FaXOMZy Mrazxgi They were more than just teammates they were my examples.' said Brewer It was a year for rookies, as the team met competition with ten first-time college players. This crew included five freshmen, five novice seniors and one returning letterman. Competing with nine other teams in the Arkansas Intercollegiate Confer- ence, the inexperienced team finished fifth in the conference and second in District 17 for the fall season. Howev- er, there was no predicting how the young team would finish in the spring. Practice for the spring season start- ed as early as September. The team participated in a few informal match- es against other AIC teams. After- wards, they headed indoors for the winter. In the spring the squad hit the green again in order to prepare for the upcoming schedule. ttHooks were thrown into the teams plans as the weather fluctuated. One round was played at Rebsamen in Little Rock during rain and hail. Two other 18- hole rounds were played at Hot Springs in Itpouring rain? These rough times prepared the team for a strong start as the team took third place in both the first and second rounds of conference play. uAlthough our team was composed of many different individuals, we had a strong feeling of comradery which helped us through the rough times by boosting our morale, said Chris Brewer. In the third round, the team was pushed into fourth place by the University of Central Arkansas. How- ever, in the fourth round, they re- claimed third followed by a fourth and sixth place finish. Throughout the season, the teams score was boosted by the playing of Brewer. Brewer, a freshman, finished the season with an 82.4 stroke per round average. He placed 12th in the top twenty individuals of the confer- ence Being among the teams top seven players, Jason Nier contributed to the teams play. In the team's number one spot was senior and three-year letter- man Toby Taylor, who led the team with an 80.2 stroke per round average, which placed him among the top eight players in the conference. The conglomeration of freshmen and seniors finished the season tied for third place with the University of Central Arkansas. eDon Strader FOLLOW THROUGH.
