1978 UEN'S Ollrl,OOK
A conblnation of the o1d aDd the ner' leaves stadord 8o1f coach Bruce
Sumerhays optl-nlstlc 1n h1s flrst seasoo rdth the Cardinal Een.
The old--senlor Mlke Peck, a second-tesn A11-Ane!lca tn 1977 alrd a thtrd-tean choice 1n '76, \rho beglns hls third season as stanford rs nubber one golfer.
And the nen--freslman Doug Clarke of San Diego, I'ho Sumelhays bel1€vea has
the potential !o be one of the best co1leg1ale Solfers ln the country by hls aenlor
year.
"The outlook 1s irteresting,ir says Srimerhays, who replaces 39-year coach
Bud Ftrlger, now manager and pro at the Stanford Golf Course. "lJe could surprise
a lot of people if our young golfers cone through,"
Suunerhal's hae a btt of rebullding to do after Stadford rs Paclflc-8 Southern
Divlslon championshlp and l5th-place flnish in the NCAA last season. lhree membels
of the NCAA squad--Gtenn Goethals, Jay Johnston and Andy Macxay--have gladuated, ehilejunior l(iD Cater w1I1 coopete only part-llne this se€son in order to cooceottate on
hls pre-nedlcal studies.
The leade! of the Cardioals wiLl be Peck, eho flnished 22nd 1o the 1977 NCAA
Chanplo[ships and tled for the Pac-8 Southern Dlvlsloo tndividual crord. The only
senior on thls yearts squad, Peck 1s one of the longest drlvers ln the college 8arde.
The hlghllght of hls careei cane ln 1976, nhen he noll the U.S. Col1e8late Invltatlonalat Stanford and tied Ton watson's record of 2I2 for the lhree-louDd toulnanent.
But Clarke could challeDge Peck for the nr.mber one spot before the season 1s
through. The 1977 CIt Player of the Year, Clarke $oo the 1976 Trans-!119s1€6iPPt
Analeur and the r77 Southern Califolnla ADateur, and placed secoad 1n last yearrs
Westeln Afiateur. In wlnnlng the Southern Ca1 tourney' he defeated clto-tlne defendlng
NCAA charnplon Scott Slnpson of USC.

Behind Peck and Clarke, Surnmerhays lates lunlor Bud Ardell. The 1976 l.lvp forBakersfleld J.C,, Ardel1 calle to Stanford in 1977 and played well ln several varsltyoutings,
"Hers a real sleeper," Su.@erhays says of Arde11, "Ite doesn't have a flashyreputation, but he ahrays comes through with a good round.i'
A quartet of talented sophoroores, led by J.C. transfer Steve Schroeder, willcontend for the other spots among the top slx. Schroealer, who cones to Stanford
after winning l,lVP honors at Menlo College last season, finlshed thlrd {n the
Northern californla quafifylng sectlon of the 1977 U.S. Anateur, sumerhays says
the graduate of Bellannine Prep is the best putter anong the Carditlals,
Other sophs to eatch are l(en Bak6t, a forDer Nee York State Junior Medalist,teo-tlne Southern Callfornla junior chanplon Doug Wit11an6 and two-time Colorado
state chanpiod Jeff Arms !r ong .
Sunnerhays also clte6 Junior Eduardo Cortes and fEeshnan Erlc Mors€ as strong
candidates for the varslty. Cortes, fron Bogota, Colonb1a, iron two rtatlonal Junlortennls lltles and tr,ro nationel prep golf titles ln his home country, rhl1e Morse
has played quile \rell for the Cards irt the early neets of the season.
Overal1, SuE[erhays says the Cards nay be stronger than ln 1977, but he adds
that so 1s the rest of the conference.
"USC (flfth in 1977 NCAA dee!) and UCIA are both inproved. Up north Oregon
(seventh 1n r77 NCAA) has another strong teaD, The competitlon Is leveling out
around the reEt of the country, too.rl
On the natlonal scene Surdnetheys rates def€ndlng chanplon llouston, Oklahoma
State and BrighaD Young the favorltes, with hopes that the Cards can crack the top
15.

1978 wOtlEN'| S OUTLOO(
Though rhe 1978 edltlon of Stanfordrs wornenrs golf wonrr have strengthin nu[rbels, flrst-year coach Bruce Suftnerhays says hls six-rdeDber squad has the
nucleus for a solid progran on The Farm.
"Wetre a young team," says Su@erhays, who takes over the sonenrs tean fron2l-year coach Carroll Dlaz, now the fult-tine direclor of Stanford's physical educa-
tlon progran for golf. "lJe have to overcome a lot of the inconslgtencles that hurtthe lronen last year. "
Back for her thlrd year as the Cerdrs top player is lunior Sally Voss, tnicean All Nor-Ca1 Conference selectlon. Voss has been consistently below 80 tn the
early nalches of the season, and could cofltend for the leaguers lndtvldual tltle."Sheis going to be e rorderful player," Sumeihays says. i'She has the abtltty
to lrin sone toulnanelts this season. Sally has had sone bad tounds ln the pa€t, butnow sheis playtng with more patlence and.naking good shots."
Voss has a lengthy l1st of acconpllshments to het record. In addition tonurerous slate and Mlddle Atlantic litles won durln8 her high school days tnBethesda, !1d., voss participated tn the 1977 U.S. Wonen's Open. Sultmerhays lauds
her ablltty to hit drlves wlth dlstance as rle11 as accuracy.
BaltLlng for the nunber two spot behind Voss are freshrnan Petty Plchoo aod
sophonore AII{son Ftnney. Plchol!, fron Aurora, Co1o., ron state lunior tltles 1n
1974 end '76, and twlce flnlshed second itl the Denver wonenrs Invltaliona1. The
nlnner of the 1977 Colgate-Palnollve Wonen's Golf Scholarshtp, Ptchon held the
distlnc!1on of being the flrst wonan on the golf tead at Cherry Creek HlBh School.
"Patty is an excellent golfer right now, but rlLl. contlnue !o lnprove," says
SuErerhays, "She 1s a flnesse player eho has the potentlal to develop loto alr out-standlng colleBlate golfe!. llet success on the Junior and prep levels speaks forttself. "
Finney, eho Sumerhays says la the stroflgest nernber of the tean, played aDong
the Caldinalst top thlee as a freshnan in 1977. She Ia a strong httter oho playeil on
the oents golf tean at Ne\r Trler East {tgh in Wtnnetka, Ill."A11lson has the capabilities to be overporertnS,r' says Suunerhays. "Few
people wtll outdrive her durlng the course of the season.,'
RoundlnS out the I'onents 6quad are sophonores Rathanne Llmch and Nola Mlyasaki
and senlor Sue lloovet. Lynch, a forEer Connecticut Junlor chanplon, 1s an outstandingathlete who 16 one of the Cardlnalsr strongest players arouod the greens, Miyasakl
also has an accurate short gane, whlle Hoover returns fo! her fourth year on the
varslty.Ovetall, Sumerhays says hls'78 squad is actually two teans in ooe.
"we have three g1r1s who can conslstently bteak 80, and aoother three who loay
at tldes struggle to get into the 80rs. We have soDe good young talent, but l.re,te
short on exper{ence.'l
Sufioerhays plcks defendlng conference chanpion Sen Jose State as a heavy
favorite lo lhe Nor-Cal, with Stanford havlng a strong shot et second.
"San Jose w111 be extrenely tough to beat, Rlght now I would rank theh anong
the top fou! teans in the nation.r'
Agaln this year, the No!-Cal tean chanploo l.ill be declded by a series of one-
round tournanents alternated aroong the flve league sites. The Stanford colf Course
