20 Golf halts Royal golfers Ten victories and four defeats started the PG linksmen’s season; eight defeats and two victories ended it. Royal golfers opened with four wins and two losses in the first three matches and carried six victories against two defeats in the next four matches. The bomb then hit. The PG’ers could not hustle more than two victories out of ten bouts. Overconfidence and big talk evolved from their 10-4 season mark and set them at a 12-12 breakeven final ledger. The Big Green men slacked off in effort and concern and did not pull through for the big rounds which turned over the outcome drastically. Newcomers, Tom Helring and James Thomas, came up and nabbed two of the four top playing positions while MVP and low scorer Matt Melvin and veteran co-captain Keith Moore evened the top spots out and Mike Currin, Willard Traylor, Richard Spain, and Gary Lichvar shifted in and out of the number five and six man position to even the team out.

Inner-team conflicts contributed to the Royalettes’ losing season and gave first year members a disheartening insight into softball. Frosty afternoon practices and games numbed the lady batsmen’s fingers and toes and led to pre-spring sniffles and hoarse voices. Lack of experience and pitching power handcuffed the Lady Royals as only three returning lettermen filled the lineup. Sandwiched in between six losses, two district wins over Midlothian and rival Hopewell lifted PG spirit and gave little satisfaction to the season’s effort. After a close decision vote, senier Elaine Cooper and freshman Cindy Williams nabbed the co-captainship honors and four year veteran Cooper pocketed MVP to close a much disillusioned season.
