Big-8 Competition inspires Ghiei's,7 Linksmen The 1963 Golf Team, consisting mostly of jun- iors, played on a circuit of city-wide meets, state meets, and of course the highly regarded Big-8 tourney in Laurel. Provine's team continuously made a good show- ing in all their meets. With practice beginning in late February at school and on two city courses, the members displayed their good form throughout the season. Competition among the team members deter- mined individual places on the team, and with Chief,' Taylor as coach, the team as a whole de- veloped the necessary finesse to attain a higher rating in the state. Ram linksmen strived to gain experience on var- ious courses by traveling throughout the state. As each member participated in these tournaments, he not only tried to reach a lower individual score but also to lower the over-all team score. Big-8 competition was scheduled for early May with Jackson being well-represented with five schools. Y.,- Y tk ,f'. mfr N, GOLF TEAM. Bottom Row: Jimmy Gallagher, Edwin Cheshire, Ronnie Loggans.
