ziptrumpet87 Posted August 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 There's more to the story... U of Columbus takes a chance on "bad kid".Snyder spent 21⁄2 seasons with the Zips, playing 31 tournaments with a career 73.94 stroke average. But Coach Nick Goetze told him he would not be an active participant in the spring after some on-course issues in the fall. That led to the transfer. "When I talked to (OSU) Coach (Jim) Brown, I said, 'Look, I screwed up. ... It was my fault. It was a learning experience, and I said it would never happen again," Snyder said. "It hasn't happened since, and it won't." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDZip Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 You know golf just tends to draw these kinds of people. If you want to have a winning team you have to put up with a certain amount of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FORE!zips Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Wow...he didn't hold much back. Wonder why he came to Akron in the first place. Sounded like he hated everything.This guy had to be pretty bad to be dismissed from the golf team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOLLYWOODZIPPY Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 “It (transferring) allowed me to play with much better players,” Snyder said. “I’ll be around a lot better people. The coaching staff is a lot better there, it’s not even comparable. They want to help you get better in all aspects of your life.”Knocking your old teammates and coaches like that shows no level of professionalism IMO, and this guy wants to play on tour? Good luck finding sponsors, people don't really like a**holes. Tiger, Phil, Vijay, Sergio, the list of positive tour personalities goes on and on, there's a reason a lot of people don't like players like Monte.

mrzip910 Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 as someone who is close to the golf team and its members, you might consider it wise to find out what was said between the coach and the player and the circumstances that were going on when this happened, looks like we missed out on this one...OSU's Snyder selected Ohio's golfer of year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippyrifle32 Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 nah... he wouldn't have gotten the award if he had stayed at akron... simply because of the akron curse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzip910 Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 nah... he wouldn't have gotten the award if he had stayed at akron... simply because of the akron curse more like because of the akron coach, this guy got rid of snyder and brad wright who was 1st team MAC and could have easily been player of the year! its hard for a small school to get great players i dont see why we are shoving them out the door when we do get them??
