Linksters Capture Eighth in 1967 State Golf Tournament BECOMING WASSON'S FIRST state individual medalist champion, Tom Connell led the 1967 T-Bird golf team to eighth place in the state tournament. The linksters, who won all but three of their matches, took second place in a tight South Central League race that saw Pueblo South win by six strokes. The 'Birds, however, nipped South by one strokee in the district qualifying match to send four men to state. Then it was Connell who turned, red hot with rounds of 72, 74, and 72 at Boulder to win the state medalist championship with a total score of 128. Jim Knipp was the only returning Ietterman for 1968 as coach Bert Hoffmeister had to rebuild his team. Knipp played second man throughout last year and was a key player to the success of this year's team. 1967 RECORD Meet Place City Championship ..... .... 1 st Patty Jewett ......... .... 1 st Valley Hi Country Club ........ ,... 2 nd Woodmoor ................... .... 1 st Colorado Springs Country Club .... .... 1 st S.C.L.
