It was a big let down . . . but a great teamf, Outstanding players for the season were Richard Kimble, Scott Brady, Kent Denton, and Paul Siler.

The members were ex- pected to play when they could throughout the year. Official practice began on February 1 at Walnut Creek Country Club from 4:00-6:00 everyday. As for training, Coach Ezzell said Theres no special preparation, just individual practice. U Paul Siler and D Comer helped the team with their great playing techniques, and there was a battle between freshman Brian Mull and junior Paul Siler for the first starter for the sea- son. The 1987 season consisted of twelve matches with seven conference matches. The matches were held on Mondays and Thursdays. The experience of Coach Ezzell and the team efhmrt of the WVarrior Golfers should enable the Warrior Team to putt by many of their opponents and become a strong contender for the 1987 Conference Championship.
