Golf Team: Kneeling; Kostyk, ENS Swartz, CAPTAIN Parsons, Devers, Standing,- LTJG Colgon, CHPCLK Baker, Viers, Smith, Bostic, LTJG Schneider DELTA GOLF TEAM The delta ' s golf team first engaged in organized combat in the middle of April. Some- what cool after a long layoff, the squad experienced defeat at the hands of the PRAIRIE in its first match. The linksters then however, retaliated with two straight wins, the last by an over- whelming margin of 15 points in Nassau-scored tournament play. The REGLILUS next challenged the pros to a match, and that vessel was soundly trounced for its trouble by a total score of 17 ' 2 to 5. No request for a rematch has been received to date. Members of the golf team include CAPT Parsons,- Chaplain Sullivan,- Doctors Sonnleitner, Schneider, and Colgan,- LTJG De Fusco; ENS Swartz; CHPCLK Baker,- Chiefs Kostyk, Viers, Devers, and Morgan,- MR2 Smith; and TN Bostic. Two celebrities arose from this group in the Sasebo Handicap Golf Tournament, making the DELTA, the ship most recognized golf-wise in the Sasebo area. CHPCLK Baker won top honors in the championship fiight by downing the much-touted owner of the course record in a close match. CAPT Parsons received honors as the runner-up in the first fiight. Both signal achievements. At press time a match with the SIOUX had been scheduled, and possibly another following that one before leaving Sasebo. Arrival of AR-9 in Conus will undoubtedly see resumption of competitive play.
