The golf team is ready to begin another season. “We just came back from Ocean City, M.D., where the golf team has been getting ready for the upcoming season,” Dr. Tony Verde said. Verde, the team’s head coach, traveled to Ocean City with the team where he has been helping his player’s fine tune their skills for this season. Though the cold weather is back, what events lie ahead for the golf team?
At the moment the team consists of seven to eight members. Some of which have played on the team for at least one season. Some of its members are golf enthusiasts, playing for leisure and for competition, but this year they are playing for a common goal. Verde mentioned that the college would be hosting the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference golfing championship this year.
“The team will be practicing at the Spring Ford Country Club” Verde said, “where the team will prepare for upcoming matches and tournaments.” The golf team will play against other colleges in the area.
Anthony D’Aleo, junior and team captain, feels that the team has a good chance at winning the PAC title. He mentioned that Coach Verde referred to training as “boot camp.” “We played 100 golf holes in three days and the team was feeling better by the end of practice,” D’Aleo said. The defending champions, Wesly College, will be the team’s toughest competitors according to D’Aleo. The golf teams first match is against Arcadia, which will be in the first week of April.
