0I.F I Golf team offers fun, exercise, sport Whether in pursuit of a profes- sional career or a social way to exer- cise and have fun, 10 girls got together weekly to practice and prepare for tournaments as members of the girls' golf teams. Before becoming a part of this team, each member had to make it through a preliminary screening known as tryouts and then determine their position on the team. Tryouts were held at the beginn- ing of the season. Everyone who tries out plays nine holes and the best scores make the team, said Iunior Elenora Avellon. The top five members make up the A team and the other five make up the B. Coach of the team, Mrs. Ann Butler, took the girls to Whitte driving range to practice. We practice every Thursday and Tuesday and either play nine holes of golf or hit on the range. The school pays for us to have a free bucket of balls every day we practice, said Iunior Iennifer O'Donnel. Even though the girls did not have an outstanding year, they did progress. We placed fifth at a tournament at A8zM University, said Iennifer. District competition also required the practicing of every member. During District, if members of the B team do better than those on the A team, then those people go on to Regionals, said Avellon. We really did Well at district. Our A team placed first and our B team placed third overall. The competition was held at the golf course at Green Meadows on April 6 and 7 and so the A team goes on to Regionals, too, said Iennifer.

GOLF Boys' golf team drives into traps Several outstanding individual showings were prevalent during the 1981 boy's golf season. However, complete team efforts were difficult to come by, limiting the number of overall team victories. Some tournies, though, brought bright moments to the team. Clubs were not only used for driving and put- ting, but also for lining up putts, as Sophomore Marshall Eubanks shows. Photo by Scott Coleman. qi- i- MVN..

The most outstanding win was th of the Katy Invitational. We wo first place out of about 26 tearr entered. It was great, said Senic Tom Kenefick. I personally placed fifth among a of the golfers entered and then th team as a whole won the tourna ment, he continued. Other competitions, though not 2 successful as that of Katy, benefitte the team in other ways. It's always good to go to the things even if you don't win. Iust ge ting ready helps you for the next cor test, said Kenefick. One such contest requiring a gre deal of preparation is District. W didn't do very well at District. W placed fifth. Westchester won first fc about the third year in a row. W missed placing second by tw strokes, said Senior lim Baile. Weekly practices were hel throughout the season, which laste from the beginning of the year unt mid-April. Most of the time, we'd go out an hit a few range balls at Whitte Driw ing Range on Tuesdays an Thursdays. I try to practice every da though, and usually go to Lakesid Country Club, said Baile. Members had different reasons fc joining the team. You get to get Ol of school at 2 p.m. for one thing. But really enjoy the sport, my friends ai on the team, and we also get to pla the girls' team from Lee Hig School, said Senior Marc Magness. Members of the team were Senioi Tom Kenefick, lim Baile, Mai Magness, Mike Ebbeler, Keit Keyser, juniors Scott Smith, Tomm Tucker, Sophomores Marsha' Eubanks and Robert Laviage, a Freshman Matt Baird.
