Golfers In Fall Practice
1971-72 Gardner-Webb Cheerleaders
The Gardner-Webb College golf
team has been quite busy in the
past few weeks. The first few
weeks of fall practice were de
voted to practice and qualifica
tion. The fall qualification tourna
ment ended with Mike Stewart in
the number one position followed
by Gary Dobbins, John Kyle,
Jack Moore, Ben Balentine, Paul
Staley, and Richard Schultz.
Mike Stewart was the team’s
number two man last year but
managed to climb to the top of
the roster with a 281.
Also participating in the fall
pactice are Zeb Beam, Bob Deck
er, Sam Madison, John Kirkham,
Bob Florence, Kim Washburn, Lee
Suttle, and Jimmy Hunsucker.
The golf team, upon completion
of qualification, traveled to Eto
wah, North Carolina, for the Eto
wah Collegiate Invitation Tourna

to fifth place in the NAIA Na

time and effort and for a job well
In the light of the team’s per
formance, one particular individual
stands out. This player is Terry
Florence. Florence, a 1971 grad
uate, shot a 78-74-71-72 to rank
him third in the NAIA competi
tion. He was selected for the first
team All-American, which makes
him the second All-American for
Gardner-Webb in it’s 70-71 sport
season.
Terry gives his dad credit for
teaching him the finer points of
golf beginning at the age of
eleven. Three years later he won
the Charlotte City Junior Tourna
ment. He later played for South
Mecklenburg High School in
Charlotte and was offered num
erous scholarships, both large and
small. Terry followed in his fath
er’s footsteps and enrolled in the
College of Charleston, in Charles
ton, South Carolina. He was not
completely satisfied, however, and
so he transferred to Gardner-Webb
for his next three years.
