Swinging Season GMHS' Golf team played well this year, according to Larry Cole, coach. The team played at several different golf courses throughout the year sea- son, including Foothills, Applewood, Indian Tree, Lakewood Country Club, and Rolling Hills. Although the team had eleven new members this year, Cole felt that the team played well. A coach always wants the team to play better than they did, but we played very well over- all. Cole also added, We had good young golfers. In all the team consisted of eighteen members. They had problems howev- er, Our greatest problem was prob- ably a lack of experience and tourna- ment competition. Cole contributed. If the team members will practice be- tween now and next fall, putting a lot of time into the game, we should have an excellent season next year. Brett Starnes, senior, commented that he thought the team played well and pulled together. We had good team spirit, but we could use more work. For the first time the team had a female member, Shelly Vance. Being the only girl on the team could have been a bizarre experience but Vance, junior, had a great season and even competed at districts. The team was compiled of six sen- iors: Eric Bauer, Steve Gray, Tim Kay- lor, Bret Starnes, Tom Wade and Mike Upson. They had four juniors: David Lojko, Jim Topkoff, Terry Burnes, and Shelly Vance. Finally they had eight sophomores: Mark Janney, John Korb, Jason Liechti, Mike McAlister, Jim Pearl, Kevin Thomas, and Brian Watson. J.
