GULF The 1948 golf team had, for the second straight year, the best T. C, C. team record in spring sports. The Colonial golfers finished the season with an excellent 4-2 won-lost record. John Budd, pro at the Endicott-Johnson golf course, acted as coach for the Squad. Al Sanges was elected captain of the team after the golfers won their opening match of the season, ISVZ-IOVZ, against the linksmen of Hartwick Col- lege on the E. course. Dick Jamieson shot the dayls low round with a 78. The Colonial mashie-wielders journeyed to Troy for their next conquest. as they eked out a Ji-3 vic- tory over R. P. I. Mario Pizzillo negotiated the rain! soaked course with a low 77. The Green and XY'hite was handed its first loss of the season 6-3 when Hobart College invaded Endicott. The squad also lost its No. three man when Dick Mercer was stricken with appendicitis. T. C. C. took it on the chin again, 10-8, when they traveled to Utica for a match with Utica College. The Triple Cities Linksmen gained revenge for their loss by outputting Utica 12-6 on the En-Joie Workers course. Pizzillo, Jamieson and Sanges were the day's medalists as each chipped in with a 76. Les Morgan and Jim Johnstone both had an off day as Utica garnered all its points from them. T. C. C. finished its golf season at Oneonta against Hartwick College. Pizzillo again led the Colonials to victory, SV2-ZVZ, by carding a 73. Dick Jamieson was close behind him with a 741. The consistently low scores of Pizzillo and Ja- mieson, plus the steady golfing of Sanges, Stapleton, Morgan and Johnstone contributed to a fine record and a successful season.
