The Thundering Herd Golf team has finished in the top five in events three or more times this season.  With its most recent event finished on Oct. 21, the Herd does not play again until Nov. 1 at the Hummingbird Intercollegiate.

The Hummingbird Intercollegiate at West Carolina.  The Herd had its most recent top five finish Oct. 19, so there have been a couple of weeks since then.

Head Coach Matt Grobe said that the team will not have an issue staying focused after the break because of the kids.

"Well, I think the real key for us is having the right kids on the team", Grobe said.

The off time is not uncommon for the Herd; however, from Oct. 7 to Oct. 19 it did not play either. The Herd finished in the top seven in the Oct. 7 event in Cincinnati, then the Oct. 19 event at Old Dominion the Herd finished in the top five for the third time this season.

Grobe said that this is usual for the team to play well out of break.

"We have a great group of guys on the team that work really hard," Grobe said. "So we actually usually come out of the off week better than we were before".

With the break for the Herd being about half way through, Saturday’s Hunningbird Intercollegiate on Nov. 1. is coming up.
