Coach Pohle appears to schedule the golf tee times so that the team's hangovers (and his own) wear off before the first ball is hit. Often playing at 1pm, and of course, ALWAYS with a cart, the team's golf is inconsistent, to say the least. In 2004, freshman Alex Mallory followed up a generous 115 at Hawk's Nest with a 69 two days later at Grand Harbor to win the alumni tournament.
More important than the actual golf rounds in 2005 were the pre-round putting matches. In perhaps the most epic golf match ever played on a putting green, Nick "Cup" Ryder made three straight 20-foot benders to beat Kevin "Shits" Kellert 1-up on the 18th hole at Hawk's Nest, ensuring Kevin would not win the overall putting title. Ryder raced around the green to high-fiving teammates and old people alike after every made putt, and during the match said he wanted to make putts against Kevin more than he had ever wanted anything before. The victory improved Ryder's putting record to 2-7, but was by far the most impressive round of Ryder's year, easily trumping his collection of tournament 70's and 71's.
Some of the better courses hacked up by the team are "Not So" Grand Harbor's River course (nickname by Ned Wydysh '04...), Hawk's Nest, BallenIsles, PGA Golf Club's Dye course, The Fox Club, and the McArthur Club. The worst course played is certainly Sand Ridge - "off to Sand Crotch again," said Ned at the beginning of every Spring Break.
