SEASON'S OUTLOOK
Golf became a varsity sport for the first time at
Bloomsburg during the 1959-60 college year.
In
spite of their relative inexperience, the squad members, by their enthusiasm and application, turned in
a 4-1-1 record.
In the year that followed, they
logged 5 wins and 2 losses.
In the Spring of 1961, four regulars earned diplomas, and Coach Satz was left with only two lettermen-Captain John Y urkel and Joe Rado. As a
result, the continuation of the good record of the
first two years seemed almost impossible for the
coming season.
Yurgel played 4 years of golf while attending
high school and competed in two PIAA meets in
District 2. Rado started digging divots and caddying at the Berwick Country Club at the age of 11.
Nelson Swarts was a member of the Bloomsburg
High School team, but has never competed in intercollegiate contests. Jeff Smith has been caddying
and golfing for nearly a decade. He has caddied
for Art Wall, Jr. and Al Besselink at the Valley
Country Club at Hazleton. George Masich has 8
years of experience as a caddy, and has participated
in the Pennsylvania State Junior Championship
matches, the State High School Championship matches, the Junior Anthracite Open, and a number of
local Jaycee Tournaments.
Perhaps the most experienced member of the squad
is George Gensemer, a freshman, who started his
golfing care'i r while in high school. He won the
Mt. Union Pro-Am Tournament in 1955, played 4
times in the Pennsylvania Open at Hershey, competed 3 years in the Reading Open, won the Eaglesmere Tournment of Frosty Valley Club members
with a 69 in 1961, won the President's Cup at the
Bloomsburg Country Club in 1957, and took the
Harry Blom Invitational Tournament at the Bloomsburg Country Club in 1961.
Although the group, in general, lacks intercollegiate experience, there seems to be a good supply of
potential, and the Husky Golfers re eagerly anticipating their practice sessions and home conference
contests on the scenic slopes of the Bloomsburg
Country Club.
MARTIN A. SATZ - VARSITY GOLF COACH
When Coach Satz joined the Bloomsburg
State CoUege faculty in September, 1958, his
prime concern was that of teaching psychology
and conducting psychological testing. A year
and a half later, when golf was added to the list
of varsity intercollegiate sports at Bloomsburg,
he accepted the job of coaching a sport he has
played and enjoyed for many years.
Dr. Satz earned the Bachelor of Arts and
Master of Arts degrees at the University of Minnesota and the Doctor of Philosophy degree at
the University of Washington. He started playing golf while serving as a caddy, and as caddy
for the club "pro", Satz learned the techniques
and received many valuable insights into the
game. Of this knowledge and experience, he
sometimes says, "I can use it far more effectively
in teaching others than I can in applying it to my
own game." He is also quick to point out that
golf has a considerable carry-over value, since
it is the type of athletic activity a student can
and will pursue for many years after graduation.
