GO L I Keith Sbarbaro practices his All-American putting technique. inning at the Mental Game by Jeffrey K. Stahlhut When asked what makes a good golfer the response from every player on the Var- sity Golf Team stated, ggThe mental gamef' Maybe that is the reason for the success of Poway's golf team. Along with excellent playing the team received superb coaching. f'Coach Miller really helped us on the men- tal game,', stated team Captain Lance Sey- mour. By outthinking their opponents, the team really played above par and finished great. Even though this yearas team was youn- ger than the teams in the past, they lived up to their expectations by working hard and meeting the challenge. Of course it also helped to have an All-American Golferf, Kieth Sbarbaro. They also received excellent play from Dennison and returning starters Kurt and Scott Humphrey. Being a young team does have its advan tages, for instance, next year's team is sure to be in the tops among the County with future stars like Freshman James Wraith leading the way. The game of gold is not all fun and games though, 'fsometimes it is really frustrat- ing,', stated Kurt Liss. And the main reason Scott Humphrey finesses the ball towards the hole. for the frustration according to Lance is the f'inconsistency of the game. If the future teams can beat the inconsistency the way this year's team did, the future for Poway high golf looks just as good as the past. 304 Vorsity Golf ASU S. Humphrey, R. Dennison, K. Liss, L.

They were led by James Wraith who also put in time on the JV and Varsity teams. One could easily spot the JV team hard at work at Oaks North Golf Course. Whether it was practicing putting on the crowded putting green or spending sev- enty-five cents a basket on the driving range, the hard work put in by the JV and Freshman teams is sure paid off in the future for the Varsity.
