If its fall results arc any indication
of the women's golf team's
| capabilities, then the 1986 spring
campaign may be the best in the
history of USC's program.

23rd in the nation by the
Coaches' Association poll, according
to Donna Noonan, who is in
her third year as head coach.
"This team's probably the best
I've had," Noonan said. "I've
got five golfers who arc capable
of shooting 75 or better."
That talent was shown earlier
this year when USC finished
ninth in the Guadalajara Invitational
against tough competition.
) Last fall the Lady Gamecocks
posted a second-place finish in
the Memphis Women's Intercollegiate
and a ninth-place
showing in the Lady Seminole
Golf Invitational.
In the Lady Seminole tournament,
USC scored below 300 as a
team for the first time ever. Also

Morris, who Noonan said is
the Lady Gamecocks' most consistent
performer, and Elizabeth
Maefie of Camden are the top
players. Truie Timmons, Kim
Belk, Liz Galbraith, Laurie Dion
and Sue Kedard round out the
squad.
In the Memphis tournament,
Maefie finished third individually
with scores of 74, 77 and 76; Timmons
placed sixth with scores of
78, 79 and 75.
The l ady Gamecocks have a
busy spring planned, with five
tournaments and the NCAA
championship coming up. In addition
to participating in the
Lady Paladin Invitational at Furman
and the WSIC at Georgia,
they will host the South Carolina
Invitational March 28-30 at The
Woodlands Country Club.
The Lady Gamecocks ate the
defending champion in that
event. A strong field of 13 teams,
including Furman, Georgia, Ohio
State, South Florida and
Alabama, are scheduled to
compete.

First-year IJSC golf coach
Steve Liebler may be the envy of
many other coaches around the
nation.
No, Liebler didn't inherit a
team loaded with seniors or AllAmerica
candidates. But he does
have a squad that is experienced,
although young, and facilities
that are among the best in the
country.
"We're real young as far as age
goes," Liebler said. "But we
have a lot of experience agewise."
There are no seniors on the
squad. According to Liebler, a
former All-Ameriean at IJSC in
1980-81, the top two golfers will
be Jeff Hull, a sophomore from
San Diego, and Matt McCarley, a
junior from Camden. Those two,
along with Robbie Hrubala,
Brian Lenhard, and Bruce
Bulina, will represent USC this
weekend when they compete in
the Gamecocks' first tournament

a career on the Professional
Golfers* Association tour to take
over the USC program. He thinks
his knowledge of the game, particularly
from the mental aspect,
will aid the young golfers.
"Physically, we're just as good
as anybody," he said. "It's my

it's not a sin to go out and make a
mistake on the golf course."

outstanding facilities and a supportive
athletic department. The
Gamecocks have three local
courses ? Spring Valley,
Wildcwood, and The Woodlands
? available for their use, in addition
to practice greens and a dri\ing
range located behind the
Roost. Plans for a golf course at
Bell Camp, which is to be designed
by Jack Nicklaus' company,
are in the developmental stages.
"The athletic department is
real big on making the golf program
