JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - North Florida men's golf will make the trip up to Myrtle Beach, S.C., to compete in the General Hackler Championship hosted by Coastal Carolina from Mar. 13-14 at Dunes Golf & Beach Club.

The Ospreys have their sights on four straight top-three finishes to start the spring season. They finished in third at both the Sea Best Invitational and Nexus Championship, as well as runner-ups at the Coral Creek Club Invitational.
Both Lance Yates and Brandon Mancheno will be making their debuts playing for the Ospreys' team this season. They've each competed in multiple tournaments this season as unattached individuals.
