return to the links
— and the road
Believe it or not, the spring golf season has arrived.
Despite the adverse elements and the fact that it is still (technically) “winter,” the University
golf squad, under second-year coach Scott Krieger, is hard at work preparing for its upcoming
slate of tournaments. Rain or shine, the Ducks practice three days a week, slogging their way from
driving range to putting green.
Due to Oregon’s inclement weather, it
might seem fortunate that many of
the Ducks' tournaments will be tak
ing place in California. The Rancho
Murieta Invitational in Sacramento
on March 7-8 will be the team's first
trip outside of Oregon this spring
season.
However, many of their tournaments, and all of
their "important” ones, take place on the road. This
could cause problems for individual golfers, and for
the program as a whole.
"You’re not going to get many good teams to
come up here and play. Most of the major tour
naments are down in California," explains Krieger,
who at 26 is the youngest head coach in any of the
Unerersity’s 16 sports. "The traveling hurts our
budget more than it does other schools.”
“We have to be a lot more selective on the tour
naments we go to. But where it hurts us the most is
preparing for the type of environment we're going to
be playing In,” Krieger says, “it’s hard to prepare in
Eugene for the environment you’re going to be play
ing on in Fresno, or L.A., or Phoenix.”
The rigors of the road are a well-known compo
nent in most sports. Golf is no exception. Case in
point: Intercollegiate golf is divided into fall and spr
ing seasons. The Ducks were on the road for all four
1984 faM tournaments — and in Krieger’s mind, did
not do particularly well, due to so much road time
and lack of familiarity with the courses.
“We played poorly,” Krieger says. "We were
inconsistent."
Of the four fall tournaments, the Ducks' highest
finish was a second place (out of seven teams) in the
junior, two sophomores and a freshman.
"We’re definitly a team of the future,” Krieger
says.
At this point, the Ducks’ top man looks to be
junior George Daves. Daves is coming off a strong
fall season in which he placed in the top 10 in three
of the Ducks’ four tournaments. Daves also won the
individual title at the Oregon State Fall Invitational.
Krieger holds Daves in high regard. “I think he
has a good shot at making one of the top three teams
in the All-American this year,” the coach says. “He’s
our most consistent player. He just knows how to
score when he’s on the golf course. I really believe
that he’ll make it to the NCAA’s even if the team
doesn’t. He’s that good of a player.”
A tight battle is emerging for the team’s number
two spot, between Oregon Amateur Champion
Delong, and Huff, a sophomore.
"Rob (Huff) is probably our most
player," Krieger says. “He didn’t play much
but he showed drastic improvement
summer.”
Croy Cochran is the Ducks’ number four man.
Only a freshman, Cochran is representive of the
abundant youth that Krieger feels the team is bless
ed with.
"Croy’s a great young player. He’s going to help
us out a lot as time goes on,” Krieger says.
Filling the team's fifth spot is third year
sophomore Tony Joyner.
“He’s another one of the guys that’s going to be
around for two or three more years,” says Krieger.
The Ducks will be taking along a sixth man on
many of their road trips. Sophomore Tam Bronkey,
senior Gerry Norquist, and freshman Gregg Patter
improved
last year,
over the
.
uregon &iaie umversiiy r-au invna
tional. In the remaining three tour
naments, the Ducks placed fifth (out
of 16), 15th (out of 18) and 12th (out
of 15).
Golf is a temperamental game
by nature. Tournaments are rarely
dominated by the same players from
week to week. As Krieger points out,
the disadvantages of having to play
on an unfamiliar course can be
negated by a player’s mental
preparation and physical abilities.'
These factors are just as important,
perhaps more so, than the golfer’s
knowledge of course conditions and
layout, Kreiger says.
That the University squad did
not do well during the fall does not
mean such will be the case this spr
ing, at home or on the road. Krieger
is emphatically optismistic and, so
Scott Krieger
son are tne top contenders for that
last open spot.
With such a young squad,
Krleger realizes that the team needs
to take things one step at a time.
“We like to think we can
become a nationally-ranked team
again. We were in the middle 70's. I
think we’ll get back to that,” Krieger
predicts. "This year, realistically, is
kind of a rebuilding year for us.
We’re really tryipg to get ourselves
ready for next year, because we’re
going to be very good.”
By no means, though, does
Krieger rule out the possibility that
the Ducks could qualify and do well
as a team at this year’s NCAA
championships.
“I’d like to see us make it as a
team,” Krieger says. “Five or six will
make it out of our district. I think
so far, the results bear him out.
Over the weekend of February 3-4, the Ducks
hosted OSU for what Krieger termed a“preparatory”
meet. The results were a solid 28-stroke victory for
the University golf squad. Oregon’s Rob Huff won
the individual title.
The Ducks have only one more home meet, the
Pacific Northwest Invitational February 25-26. They
will be on the road for their remaining eight tour
naments, leading up to the Pac-10 Championships
April 29-May 1 in Walla Walla, Wash. The NCAA
Championship follows, in Winter Haven, Fla. May
22-25.
With that kind of a schedule, the Ducks have to
be able to perform well on the road if they are to have
a successful year.
The University golf team is a young one. Of
Krieger’s top five players, only one, John DeLong, is
a senior. The remainder of the squad consists of a
we’re running ninth right now, so we have a long way
to go. But 75 percent of the schedule is still left."
Although golf is considered a “minor sport” at
the University, its budget has almost doubled in the
past year. Because it generates all of its own money,
Krieger explains, the golf program is more indepen
dent than some of the other minor sports. Krieger
says he'd like to show his thanks to the squad’s
many local supporters by striving to re-establish the
Ducks as a Northwest and national power.
“We were (a Northwest power) for years. Oregon
State didn’t beat us for over a decade. Then last year
they really improved and so did the University of
Washington,” says Krieger. “At this moment the
three of us are fairly equal. I think we’re going to im
prove a lot within the next year and hopefully move
out ahead of them.”
