By Freddy Hernandez, Sports Editor
They are the Tiger Woods of Chaffey. That may be a bit of
an exaggeration, but last year the team won three out of sixteen games. Don’t
scoff. That is actually a considerable feat since it was golf’s first
season ever They are the Tiger Woods of Chaffey. That may be a bit

season ever in the history of Chaffey sports.

Stark What kind of players does the golf team need? Coach
Stark explains, “A good golfer is someone who has a sound knowledge
of the game, a good grip, and a nice stance.He
or she also has to know what golf is.”
Practices usually take place at The Empire Lakes Golf Club in Rancho Cucamonga. The
sessions last an hour and a half to two hours.
The season hasn’t officially started yet, but it is expected to begin on February
15th and last through the first week of May. There are usually
two to three matchesa week
and twenty matches a year against other schools with golf programs, like
Los Altos High.But the school that
Coach Stark and Coach Rushreally consider a rival is Alta Loma.
Why would you want to play golf? When asked that question, a member of the
team, Mynor Pinillos (02)explains,
“I joined the golf team because I heard it was fun. I heard golf was a
good learning experience.”
Frank Aguire (02)says the reason he joined the team is because “I needed to get involved with something
after school, and golf was the best thing for me.”
Take it from these players; if you want something fun and educational to do
after school; an activity that improves your concentration and gets you
out of the house, Coaches Stark and Rush would love to see you golfing
for Chaffey.
