University Club Golf Association

Last time we hosted the UC Cup:

- Coach O was head coach of LSU football
- ChatGPT hadn’t been invented
- UC pro shop and “restaurant” were operating from single trailer (new pro shop and remodeled clubhouse incomplete)
- TikTok was only 2 years old
- Scottie Scheffler began year ranked #31 in world
- Drake was Billboard’s Top Artist of Year (35 Hot 100 songs)
- Kim Mulkey had never coached a game for Lady Tigers (now 116-15 at LSU with National Title)
- Jay Johnson had never coached a baseball game at LSU (now 190-77 with 2 National Championships)
- Twitter hadn’t been renamed X
- LIV Golf didn’t exist (20 players from final top 50 that year later left for LIV)
- Current college freshmen hadn’t started high school
- Drew Brees threw final TD pass, #571 (2nd most all time)
- And Milli Vanilli hadn’t yet been exposed for lip syncing

Just kidding about last one (that was 1989). But for first time since 2021, UCGA is hosting UC Cup, pitting Purple vs. Gold for bragging rights and team supremacy.

Former UCGA President Tim Melancon will captain Team Purple, along with Vice Captains Greg Berthelot and John Schiller. Current President Chase Trichell will lead Team Gold with assistance from Vice Captains Billy Joe Tolliver and BG Lanoix.

Pairings reveal party will take place in clubhouse the Friday night before tourney. All participants will play 5 matches of 9 holes each (18 Saturday, 27 Sunday). You do not want to miss this one…

🟡🟣 AS ONE OF MOST SPIRITED EVENTS OF YEAR, SPACE IS EXTREMELY LIMITED – SO SIGN UP ON FORETEES BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE! 🟣🟡

3 months before LSU kicked off its undefeated season leading to 1958 National Championship, another champion was born “Down Da Bayou”… UC’s own Tim Melancon. And Tim shares MUCH in common with fellow athlete Billy Cannon, including a flare for the dramatic finish.

On his 67th birthday yesterday, Uncle T won the 2025 Super Senior Baton Rouge Open by ONE stroke over a stacked field, carding consecutive rounds of 70 to finish -4 through 36 holes.

Tim mowed down the defending champ, who had a 2-shot lead after an opening 68. Uncle T also warded off other UC legends, including Lindsay Spiller (3rd), Scott Haynie (T5th), Frank Schroeder (9th), and Ken Miller (11th).

CONGRATS TO THESE GENTLEMEN FOR REPPING UC SO ADMIRABLY. YOUR CLUB IS PROUD! 🏆 👏

💜💚🦅🚨MARDI GRAS ACE ALERT🚨🦅💚💜

Congrats are in order (as are copious libations) for Billy Joe "Pawpaw" Tolliver, who holed the 171-yard 13th with a 7-iron today. This makes a dozen hole-in-ones for BJT, who has clearly played too many rounds of golf in his lifetime. Billy Joe's 12th hole-in-one breaks his previous personal record of 11 (and we suspect his 13th will likewise set a new career-high).

The other 3 individuals pictured had absolutely nothing to do with the hole-in-1️⃣ and you are to operate as though they have been rightfully cropped out.

GEAUX JEAUX! 🎯 And good luck on that bar tab 🎭
