The suspension of seven Colorado men’s golfers and interim coach Brad Neher will last only through the weekend.
CU athletic director Mike Bohn had said the ban would be lifted in time for the Buffaloes to compete in the Texas A&M Invitational on April 15-16. Friday evening, following a meeting with the team, Bohn made it official.
According to parents of two of the suspended players, the suspensions stemmed from the players going to a San Francisco strip club during the rain-shortened March 27-28 CU-Stevinson Ranch Invitational in Stevinson, Calif., an event won by the host Buffs.
One CU player was not suspended. Senior Edward McGlasson, the team’s No. 1 player, is from Northern California and was visiting family at the time. McGlasson finished fourth Saturday in The Intercollegiate in Cary, N.C.
