The Atlantic Coast Conference
Consistency. It is the mark of true excellence in any endeavor. However, in today’s intercollegiate athletics, competition has become so balanced and so competitive that it is virtually impossible to maintain a high level of consistency.
Yet the Atlantic Coast Conference has defied the odds. Now in its 57th year of competition, the ACC has long enjoyed the reputation as one of the strongest and most competitive intercollegiate conferences in the nation. And that is not mere conjecture, the numbers support it.
Since the league’s inception in 1953, ACC schools have captured four national golf titles. The 11 schools that carry the ACC banner have produced 179 first, second or third team All-Americans, 11 national Player/Collegiate Golfers of the Year, 3 National Senior Players of the Year and three national Coach of the Years.
