Top 5 College Golf Teams
Many colleges have produced some great golfers, but a few of them have really exceeded the others. I have graduated from the University of Georgia who has produced some great golfers, such as Bubba Watson, who has won 2 Masters tournaments in 3 years. Alabama has went to 3 straight NCAA Men's Golf Championships, winning 2 of them. Augusta State Golf has won back-to-back championships in 2010 and 2011.
