The 2013 Great Lakes Valley Conference Men's Golf Championship will be held at Otter Creek Golf Course in Columbus, Ind., on April 21-23, 2013. This year's event marks the 35th annual GLVC Men's Golf Championship.
The 2013 event will mark the 18th year the GLVC Championship will be played at Otter Creek Golf Course, which will be played on the North and West courses at a par of 72 and 6,897 yards.
The GLVC Championship features a 54-hole stroke play event with the top four teams following stroke play competing in medal/match play to determine the conference champion. A total of 36 holes are played on Sunday, April 21, followed by 18 holes on Monday, April 22. The semifinals and finals of match play will take place on Tuesday, April 23.
Indianapolis has captured 13 GLVC Men’s Golf Championships, followed by Lewis and Northern Kentucky with six each and Bellarmine with five. Southern Indiana, UW-Parkside and former league-member Ashland have all claimed the GLVC Men's Golf Championship once.
Last season, Northern Kentucky won the GLVC Men's Golf Championship at the Paducah Country Club in Paducah, Ky., in dramatic fashion by securing a 3&2 victory over Indianapolis on the final hole. The Greyhounds actually outscored the Norse 295-304, but the first-ever medal/match play format provided NKU the opportunity to take home its sixth and final GLVC title as they reclassified as NCAA Division I members this year. In semifinal action, No. 1 NKU defeated No. 4 Rockhurst 4-1, while No. 2 Indianapolis topped No. 3 Bellarmine, 4-1, to advance to the finals. NKU's Corey Richmond was named GLVC Champion after carding rounds of 77-74-73 to finish a 8-over-par 224 over the two-day affair.
The top five finishers at the GLVC Men's Golf Championship are named All-GLVC and the top finishing individual after 54-hole medal play earns medalist honors. The remaining golf awards, including All-Conference positions Nos. 6-10, as well as GLVC Player, Freshman, and Coach of the Year, are named following the spring season.
Admission to the 2013 GLVC Men's Golf Championship is free to the public.
