No, the Dink wasn't a w dance - it was a drill we did this year to help us ith our consistency and placement of the ball. Ann ammond, our coach, used several such exercises to ach us basic skills needed for good playing. Our team was larger this year. Although several of our top players from last year graduated and a few chose to take advantage of sixth hour privilege pas- ses, they were replaced by a hard working crop of freshmen and sophomores. Coach Hammond felt that this was in our favor. With so many of us being young players, we will have more time to get our racket to- gether. 53

430W Ah, the country club sport of golf- lazy days in the sunshine exchanging bets. Not so with us - we drilled consistently and played strenuously. ln years past we've had numerous problems, but through word of mouth we recruited a few good players who helped give us a different attitude and a little more recognition. Before this year, the tournament planners really didn't know that BTW had a golf team, but our hard work paid off. Our playing schedule doubled and we acquired a home course- the Mohawk ll golf links. Having our own greens meant more practice time for us to prepare our 14 matches. Our coach, Sybie Lambert, was as excited as we were about our successful year. As far as golf is concerned at BTW, we've made it out of the sand traps.
