OBBBHRBOTlRmiMinvDMl Golf Talent in Putting, Driving Necessary With only two returning Iettermen from the 1968 team, the 1969 varsity golf team was relatively in- experienced as compared to other schools in the dis- trict. Those returning from last year were Dennis Bethke and Don Gilbert. The team was dominated by sophomores as there was only one senior and only four juniors. The golfers participated in the Tournament of Champions in San Antonio, the Austin Invitational, Galveston Ball tourney and the District Tournament, along with playing in several dual meets with other Austin schools. Coach Duane Moore, in his 1st year as the Raider golf mentor, was pleased with the overall performance of the team. Bethke is the only player slated to graduate. The team, which practiced after school, usually played at Morris Williams golf course. I CROUCHING OVER HIS ball, Dennis Bethke sinks it to make par on the hole.
