The USC women's golf
team, which went from the
blackboard to 16th in the
nation in one season, enters
the 1981 fall season totally
intact from a year ago, along
with three newcomers. whilp
the men's team has gained
valuable experience.
Joining last season's lineup
for the second edition of
women's golf at Carolina
will be four standout
freshmen. Kim Simmons,
from Charleston, was the
USGA Junior runner-up this
summer: Kandi KprsW ic
the Virginia State Amateur
champion; Lise Anne
Russell, of New City,
N.Y., is a former N^w York
State Amateur ai.j PGA
Junior champion. Andrea
Dornin, a Pittsburgh native,
will also join the team.
"On paper, we have got to
do better than last season,"
Head Golf Coarh Rnhhv
Foster cited. "If the women
as a team realize that we can
really be good and then go
after it, then we will have a
very good year.
"With this only our second
year, we don't have the
tradition to be one of the
country's 'elite' teams, but

on a given day we could beat

"I THINK WE ARE going
to be a good team," Foster
said of his 1981-82 men's
squad. "We have 13 people
who are capable of playing
golf for us, it's just a matter
of who steps forward.''
Foster will monitor the
team's movement during
qualifying rounds, which
began Tuesday and will run
through Friday. And though

he admits that the starting
five slots are open, Foster is
expecting George MacDonald
to emerge as a team
leader.
"George had a great
summer, which makes me
optimistic," the fifth-year
coach said. "He has proven
himself to be an AilAmerican
candidate."

decisive 10 and 9 match-play
win. He was runner-up to
Steve Liebler, who ended his
USC golf career in May, in
the Eastern Amateur.
"We are a year older and a
year wiser," Foster said of
the team that returned all its
players except Liebler. "I
think the general feeling is
that we know we've got the
talent, and everyone is ready
to give a real good effort."

f Teams
The spring season in men's
golf is the only determinate
to which teams go to the
national tournament, but
Foster sees the fall competition
as a tuning-up
period.
"Between our qualifying,
challenge matches, schedule
and competition this fall, we
should be in good shape
when the bell rings this
spring," Foster said.
STEVE LIEBLER has
made a big step towards the
pro golf tour, Foster said.
"I'm real excited ? Steve
has acquired a sponsor and
is assured of financial
backing for three years," he
said. "I'm not worried about
Steve's ability and
dedication, and getting a
sponsor was a big hurdle for
him to clear."
Foster admitted that
former Gamecocks that
make it to the tour (exGamecock
Mike Holland is
currently on the circuit)
bring many benefits back to
Carolina.
"Having our former
players on tour helps our ;
recruiting, establishes
tradition and gives good
publicity for the school,"
Foster observed. "So for him
(Liebler) and us, I hope he
does well."
