We accomplished what we set out to do, for the most part. We had a better than -.500 season and we did a good job in the New England Intercollegiate Tournament. Our younger golfers gained some valuable experience in the State Tournament, too. This season, Coach Nevers had a bumper crop of freshman from which to choose. The 1979 Varsity Golf season featured: senior Co-Capt. Scott Robinson, old dependable, sophomore Dave Anderson, potentially our best player, freshmen Joe Salan, a good golfer, maybe someday top 141+ or 24, freshman John Wynne, hits the ball very well, needs to work more on his short game, freshman Earl Ellis, should score well, freshman Mike Hebert, a good short game, needs more consistency. The other five fresh- men include: Frank Ramsey, Doug Aldrich, Dave Schwend, Jeff Leo, John Dallis. , ,,.,, ' 'QlL,, , 74 I l -V2 er ,, Front row: fl-rj Jeff Leo, Doug Aldrich, Frank Ramsey, Mike Hebert, Dave Anderson, Dave Schend.
