Buc golfers looking forward to snow free course
By Renee Orluck
Reporter
In North Dakota, golf is a spring
sport in which one needs to practice
with a brightly colored ball to show
up in the snow banks.
The Buccaneers boys team is
coached by veteran golfer Jim
Groll. Coach Groll is in his 21st
year of coaching and 40th year of
participating in the sport.
"I see us being in the middle of
the pack as a team," said Groll. "If
the kids work hard and give 100
percent, they can learn the game
and enjoy it for the rest of their
lives."
The team boasts senior Gunnar
Farstveet, who qualified for state
last year and hopes to repeat that
performance.
Senior Cole Erickson has come
a long way with this being just his
third year out, and Groll is hopeful
he can earn a spot at state, too.
Four - year veterans of the team
include Lincoln Hegel and Kyler
Frank. The team includes a dozen Pulpit in Medora. The Buccaneers
members in junior high and varsity have nine meets this year, including
combined. They practice both on one which they will be hosting at
the course in Beach and at Bully Bully Pulpit on Monday, May 7.
