Under the leadership of Coach Alex McInnis and great golfing by john Burk, Chris Beechum, and Darrin McBride, the Golf Team went to an 8-4-0 record overall, 5-2-0 in the SMA. The team rallied from a second place finish in the SMA league meet, to a fifth place finish in the state meet. Coach Mclnnis called his players survivors for their clutch performances during an inconsistent year. The Golf Team consisted of only four seniors, John Burk, Eric Troelsen, Matt Wilson, and Pete Hogland. Assistant Coach Don Wadsten des- cribed their plight when he said, Even though they did so well for a young and inconsistent team, this was a rebuild- ing year. Next year will be the winning year. Next year will be a more exper- ienced team as four of the top five golfers from this year's team will all come back next year. These top four juniors are Darrin McBride, Chris Beechum, john Everhardus, and Matt Davison. They shall all go for the quest that they came four short of this year, being the number one Golf Team in the state of Michigan. 0 Bovs GOLF 199

Although this isn't a terrific record it doesn't compare to last years team record of 10-4. This years team lost three of their matches by four strokes or less. Losing these close ones to Mercy, Adams, and Lahser really hurt the teams record. Another problem they had this year was a very young team with only one senior, Kristin Martin.
