After a month away from competition, Northeast Mississippi Community College men's golf team will step back into Mississippi Association of Community/Junior Colleges (MACJC) action when the Tigers take to Eagle Ridge Golf Club on March 2-3.

In the season opener on February 2-3 at Diamondhead Country Club's Pine Course, Northeast finished eighth with a two-day 696 after firing identical 348s at the season-opening event.

After the second MACJC tour stop, Northeast will wait until after the Spring Break holidays to hit the links again as the Tigers head to Wolf Hollow Golf Course for a one-day, 36-hole event on March 17.

First year head coach Nick Coln's crew returns to north Mississippi for its fourth tour stop of the year when the Tigers make the short trek over to Southaven and Olive Branch on March 25-26.

On March 25, the Tigers will play an 18-hole affair at the North Creek Golf Club before heading over to Wedgewood Golf Course in Olive Branch on March 26 to wrap up the two-day event.

Northeast's fifth Mississippi Association of Community/Junior Colleges (MACJC) tour stop of the year will see the Tigers stay above the Interstate 20 corridor as Coln and company head to East Mississippi for two days on the Mississippi State University Golf Course in Starkville April 7-8.

Following its tour stop on April 7-8, the Tigers will have a week to prepare for the MACJC State Tournament hosted by Jones County Junior College.

This year's state tournament is slated for April 14-15 at Dixie Golf Course in Laurel with the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Region XXIII Tournament following the next week on the Azaleas Golf Course at the Dancing Rabbit Golf Club in Philadelphia.
