WEST LAFAYETTE, Indiana – Coming off a seventh-place finish at Irish Creek last week, the Hoosiers enter the homestretch of the season by making a trip to Northern Indiana for the Boilermaker Invitational this weekend hosted by Purdue University at the Kampen Course.
This is the 15th edition of the tournament and this will mark the 14th appearance for the Hoosiers (did not compete in 2011). IU has come away with the team title on two occasions (2006, 2012) and have finished in the top five on eight separate occasions. Individually, Jorge Campillo captured medalist honors in 2006 and 2008 while Jeff Overton took home a second-place finish in 2005.
Weather forecasts for the weekend do not look promising, with rain and possible storms predicted for most of the day on Saturday and into Sunday. Updates on any schedule adjustments will be posted on Twitter (@IndianaMGolf) first.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVES IU GOLF COURSE RENOVATION PROJECT
On Oct. 6, 2017, the Indiana University Board of Trustees approved the design for the Indiana University Golf Course Renovation, which includes a new clubhouse and entirely new course layout.
The redesigned golf course, which will include a new clubhouse and driving range, will feature new hole layouts that challenge beginning through advanced golfers. The course also will be revitalized by returning part of the current course to native landscape, including the addition of about 70 acres of new trees, shrubs and other plantings to replace and augment dead or diseased trees. Golfers will be able to choose from several tee box locations and the greens will be designed for the approach shots of many skill levels. The par 71 course has a maximum yardage of about 7,700 yards and a minimum of about 4,500 yards, depending upon the tee location selected.
View Hole-By-Hole Layout
The new clubhouse with cart storage and an attached outdoor covered pavilion will be located near the Indiana University Foundation, along with the driving range. The clubhouse will include visual references to the campus including stone accents and an exterior clock with details reminiscent of the Frances Morgan Swain Student Building tower clock. The interior will include a golf shop, Alumni Hall, space to showcase the history of IU Golf, casual dining and snack bar, and public restrooms/locker rooms.
"We could not be more excited and thankful about today's approval," said Indiana Men's Golf head coach Mike Mayer. "There are numerous people that have put many long hours into this process to this point and we cannot thank them enough. This course will be a game-changer for Indiana University and our program."
