Georgia golf teams record victories in SIC tournaments
By NORM REILLY
Sports editor
Trailing Oklahoma State by four strokes after 45 holes of play,
the Georgia Bulldogs' men s golf team rallied on the back nine at
the Athens Country Club Saturday to take its fourth consecutive
Southern Intercollegiate Tournament, edging the defending
NCAA champion Cowboys by two shots.
Junior Griff Moody, who finished second in the individual 1
standings, clinched the victory for his team when he sank a 15
putt on the 18th green
The Bulldogs finished with a three-round total of 874 while
Oklahoma State had 876 Oral Roberts was third at 880 followed
by Houston at 896. Wichita State 897, and TCU at 899.
Georgia coach Dick Copas admitted he was worried at the
halfway point of the final round “At the turn. I knew we were in
trouble but we put a little pressure on them on the back nine.”
Copas said.
We felt like we needed to win this tournament to get ready for
the SEC because when it's all said and done, it you don’t win the
SEC, you ain't won nothing,” he added
Bob Tway, a sophomore native of Marietta. Ga.. won the
individual title for Oklahoma State with a 211 total, defeating
Moody by one stroke ”1 played pretty well today but I was kind
of disappointed we didn't win the team title,” Tway said after his
final round 71. “We didn’t play quite good enough, though.”
Moody, playing before his hometown friends, didn't seem too
upset about not winning the individual title, but instead was
overjoyed that the Bulldogs won their first tournament of the
year. "We’ve been working all year for a win,” he said. “We
hung in there and finally got it.” Moody said that the feeling he
got after sinking the long putt on the final hole was the best he
had experienced all season.
Madden Hatcher was another Georgia player to perform well
in the tournament. Hatcher had a three-round total of 219. Joe
Holbrook slipped some on Saturday but still completed the
tourney with a 220. Senior Joe Walter played consistent golf,
except for the second round when he skied to an 80 Walter
finished the SIC with a 223. Stuart Rumph was at 234 for Georgia.
Jim Kane of Oral Roberts, who set a course record with his 66
last Thursday, faltered the final two days and finished eight
strokes behind Tway with a 219.
Georgia will be in action May 10-12 for the SEC Championships
in Birmingham and more than likely will be one of the favorites
to take home the team title. As Moody says, "we know we can
win now We proved we can beat the number one team in the
country (Oklahoma State).”

Terri Moody sank a three-foot putt on the final hole of the
Women’s Southern Intercollegiate Championship to salvage a
one-shot victory for Georgia's women's golf team Sunday
With the Bulldogs holding a one-shot lead over the University
of Tulsa. Moody placed a chip shot within three feet of the
eighteenth pin and dropped the resulting putt to secure Georgia's
win.
Georgia entered Sunday's final round wth a commanding
11-stroke lead over the 25-team field, but the wide margin slowly
disappeared as Tulsa charged into contention wtih a WSIC
record-setting 304 team score. Georgia's final 948 score held off
Tulsa's challenging 949 team mark
Moody’s three day 232 total was good enough for third place in
the individual standings behind Furman's Sherri Turner, who
had a 225 total, and Tulsa's Carolyn Hill, who finished with a 230
score. Carol Donald finished fourth with a 233 total for Georgia.
“This was the best field assembled in women s golf outside of
the national championship,” said women's coach Liz Murphey,
"and for it to go down to the final putt of the whole tournament
was really nerve-racking to say the least."
"This was definitely our biggest win of the season." Murphey
said. "Tulsa had played super golf and there was a lot of
pressure on Terri Moody, but we can always count on Terri "
Junior Carol Donald posted her lowest competitive round ever
in the tournament with a 82-74-77; 233 mark to hold the Bulldogs
together. “We count too much on Terri and Mitzi Edge."
Murphey said, "but Carol gave us the strength and depth to pull
us through.”
Mitzi Edge found her problems on her home course, as she
followed her opening rounds of 76 and 81 with a soaring 86 Sunday
for a 243 total. Edge's 86 did not count in the final round of play.
l/)ri Clark rounded out Georgia’s team score with a 242 total.
Debbie Wooley carded a 250 score, and Sandy Lumpkin added a
261 mark in the Bulldogs' victory.
Georgia doesn’t see action again until mid-June when they
compete in the National Championships, and Murphey is
optimistic about her team’s potential. "I feel pretty good about
our chances in the national tournament, and the girls feel super.”
she stated. “There were only about five major teams in the
country that missed this tournament, so we're going in on a
cloud.”
Following Georgia and Tulsa in the WSIC tournament was 1978
national champion University of Miami (965), San Jose State
University <968>, and the University of North Carolina <978).
Auburn University and the University of Florida tied for sixth.
Baseballers sweep Vols; eye playoffs
By ED LEGGE
The Georgia baseballers
swept a three-gaine series with
Tennessee last weekend and
improved their SEC record to
10-9, which virtually tied the
Dogs with the Kentucky
Wildcats and put them back in
contention for the SEC play
offs.
In the first game of the
series, pitcher Greg Morris
struck out ten batters to pace
the Dogs to an 8-4 win In
probably his best performance
of the year, Morris retired the
last batter in each of the
game s seven innings.
A six-run third inning, which
included a two-run double by
Gil Mende and a three-run
homer by Buck Belue. also
highlighted the first game
Belue's homer, his twelfth of
the year, tied the school record
for most home runs in a
season.
Bubba Chrismer became the
unlikely hero of the second
game as his home run late in
the game gave Georgia a 3-2
victory Chrismer’s homer
came in the ninth inning after
2-2 tie had forced the game
into extra innings.
Joe Stewart's two-run double
in the fourth inning put the
Dogs ahead 2-1 only to have
Tennessee tie the game 2-2 in the
bottom half of the fifth. The
game remained tied until
Chrismer’s heroics put the
Dogs ahead for good
Mark Harris, who entered
the game in the fifth inning in
relief of Peyton Mosher, gave
up only four hits in five innings
foi the Dogs in the second
game
Chrismer's bat was again
blazing in the third game of
the series on Saturday. He
connected for two homers for a
total of four runs in the sixth
and eighth innings, which
allowed the Dogs to tie the
Vols at game's end and win the
game in the tenth inning.

Wind luxuries do you get
in your luxury Apartment?
While luxury apartments— at the going rate— arc decidedly a luxury, they
really offer very little of it. For instance, there’s no maid service. Xo meals
come widi the room. Therc’s no shuttle service to pick you up al the d<xir
and whisk you to class. You have to supply your own furniture and your own
TV And perhups worst of all, you have to pay for your utilities on top of the
high rent.
Of course it would lie silly to expect any place to do all that for you.
Except that Oglethorpe house does do all that. It ulso provides a study’
nx>m, a game room, a weight room, a music room and a swimming jxxtl.
That's why we’re 1009E full. If you want to join the lucky people at
Oglethorpe House, itetter apply now.
