Golfers show strong finish at league meet A young and inexperienced Golf team hit the links this year. Inspite of this, the team had a very successful year. Practice was hampered by a wet Fall which prohibited the team from getting the time they needed as a group. The season results were good. The team won three matches and finished in tie for 4th place. At the league meet, they shot their best golf of the season, finishing only ten shots out of 3rd place. Geography presents a few problems for the Algonac golfers. There are very few courses that are open to the students for practice in the area. Next year presents a lot of promise with four out of five golfers returning. Pat Folkerts was the most consistent golfer and most valuable player. Eric Wilhelm, Gary Roberts and Brian Johns made up the starters for most matches. Jeff Allegoet was the most improved golfer. 1 . As Jeff Thomas finishes his swing, he judges the distance of his shot. 2. Brian Johns prepares to hit the ball for the winning shot. 3. Eric Wilhelm checks his shot one more time for accuracy. 4. Pat Folkerts takes one more practice swing before the big meet. 26 Scores: p. 171
