The second in our series of profiles of local college golf programs. Todd Hummel, head coach of the Canisius College men’s golf team<\/a>, completed our questionaire, and we thank him for it.<\/p>\n

1. What does your program provide that is unique to college golf?<\/p>\n

The best part of college golf is that it is a way to be part of a team while earning your degree!\u00a0 I would say that it is not about the coach and more about the program in which the coach runs.\u00a0 Our program has and will continue to improve while graduating players to great jobs and furthering their education in medical schools.\u00a0 We continue to recruit the best local players and look forward to assist these players to be successful out of school.<\/em><\/p>\n

2. Where does your team have practice access and what does this course access contribute to your program?<\/p>\n

We have an agreement to use Brierwood Country Club and Harvest Hill Golf Course.\u00a0 The practice facility at Harvest Hill is tremendous for short game and for the most part that is what my players need.\u00a0 Coming off summer the fall season is mainly geared in keeping the short game solid.<\/em><\/p>\n

3. What fitness\/non-golf activities do you employ and how do they make your team members better, fitter golfers?<\/p>\n

We have a Strength and Conditioning Coach here at Canisius and he works with the guys over the off-season to keep up flexibility and core strength.\u00a0 In addition to cardio work the team maintains a very good level of fitness.<\/em><\/p>\n

4. What short-term goals do you have for your team and how will you reach them?<\/p>\n

The team goal is to compete for the MAAC Conference Championships each and every year.<\/em><\/p>\n

5. How much does a player’s potential go into the recruiting process?<\/p>\n

Recruiting is the attempt to get the best possible player that we can get!\u00a0 This process means that you look at both potential and current abilities.\u00a0 Normally we are looking at whether they have it or not by the time they are a junior in high school.\u00a0 This usually means that we are predicting that they will choose to make every attempt in continuing to improve.\u00a0 So yes, potential is a factor.<\/em><\/p>\n

6. What factor do golfing alumni play in your program?<\/p>\n

Alumni can be a great asset to a program like golf.\u00a0 The donations made to the program aid in doing the extra things to improve the team.<\/em><\/p>\n

7. Golf is an individual sport that is played in team format at the collegiate level. How do you balance players’ individual and team goals?<\/p>\n

While it is a team sport individual goals lead to a team outcome.\u00a0 Each player should have goals.\u00a0 When those goals are reached then the team will benefit from those goals.\u00a0 When they are not met, then the team outcomes are not met as well.\u00a0 Each player needs to find a way to keep the focus and make every shot count.\u00a0 This will lead to good team results.<\/em><\/p>\n

8. How does the weather affect your training program during the winter?\u00a0 How do you combat it?<\/p>\n

The weather is pretty critical in the Northeast.\u00a0 We do use the golf domes in the area and even if it is not ideal the repetitions that this practice makes helps us get the rust off fairly quickly in the spring.<\/em><\/p>\n

9. What areas of the country are your key recruiting areas?<\/p>\n

I look at the entire state of NEW YORK but focus on the Western region of New York which includes Rochester and with some emphasis in Canada as well. <\/em><\/p>\n

10.\u00a0 What element besides weather could make collegiate golf in western New York better\/How can the existing programs work together to make better college golf in WNY?<\/p>\n

Western New York is a very good golf area.\u00a0 I think that improved quality indoor practice areas would benefit the college golf community the best.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
