142 Sportsffiolf Q olf shoots for third or better The golf team has grown in ex- perience and talent compared to last year. We are on an average about 20 strokes under, and I expect that we will place third or better, said head caoch Don Garrett. The golf team started off their season in the Sierra League by win- ning five of their first 12 games. If the golf team isn't on the road playing on an opponent's course or playing at home, they can usually be found practicing with each other. At practice Garrett could be helping someone out with putting or he could be helping someone with driving the ball far and straight. Bingo really helped out the golf team because that was the money that would be used for things such as renting golf carts, renting pull carts, and paying for actual games.

Golf is a great sporty you meet a lot of new people and just have a lot of fun, said senior Phil Ghenault. This is the second year the golf team has been competing against other schools, and if Garrett expects to finish third or better just think what they can do next year! t A . .... i -
