FORT WORTH, Texas - TCU head men's golf coach Bill Montigel announced on Monday the Horned Frogs' 2009-10 schedule, which will feature one of the most difficult and challenging campaigns in TCU men's golf history.
"We have an impressive schedule for the 2009-10 season that will test our team against the best programs in the country in every tournament," said Montigel. "This is a schedule that our players are very excited about, and a schedule that they wanted to play to test their own abilities. I think this speaks very highly of our guys that they want to play the best-of-the-best in every tournament."
