Washington State Getaway Invitational

We just finished our first tournament of the spring season with mixed feelings.  We showed a lot of improvement in our ball striking, but struggled around the greens all tournament.  We were led by Neal McCarty, who paced us with a 72-73-72, good enough for a T-17.  Neal got a big victory over the number 2 ranked player in the county in the Golfstat Cup.  It was a very exciting head to head victory for Neal.  As a team we finished 12th out of 14 shooting 907.  We had a great opportunity to place higher but our short games were just not quite there this week.  We were in 9th after the first round, 11th after the second round.  Other scores:
Nick Nuzzo- 76-76-75
Grant Wynia- 74-81-75
Taylor Cox- 78-80-79
Alex Knoll- 83-78-85
Clark Schmidt- 80-79-79

We have a 4 week break before our next tournament in Indianapolis at the Butler Invitational.  We will be really concentrating on our short games and do what we need to compete for a title at Bulter!

Congratulations to the SIUE 1982-83 golf team

I want to personally congratulate the 1982-83 golf team for being voted into the SIUE Hall of Fame this past week.  The ceremony will take place on Saturday, September 24 on the SIUE campus.  This team won five tournaments during the 82-83 campaign on their way to an SIUE best 9th place finish in the NCAA tournament.  Coach Harry Gallatin comprised a very good schedule that the Cougars handled very well beating many Division I schools including Wisconsin, Iowa, and Illinois.  The team also boasted a First Team All American, Bob Gaus.

Members of the team were Bob Gaus, Bob Donnewald, Jay Eihausen, Mark Marcuzzo, Jim Kurtzeborn, Kent Dolenc, Boyd Watson, Lee Hammel, Dave Stites, and Harry Hazelhurst.

 Again congratulations from the entire SIUE community.

Coach Brown
