The Douglas College Golf
Team shot_a blistering final
round to come from behind
and take second place at the
Totem Conference Golf Tour-
nament held at the Rivershore
golf coursein Kamloops this
past weekend.

Leading the way for Doug-
las was Garry Cusson, who
shot an 81 Saturday and a 77
Sunday, to place second in
individual scoring.

The Rivershore Golf Course
donated their course free of
charge to the colleges for the
tournament. It is located on
the bank of the Thompson
River and is the second long-
est course in the province at
7,008 yards. (And it is certain-
ly not the easiest.) Although
it is a par 72, the course is
rated at a 74.

The team was composed of
Gary Cusson, Les Somogyi,
Marc Jinnouchi, Martin Hem-
erik and coached by Gert Van

Niekerk. They departed the
college at 8 AM on Friday
September 30 and arrived in
downtown Kamloops at 3 PM.
After dropping off the luggage
the team headed off for a
practice round, (at the course
that is!).

Saturday dawned brightly as
the team trundled down to the

  

time. Unfortunately the tem-
only a few
degrees above freezing! The
greens for the first hour or so
were heavily laden with dew
which made the putting a bit

The Douglas golfers looked
less than impressive during
the opening round. Gary Cus-
son and Marc Jinnouchi shot
an 81 and 87 respectively. Les
Somogyi saw a lot of sand
during those first eighteen
holes, he shot a 94. As a
matter of fact the only person
who saw more sand was coach
Gert Van Niekerk, who was
hitting the bunkers with clock-
like regularity. Martin Hem- a lot of Kamloops and a lot of
erik, on the other hand saw a. the province in general. At the
lot of sand, a lot of water end of the round Douglas was
(especially the Thomson river) 10 fourth place. They trailed

kes, Malaspina by 8 and
Cariboo by 1. Each team’s top
three scores were counted.

Tee off time for Sunday was 8
AM. Saturday night the rains
came. The sky was overcast at
the beginning of the round
however it quickly cleared.
Sunny Skies and warm tem-
peratures were the order for
the rest of the day.

Although the Douglas team
were late getting. out of the
hotel for the final round coach
Van Niekerk made up for lost
time by doing his Starsky and
Hutch imitation on the roads.

For the final eighteen holes
Douglas stormed back with a
vengeance. Les Somogyi was
the big difference as he shot
an 81, bettering his previous
score by 13 strokes. Gary shot
a red hot 77. Marc shot an 85
and Martin took another
scenic tour of the countryside.
Gert led all coaches with an 83
