Behind the likes of Russell Otten and Nolan Zikas, the 2017-18 Concordia men's golf team has hopes of moving up the conference standings. The Bulldogs open their season Sept. 1 at the Midland Invite.
Nolan Zikas is a winner. In life. On the course. Said Zikas, "I enjoy being an inspiration. I like telling my story. I want kids to know that they can overcome this."
Concordia men's golf brings back each of its top five players from a year ago, including Reid Wiebe and inspirational Nolan Zikas.
Consider Concordia junior Reid Wiebe the Happy Gilmore of GPAC golfers. No, Wiebe does not stutter step his way into his tee shot, but his powerful drives are enough to make Shooter McGavin jealous. Wiebe attacks par fives with the tenacity of a Seward squirrel on an acorn.
Both Concordia golf programs continued their ascent in the league standings in 2014-15. Now in his fifth season, head coach Brett Muller expects his squads to produce even better results throughout the 2015-16 campaign.
