The Williams Men's Golf Team is one of the most successful Division III golf programs in the country. The team has made the 23-team NCAA Tournament field 9 of the last 11 years, with its best finish a 10th place showing in 1999. Roster size generally ranges from 10-14 players whose golf games range from scratch to 3 or 4 handicaps. Certainly one of the best perks of making the team is enjoying unlimited playing and practicing privileges at the beautiful [[Taconic Golf Club]].
The varsity men's golf team is a collection of individuals who were good at golf in high school and now are relatively better at drinking than golf, with the obvious exception of Kevin Kellert '07 - until his display of funneling beers on October 29, 2005. The team enjoys weekly trips to the [[Guide_to_Off-Campus_Dining#Ye_Olde_Forge|Old Forge Restaurant]], Bob Seger, and Lapdog. The team practices on the wonderful [[Taconic Golf Club|Taconic Golf Course]]. Every Spring Break, the golf team goes to Florida to improve their golf and [[beirut]] skills. Detailed statistics for golf (fairways, greens in regulation, putts, sand saves, and penalty strokes) and beirut (cups hit, wal-marts, quotes) are recorded. Golf skill and beirut skill do not tend to overlap. As one increases the other, as sad as it may be, declines. An inverse relationship per se, or whatever.
