Using his iron, Dayne Ziara

tries to hit the ball on the right

spot. Ziara was grateful he

could be a part of the team.

For Gallary Listort, Lucas Morris,Clay Whitfield,and Mike Morris,

the opportunity of hitting at the driving ranges and treading the

putting greens free of charge was a good enough reason to make

them try out for the team. But even for such a young team, playing

They had to improve the way they developed their swings and

listen to Coach McEntire

when he told them which

believed "golf can teach anyone life lessons like integrity and

honesty." Mike Morris joked that playing for the team had taught

him "not to cheat." Gabrielle Webb and Dayne Ziara both agreed

that patience was what they had learned the most. Clay Whitfield

added, "Together with patience, one can have confidence in God

that no matter how a game would turn out,God was still in control."

To remind himself, Clay used a heads-up penny to mark his ball on Matt Armstrong (Chairperson and Vice Chairperson), Bobby

Berry (Parliamentarian), Justin Makso (Chaplain), Jorge Natal

the green—the side that reminded him that "In God we [should] (Song Leader); Not pictured: Hillary Bess (Secretary), Jaimie

trust." Although each player was determined to help build a stron­ Robinson (Treasurer)

ger and better team next season, one thing was certain; the game

had already made them better—for free.
