The three seniors on the Gettysburg College men's golf team –
Quinn Greene (New Milford, Conn./Canterbury School),
Jimmy Harcourt (Fanwood, N.J./Scotch Plains-Fanwood),
Daniel Rieger (Collegeville, Pa./Methacton) – have been part of record-breaking rounds, epic comebacks, tournament championships, and national appearances during their four seasons.
The trio has seen plenty of time on the course during their tenure in orange and blue, totaling 122 rounds of competition. They've seen their fair share of success individually with 26 top-10 finishes combined. The team has thrived as a result of their steady play and commitment with 13 tournament titles over the last four seasons, including a record-breaking nine crowns in 2018-19.
Both Greene and Rieger helped the Bullets claim their first Centennial Conference championship in 17 years with an incredible comeback on the final day of competition in 2019. The pair also went to Kentucky for the 2019 NCAA Division III Championship.
Despite the loss of two record-breaking golfers, including Harcourt's older brother Danny, the three seniors maintained steady play as juniors and helped the team establish the second-best season scoring average in program history at 305.7, trailing only the prior year's record-breaking performance. The pandemic cut the 2019-20 season short, but Greene, Harcourt, and Rieger form a strong nucleus for the Gettysburg golf team which is set to officially defend its Centennial crown this spring.
