Random facts, the final episode of Quantum Leap had the main character, "Sam", leap into August 8, 1953. At the newsstand that week, Time magazine (August 3 edition) had Allen W. Dulles on the cover. Dulles was the first civilian director of the CIA. The Boeing "Triple Seven" is 3 feet shorter in height than the Boeing 747. Novelist John Grisham graduated from Mississippi State. SEC men.

This week we look at Power 5 college golf program rosters and their respective junior rankings. Here are the men of the SEC.

Georgia has won a conference-best 29 conference titles, nearly doubling LSU (16) who has the second most. Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and LSU have all claimed NCAA team national titles with LSU's 2015 squad being the most recent. Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, and Vanderbilt all participated in last year's National Championship at Grayhawk, with Vanderbilt making match play.

(Begin cut/paste)
You will see below the players, their college class (which, with the Covid-19 extra year...makes this very fluid), and their hometown which I would say are self-explanatory, but perhaps I should circle back to the "Class" column. This is what the schools have listed. SR+ indicates a player who should exhaust their playing eligibility following the 2021-22 season. You could see some "SR" play next year, too...again, Covid has made this difficult to follow.

The next columns might need some more explanation. The "Jr Class" column is the player's high school graduation class year. "Rank Date" indicates (roughly) the date of each ranking used. For instance, 6/2017 is June 2017 rankings. I am showing rankings for June 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 as well as WAGR rankings from mid-November of 2021. WAGR equals World Amateur Golf Rankings. This is the ranking used by the USGA and R&A. (Note: US Junior WAGR rankings began to decline in 2020 with the Power Method changes the R&A and USGA made to their ranking). JGS is Junior Golf Scoreboard class rankings, not overall, but class. AJGA is the Rolex/AJGA class ranking. And GW are...yep, the Golfweek class rankings. Those are the 3 rankings coaches and tournaments use. (I am frequently asked my opinion on which is the best ranking system. But, in my opinion, you really have to look at all 3. They all have some positives and negatives. Although, Lance Ringler with Golfweek does make a strong case why points-based rankings are inferior...but I'm not going to go into that).

Enjoy. (End cut/paste. Yes, I meant to leave these notes)
