IN WACCAMAW CONFERENCE West Brunswick Golf Is Alive And Well A couple of months hack this golf coach had assessed this year's West Brunswick High School golf team as a third place team in a seven-team con ference. Hie Waccamaw Conference added two teams. West Columbus and North Brunswick, to the old fivc teain conference which included South Brunswick, Whiteville, Fair mont and East Bladen. My conservative assessment was based on the fact that we had gradu ated the top four players on our team iusi June iifiu really only luiii two cx perienccd players returning to the squad, Sonny Ix'ggett and Joey Stadick. The balance of the returning team members hail limited playing time last year and were yet to prove them selves in competition. The early season highlight was Jeremy Grainger. When he returned to West Brunsw ick this year he was a certain varsity player w ith a solid game that can only get better with maturity. Matt Pait had worked hard all summer on his game and showed promise. Jeremy Stanley, another returnee, is a big belter who needed to add some finesse to his game. Tony Shrcve, the lone freshman, has the potential to shoot some really good scores and is also a hard worker. The other six members of the team. Ronnie Bradley, Pat Poison, Dan Martin, Chad Allman, Donnie Warren and Mark Logan are working on the basic sw ing and still in search of scores in the 80s. Of these, Ronnie Bradley shows the most potential. Ron has been in and out of the 80s so tar this year. He has a solid, aggressive swing and is a grim competitor on the course. Over the first four conference tournaments I worked a variety of combi nations of players into our six-man team. Grainger, Stadick and Shreve w ere the only players to compete in all four of those tournaments. Entering last week's tourney at East Bladen on the White Ixike Country Club we were 30 strokes behind first place South Brunswick and 1 1 strokes ahead of third place Whiteville. This year the conference championship is determined by total team strokes over the conference season. The Shakedown Is Over Since we were within striking distance of first place 1 decided to go with the players with the six best averages from the top seven players. Ronny Bradley and Matt Pail would be the swing men. 1 also decided it was lime for my mid-year "pep talk" which is always administered in writing to allow it to sink in. That talk focuscs on the treachery of double bogies, bau shots and dumb shots. Everyone who is playing the game of golf is still learning so we are all familiar with bad shots. The trick is not to follow a bad shot with a dumb shot. That particular shot sequence leads to treachery, ie, doubles. Doubles caused by penalties do not qualify as being treacherous. 1 don't know if it was the pep talk or that we finally got to play in nicc weather for a change, bui the team shot their best score of the year, a 322 for die four low scores. Grainger put together a very nice 74 to move into first place in the conference individual competition for All Conference honors. Joey Stadick finally broke 80 with a solid 79. Sonny Leggcti and Jeremy Stanley tossed in 84 and 85 respectively. West Still Trails South Unfortunately, South Brunswick also shot their lowest score of the year, a 322 to tic us for the day and keep the West golf team 30 shots behind. We did manage to put some distance between us and Whiteville which is now 56 strokes h.'irk in third. This week we play at Flag Tree Golf Club in Fairmont, a course that has been friendly to our team in the past. If we can toss in another score in the 320s we just may be able to put some heat on the Cougars from South. Sou lit has five very steady players. Four of them, Kopp, Howard, Jones and Broadweil, are averaging under 85, and Brandon Vannoy is nipping at Jeremy Grainger's heels with a 79.3 average. If we catch them by the end of the year, we will have to stick to pars and bogies for the most part. I don't exjvet the Cougars to beat themselves. Their coach Gene "GQ" Doanc hate.- double bogies as much as I do, but he can holler louder than 1 can. Slay tuned lor further reports. This team may prove me to be the biggest dummy of all lor thinking they were a third place team. WILLGOLF ? * BY WILL COCKRELL V.
