Trends of youth on the golf tour were reverberated in the Statesmen Golf Team. With an abundance of freshmen and first year players, competition primed the golfers for match-play pressure. Some might believe that pressure does not exist on the greens; but when it comes time to hit a drive over a lake, or line up a long putt for a par, the pressure is there. Coach Major Earl had only to hope on fresh talent to capture wins in the match-play competition. But golfers were not born overnight, and only continued competition formed top rate golfers. This was greatly achieved through the experi¬ ence learned from the many courses played. There is no so-called home court advantage as the golfers trav¬ eled throughout Northern Virginia for matches. The Quantico Invitational posed the chance to experience wide open competition, comparitive to a Vir¬ ginia open, as golfers from the state vie for the title.
