Men's Golf Fall Recap


Andy Bonar

The Tiger golf team has gotten a facelift in 2002, starting at the top with first-year coach Scott Isphording. Several of the teams top players have opted to concentrate on their studies, leaving some voids but also some tremendous opportunities that a precocious group of freshman have capitalized upon.

Wittenberg has participated in fall tournaments that included some of the best competition in the midwest each of the last two weeks. At the Denison Invitational two weeks ago, the Tigers finished 11th of 14 teams and were paced by sophomore Andy Bonar (Lancaster, Ohio/Lancaster), a second-team All-NCAC performer a year ago, who carded a 154, good for 20th place.

At Otterbein last weekend, the Tigers had a better showing, finishing fourth in the eight-team field. The competition was pared down to one round due to rain, and Wittenberg was paced by freshman Clinton Anderson (Mechanicsburg, Ohio/Mechanicsburg), who was sixth with a 76.
