Golf team hopes to rally

Friday, April 10, 2009

Men’s golf coach Kit Grove struggled to find words to describe his team’s play lately.

“It’s a bit of a crap shoot right now,” Grove said. “We are coming off our worst performance of the spring immediately following our best performance.”

The team looks to turn things around at the River Landing Intercollegiate in Wallace, N.C., this weekend. Grove said seniors Walt Koelbel, Zach Pederson and Andrew Storm would be counted on by the whole team.

“This week we have three seniors in the lineup for the first time all season, so hopefully some of their experience can equate to some lower scores,” Grove said.

Grove also noted his team’s competition as motivation for getting better.

“We have the (Texas) A&M tournament which is a very strong field so hopefully it will be a good test before the Big 12 Championships,” Grove said.

Grove said the only way to meet their goals for the season would be to win the conference championship.

“Our ultimate goal every year is to get the opportunity to compete in the postseason and to get to the national finals.”
