On Thursday, March 2, 2006, the Central Valley Conference Men's Golf season began at the Central Valley Conference Mini-Tournament in Fresno, California. The event was held at the Fig Garden GC in Fresno, with five teams participating.
The Pirate's completed a successful pre-season schedule and headed into CVC play as one of the favorites for the league title. Their fierce competition has always been Fresno City Junior College and that was no different during the opening conference tournament. Keith Rodriguez led the Fresno City Rams with an individual score of 69 and the team took first place in the first Central Valley Conference tournament of 2006 by shooting a 372.
Modesto Junior College placed 2nd in the tournament behind the Rams, with a score of 379. Ben Van Buren of Modesto JC, shot a 1-over-par, with an individual score of 73. Chris Glynn and Daniel Indelicato, a freshman from Beyer High School, both shot scores of 76.
On Tuesday, March 7, 2006, the second Central Valley Conference mini-tournament was held in Visalia at the Valley Oak Course, a par 72. The result of the event was similar to that of the Fresno Tournament in the previous week.
Fresno City claimed their second straight CVC tournament win with a team score of 373. Modesto JC finished 15 strokes behind the Rams, with a very respectable score of 388. Van Buren led the Pirates for the second straight week with a score of 75.
MJC had all five of their golfers shoot in the 70's, with Indelicato and Kyle Hucknell tallying a 77, and Glynn and Ben Martinez producing 79's.
The next Central Valley Conference tournament is on Thursday, March 9, in Modesto. After hosting the mini-tournament on March 9, the competition will continue on Tuesday, March 14 at College of Sequoias.
