GOLF OUTLOOK 1968
Early practice activity for this year's team has
been hampered with the late opening of the
Bloomsburg State College home course of Briar
Heights. New Coach Jerry Thomas started
working his squad in early March in practice
areas near the college. With several key members of last year's varsity returning, the hopes
of equalling or topping last year's 6-2 record
looks encouraging. However, this year's schedule will provide a real test as only three matches are on the home course.
Six away matches
should give the team a good variety of play and
contribute to a strong showing at Hershey May
12 and 13 at the Pennsylvania State Colleg
Tournament.
On the basis of last year's performances, it
seems certain that Albert Fisher, Jim Masich,
and Tom Castrilli will be the nucleus of the
1968 team. Another member of last year's varsity, Ron Buffington, and last year's leading
freshman player, John Marshall, also appear to
be solid performers for the coming season. The
competition for the remaining positions should
be among Jeff Hock, Bob Snyder, Warren
Frantz (all members of the 1967 freshman squad)
and Bob Simmons, former district 13 high school
golf champion.
Susquehanna University and
Kings College, a]ong with Mansfield S. C., head
a list of former opponents for the Huskies. Several outstanding freshmen candidates will participate in a schedule of five matches.
Coach Jerry Thomas' excellent knowledge of
the game could prove to be a valuable asset
to the Huskies this season.
