….or Iowa Hawkeye Golf is headed in the wrong direction. As far as golf goes, this is definately a Cyclone State.

We all know Barrett in Michigan. I’m a true blue Michigan wolverine becoming a hawkeye.

I was only making a positive comment about Hawkeye golf. I think ISU has some fine players too.

Are the amateur payouts gift certificates or what?

Gift certificates at DMG & CC

don’t appologize for Iowa State, they have certainly earned the right to be bad in every sport.
