1 l l ROGER PAGELS finds himself in the nboondocksn while practicing at Patty Jewett Golf Course. 1963 RECORD Colorado Springs Golf Tourney . Trinidad ....... Pueblo . . . Colorado Springs . State Meet . . lst lst 2nd 1st 5th T-Bircl Golfers Compete ln New Regional League Coach Bert Hoffmeister's golf team started its prac- tices at the beginning of the school year. The team held practices at the Patty Jewett Golf Course, with the sopho- mores playing in the morning and the juniors and seniors after school. These players put in many long hours of hard work, striving toward a conference and possibly a state championship. Along with their tight conference schedules, the coaches of many of the schools in Colorado Springs or- ganized a city league. This consisted of competition be- tween all the city golf teams on three of the excellent golf courses within the city. This will be continued as a regular competitive event in future years. This year's team has many returning players from last year's team. Two of these, Greg Johnson and Roger Pagels, were elected as the co-captains for the team. Roger Pagels was also the only returning letterman. This year Mr. Hoffmeister hopes to letter at least five eligible boys, if not more. 1964 SCHEDULE Trinidad . . . .
