I Golf team loses momentum for season finale By Fritz Wenzel Of The Print The men’s golf team lost all [the momentum it had gradual ly built up throughout the season in the last four days, and lost out on all the honors at the Northwest Athletic Association of Community College (NWAACC) Golf Championships. The cougars finished the tourney in fifth place out'of six teams from the region. The winner of the tournament was Columbia Basin College from Pasco, Wash., who shot a 36-hole total of 613. A distant 11 shots back at 624 was Divi sion 2 champions Clark Col lege of Vancouver. Bellevue was third at a weak 652, Green River shot 664, and Clackamas shot 665. The team fell apart while they played a match against Lower Columbia Community College last Friday, in which they shot a season-high 320 for 18 holes. They consequently lost the match against Lower Columbia by a mere two shots. This mystified Coach Hudson, because just three days earlier, on the same course, the Cougar stickers posted a solid 301. “The team said that the greens were giving them trou ble, but they played the same greens just three days earlier with no trouble at all,” Hud son said. “I think they just had trouble with their concen tration for a while.” Hudson said the team had made very steady progress throughout the entire season and was looking good for the NWAACC Championships, tions less than favorable for but things degenerated at just the top tracksters of Oregon the wrong time. “A while back when we beat and Washington.

Then, on Friday, the wheels fell off,” Hudson said.
