WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Coming off a conference championship and its first trip to the NCAA Championship in nine years, the Williams College men's golf team is ready and anxious to build upon its successes from the 2025-26 campaign. The 2026 fall schedule will certainly provide them with ample opportunity to play against stiff competition and prepare for even better things to come in the spring.
The Ephs will play their first of five fall events when they tee off at the Duke Nelson Invitaitonal, hosted by Middlebury at the Ralph Myhre Golf Club, the weekend of Sept. 12-13. One week later, Williams will be on its home course at Taconic Golf Club to host the Williams Fall Invitational featuring approximately 15 teams.
Invitationals hosted by Bowdoin and Skidmore also dot the schedule, and the fall will conclude with the Ekwanok Sap Bucket Challenge, an annual showdown between four NESCAC schools. Williams tied Trinity for team medalist honors last fall, one of three events the Ephs won during the 2025-26 season.
Williams has a terrific corps to lead the team on the links. Sophomore Nick Smith was the 2026 New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) Golfer of the Year, not to mention a member of the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) All-Freshman Team and the Division III Ping All-Region Team. Junior Jack Estrella, meanwhile, joined Smith on the Division III Ping All-Region Team as well as the All-NESCAC First Team, and senior Alex Moller is a three-time All-NESCAC Second Team selection.
