Now in its seventh season on Dataw Island, the TaylorMade Intercollegiate Tournament field includes 130 student athletes, comprising men’s teams from 14 colleges and women’s teams from 7. The event has become a tradition that is welcomed by players and Dataw members alike, as members open their homes to personally host the college athletes.

“Barb and I love hosting student athletes each year,” says Dataw Member Mike Carakostas. “We’ve hosted four students each year, two of whom we’ve had for all four years of their college careers who my wife has ‘adopted.’ It’s like a homecoming to see them and how they’ve grown both athletically and as people. It’s also a lot of fun to have then around!”

Dataw Island General Manager Ted Bartlett. “We look forward to the TaylorMade Intercollegiate Tournament every year. The students are very talented and it is our pleasure to host their tournament. They really bring a vibrancy that the staff and members enjoy.”
