Golf: The final tournament of the
B.C.C.A.A. Golf Championships
was played October 15th and 16th
at the scenic but tough Fair Winds
Golf and Country Club near
Nanaimo. The Douglas College
golf team represented by Brian Kil-
lins, Derrin Geisheimer, Willis
Pamell, Steve Tindle and Adam
White finished third behind
Malaspina College and
Simon Fraser Univer-

sity. The Douglas team
played consistently
throughout the tourna-
ment and finished with

a stroke average of 79.5.
The already difficult

Fair Winds course was
made even tougher by
wel, soggy conditions.
Top scorer for Douglas
was Brian Killins with
rounds of 77 and 78

over the two days. The
low gross score for the
tournament was tured in
by Dave Bennett of S.F.U. with
rounds of 70 and 75. The final
standings for the tournament were:
1. Malaspina College

2. Simon Fraser University

3. Douglas College

4, University of B.C.

5. Cariboo College

6. Fraser Valley College

In the final standings for the 1988
B.C.C.A.A. Championships,
Douglas finished second behind
Malaspina with Fraser Valley Col-
lege finishing third. In the spring
of 1989 the Douglas golf team will
be competing in junior college tour-
naments in Washington State
before concluding the year with a
trip to the Monterey Peninsula to
play courses such as Pebble Beach
and Spyglass.
