Inexperienced linksters gain valuable knowledge on course Lacking depth, the freshman golfers ended the season with a 2-9 record. However, the team had to for- feit the last four games since two players became scholastically inelli- gible. Despite these handicaps, the re- maining linksters continued to prac- tice every morning before school. The best part of being a freshman coach, stated Coach Spilker, was going out and working with the kids. Chuck Tuggle was the low scorer for the team, shooting 59.3. When you play golf, you ' re actu- ally playing against the course, not against a tearn, stated Coach David Dick. The seventh and eighth grade linksters showed that the course was hard to master by ending with a 0-5 slate. Since there were only two eighth graders, inexperience proved to be a weakness. Although the golfers didn ' t go far this year, they should be strong in the future with experienced seventh graders and incoming sixth graders. FRESHMAN GOLF. (LEFT TO RIGHT) J. Thompson, D.

The team started the sea- son with five freshman, but due to lack of attitude ended with three. The toughest meet was at Carmel where team leader Jim Florreich won the only singles match of the season. Martin Boyer, who was the most im- proved player, and Kenny Walker won the team ' s only doubles match at the Ben Davis meet. Jeff Vance, another team leader, was not able to fully de- velop all of his tennis skills because he was also involved in cross country. According to Coach Steve Smith, ' ' Mike Beck had a good attitude when it came to meets. The team ' s lack of depth was the main problem in halting the team ' s progress. With a look of determination, Mike Beck re- turns the serve. Smashing a backhand, seventh grader Kenny Walker scores a point for the team. SEVENTH-EIGHTH-NINTH TENNIS. (LEFT TO RIGHT) — K. Walker, M.
