The men's golf team is looking to improve on its eighth place Sun Belt Conference finish last season by starting the season off right.
The team's first competition is the Mean Green Classic Monday and Tuesday.
The Classic will host 11 other teams, but head coach Jim Bob Jackson said he hopes the team will take the top spot.
NT finished second in last year's Classic.
Conference rivals the University of Louisiana-Lafayette, University of New Orleans and Western Kentucky University are among the teams attending the event.
Leading the charge for NT are seniors Nathan Sheen, Graham Harris and Clarke Kincaid.
A junior transfer from Bethany College, Lance Byars, and two freshmen, Ashley Crawford and Ben Hargis, will join those three seniors in the hunt.
The Classic will be the only home meet this season for the Mean Green, who will play at Lantana Golf Club in Lantana, on a 7,147-yard par 72 course.
Rounds one and two begin at 7:30 a.m. Monday, and the final round begins Tuesday at 8:00 a.m.
