RICHMOND, Ind. -- The Earlham College men's golf team enters the 2026 spring season in a rebuilding phase following a record-breaking 2024–25 campaign. The Quakers are led by junior
Arthur Del Bourgo (Metz, France), the lone returning starter, who posted a team-best scoring average of 79.3 during the fall season. Del Bourgo's top performance came at the Lou Collins Memorial at Bedford Valley Golf Club in Battle Creek, Michigan, where he finished ninth overall.
Rounding out the top of the lineup are sophomore
Milan Nettl (Velp, Netherlands) and first-year standout
Hayden Chalfant (Richmond, Indiana), who recorded scoring averages of 81.4 and 80.6, respectively. Nettl paced the Quakers at the HCAC Preview Tournament at Boone's Trace Golf Club in Richmond, Kentucky, finishing 28th, while Chalfant earned a top-20 finish at Bedford Valley.
The Quakers' spring schedule features several marquee events, including the televised Island Pointe Intercollegiate hosted by Defiance College in Kodak, Tennessee, on March 12–13, a match-play dual against Indiana Tech at The Players Club, and the 4th Annual Earlham Spring Invitational at Richmond Elks Country Club on April 18–19. The season will culminate at the HCAC Championship, set for May 1–3 at Boone's Trace Golf Club.
