Primed for the Ivy titleThe men's golf team kicked off their practice season on Wed., Sept. 2 with plans to both improve on the team's past success and possibly divide the team in two. At the first official meeting, Coach David Paterson announced that Yale's golf program may expand to include both a varsity and junior varsity team. Precipitating this decision was the fact that according to league regulations, Yale currently has too many players on its varsity team.Although practice has just begun, many of Yale's golfers have already begun getting in shape in preparation for one of the team's biggest tournaments: the Sept. 12-13 Yale Invitational. Golfer Peter Schumacher, CC '00, said, "We should do well at the Yale Invitational, not only because it's a good course, but also because of the home advantage." Yale's first road tournament is at Dartmouth, a rather unpopular course because of its small greens. Despite this, the team is anticipating an Eli victory. Although the season has just begun, the team is sure of its goal: defeating rivals Pennsylvania, the defending Ivy champion. With the top four travel players on the team returning--including captain Scott Brinker, JE '99, Ian MacAllister, MC '00, Schumacher, and Eddie Brockner, MC '01--the team's future looks bright. --Alison Morris
