COLUMBIA, Mo. - The nation's broadcast authority on golf was on campus Thursday to shoot a segment for its upcoming fall preview show.

Mizzou senior men's golfer David Jenkins and sophomore women's standout Denise Knaebel served as unofficial tour guides for The Golf Channel on Thursday when a camera crew from TGC's College Central show made a stop on its tour of college campuses. The Tiger duo led the crew around some of the campus landmarks, including Tiger Plaza; several areas around Francis Quadrangle including Jesse Hall, the Columns, and the Thomas Jefferson statue and gravestone, and the Beetle Bailey statue. Jenkins and Knaebel also showed the crew around the facilities at A.L. Gustin Golf Course, the on-campus home of the Tigers.

Along with tours of several other schools, the package from today's shoot will be included in an upcoming airing of College Central, which resumes broadcasts starting Sept. 10 on The Golf Channel. The Mizzou stop on College Central's tour of colleges will air on Wednesday, Oct. 8 at 6 p.m. CDT.
