The opening of the new greens and range comes in time for the men's golf team to use it to practice for the NCAA Central Regionals, which are May 19 through 21.

Randall said players didn't have visibility on the old range. The biggest change with the new range is that the contour of the land will help the players see their shot better than before, he said.
Men's coach Ross Randall helped direct the completion of the facility. He said the finished product was going to be terrific for his players.

tryout for rookies.
White, who won the Heisman Trophy as a junior in 2003, got the news Sunday from coach Dick
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jason White, the former Oklahoma quarterback passed over in the NFL draft, won't be invited back to the Kansas City Chiefs' mini-camp.
"What I recommended him to do, if he really wants to play in the NFL, is to go to the Arena League, sharpen his skills and compete," Vermeil said. "I think he's aware of where he is and what he needs to do."
White told The Daily Oklahoma he wasn't sure what was ahead for him, but he wasn't interested in trying Vermeil's suggestion.
"He's got his opinion," White said
"Whatever he thinks. I saw how I matched up with other NFL rookies."

Commissioner wants stiffer drug penalties
NEW YORK — The baseball players' union told commissioner Bud Selig yesterday that it was willing to talk to him about his call for harser steroids penalties.
Selig wants a 50-game suspension for first-time steroid offenders, a 100-game ban for a second offense and a lifetime suspension for a third violation.
Under current rules, the first offense draws a 10-day suspension. The penalties increase to 30 days for a second positive test, 60 days for a third violation and one year for a fourth. The penalty for a fifth failure is at the commissioner's discretion.
