“
golf tennis was the pleasant surprise of the year, golf was the big disappointment. - It seemed like the State golfers could never get untracked following a 14th place finish in last year ' s NCAA tournament, the first time a State team had qualified for the NCAA in golf. But the same team that finished 14th in 1975 didn ' t qualify in ' 76, dropping from second to third in the ACC behind national power Wake Forest and Maryland. All-American Vance Heafner provided the brightest moments, but even Heafner was not up to his par of a year earlier. State finished behind rival North Carolina in the season ' s first two tournaments, Pinehurst and Palmetto. The Wolfpack claimed fifth place in both events, disappointing finishes. Things appeared to be on the upswing after the Big Four tournament when the Pack crushed Carolina by over 20 strokes just two weeks before the ACC tournament. Maryland posed a threat to take the league ' s second spot in the NCAA tournament, Wake Forest was conceded the crown. But after the Big Four, the Wolfpack was confident it could come out on top in a head-to-head confrontation with the Terps. It was wrong. Maryland outpointed the Wolfpack by 10 shots and was invited to the NCAA tourney. State coach Richard Sykes has a strong golf program and he ' s not pushing the panic button because of one disappointing season. The cry from the Wolfpack is " Wait ' til next year! "
