FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 1, 2006 Men's golf team adds Carl Junction's Eddy JOPLIN, Mo. - Missouri Southern State University's men's golf team has added another incoming freshman to its roster for the 2006-07 season, head coach Kevin Greim announced recently. David Eddy, a four-year letterwinner in golf from Carl Junction (Mo.) High School, has signed a national letter of intent with the Lions. "David is as talented a golfer as there is in the area," Greim said. "We have to have guys who have the ability to score at the top of a particular field and he proved that at state. Without doing anything really remarkable he was able to put up the best number of the field in the second day of the tournament (75) and could have been three or four shots lower by simply hitting some better wedges." Eddy finished his career as the 2006 conference and district champion for the Bulldogs of coach Lance Robbins. He was a three-time all-conference and all-district performer as well. Eddy ended his CJHS career with his name alongside several school records. He set the season records for both 9- and 18-hole scoring averages at 37 and 72 strokes per round, respectively. He also holds the school record for 9-hole score (32) and 18-hole score (69). Eddy, the son of Michael and Anita Eddy - both MSSU graduates - joins Adam Nelson (Parsons, Kan./Labette County HS) as the most recent additions to the MSSU golf team. "The bottom line is that both he and Adam Nelson have a chance to be very good at our level and they both love it enough to really work at it," Greim said. "We're happy to have them." Last month, the Lion men's golf team turned in a fourth-place finish in both the MIAA Tournament and the MIAA regular season standings. Southern also finished the season with its fifth consecutive NCAA postseason tournament appearance and finished fifth in the NCAA Division II Central Regional in Crest Hill, Ill.
