Terp Golf Coach Provides Yordstick
Measuring Home Course ADVANTAGE

Most collegiate teams try to
get a practice round over a
visiting course before playing
it, but this isn't always pos
sible. Sometimes it doesn't t
even help.
The Terps, 81 so far this
season, took their only loss
against Clemson, 14-13, at Bos-
cobel Country Club, near Ander-
son, s. c. They had gotten in
some practice shooting the day
before, but the next day il
turned windy and the course
played as if it suddenly had
been revamped.
That represents one of the
difficulties in hitting the road

cover even more. All but one
of their remaining matches
this season are booked for the
road.

last year when the record was

gauges it, but the Terps' home
string isn't entirely due to this
sort of an advantage. They've
got a couple of sharpshooters
in Ron Scales and Sophomore

years, Cronin's teams have
compiled a 105-56-1 record
which indicates they can win

it a fair test, even for visitors
