D.C. golf squad building a dynasty Douglas College golf coach Gert van Niekerk must be thinking about a dynasty. Not only did the golf team win its third consecutive BCCAA championship this year, but Belmont Golf Course in Langley has offered to sponsor the team this year, something that other courses re- fused to do. The sponsorship means that team mem- bers can practice at Belmont free of charge and that Douglas College can host its an- nual BCCAA tournament at Belmont -- free of charge. "This kind of sponshorship is common in the U.S., and it shows in their play when we go there," says van Niek- 1st Spartans. Led by Chris Wohlleben, Sasha Kunder and Sherry Laffling, the Royals won 3-0 and 3-1. Meanwhile, the men’s squad shifted to 3-3 for the season after dropping a pair of games to Trinty Western. In basketball, last season’s women’s na- tional bronze medalists opened their regular season with victories of 91-33 over Okanagan University College and 69- 53 over University College of the Cariboo on November 19-20. Similarly, the Royals men, 1993 national silver medalists, defeated Okanagan 89-60 and Cariboo 95-80. ml erk. "Here in B.C., the expense invariably comes from stu- dents’ pockets, because the College couldn’t afford it. Now we can go out and practice as a team. I was so surprised, because we didn’t ask Belmont for it; they offered it. It’s such a generous gesture." Meanwhile, four other Royals teams were charging out of their gates. The Royals’ badminton team, the nation’s preemiment college squad for the past two years, won all five events in the season’s first BCCAA tour- nament held here on November 5 and 6. Individual winners were Julia Chen in Women’s and Corey Loken in Men’s Singles. The Women’s volleyball team was ranked fifth nationally as B.C.C.A.A.
