ALPHARETTA, Ga. - The No. 8/17 Tennessee men's golf team is set to compete in the Golf Club of Georgia Collegiate for its final contest of the fall.
The Vols are set to play three total rounds—teeing off with 18 holes on Friday, followed by 18 holes apiece on Saturday and Sunday.
The tournament, which is in its 18th year of existence, is set to be held at the Golf Club of Georgia's Lakeside Course. The par-72, 7,092-yard course is ranked 24th in the state of Georgia by Golf Digest. The most picturesque portion of the course are holes 11 through 14 as they play alongside majestic Lake Windward, offering views rarely seen at private golf clubs in North Atlanta.
The Vols are coming off a fifth-place finish at the Fighting Irish classic, as Lance Simpson registered his third-consecutive top-five showing.
This marks the fifth time under head coach Brennan Webb that Tennessee will compete in the event.
WHERE THE WEBB AND BO SHOW STARTED: Tennessee associate head coach Bo Andrews played  at Georgia Tech from 2010-2014 as Webb served as an assistant (2012-14) and associate head coach (2014-15) with the Yellow Jackets. In his time at Georgia Tech, Andrews notched two top-10 finishes at the Golf Club of Georgia Collegiate.
