Following the event, Georgia Southern will have two days off before hosting the 4th Schenkel Invitational at Forest Heights Country Club on March 13-15.
ABOUT THE PLANTATION COURSE AT SEA ISLAND:
A historic course for a historic resort, Plantation is a classic design that brings back some traditional features and character: bulkheads, railroad ties, the Principal's Nose on #10 green, a punch bowl green on #13. And a few of Travis' chocolate drops here and there. Fewer bunkers, a more open feel. Strategically interesting, with a challenging finishing hole. But since this is a course that keeps playability top of mind for all levels, there's always a way. Along with the neighboring Seaside Course, it is the home of the PGA TOUR's RSM Classic, a FedEx cup event hosted by Davis Love III.
