Golf Team at
Chowan Adds
New Interest
Golf has made its debut on the
Chowan campus this spring. The
members of the team have been
practicing on the front campus
and someday maybe another
Ben Hogan or a Sam Snead will
makes way to the big time, and
he can look back to the time he
practiced and played for ole’
Chowan.
This year’s team has gotten
off to a bad start, losing their
first two matches to a strong
Wilmington team. The outcome
of these matches were by 1%
points and 3 points. The team
looked impressive in their win
against Cambell College.
The linksters for Chowan this
year are Joe Bland, Jim Taylor,
Richard Collier, and John Hem
ingway.
