Inexperience haunted the Texas
A&M Women’s Golf team as they
placed 16th in the Association for In

national tournament.
The tournament, held amongst
the palms of Honolulu, Hawaii, was

vidual title with a 72-hole score of
299.
The Aggies were represented by
Brenda Goldsmith, Rita Aquilar,
Betty Ghia, Carol Berry and Susan
Smerek, of whom only Goldsmith
had more than one year’s experience
in national tournament play.
“The girls were relatively inex
perienced,” Coach Kitty Holley
said. “But they will be more sea
soned next year.”
All but Goldsmith return for next
season with Berry and Aquilar hav
ing three years of eligibility remain
ing.
Goldsmith has been the mainstay
of the A&M squad throughout her
career and is a prime pro prosepct.
However, she will not turn profes
sional until after she receives her de
gree next year.
“We regret losing Brenda,” Hol
ley said,. “But I think our team will
be stronger overall next year.”
The Aggies finished their four
days in Hawaii with a team score of
1312, only four strokes behind the
No. 15 team, Florida International.
Texas A&M had qualified for the
finals as the No. 18 team and moved
up two notches before the tourney
was completed.

races to determine the state’s repre
sentative to the national race.
Schively and his regular partner,
John Bugge, completed a 419-mile
race from San Marcos to Seadrift re
cently, winning first in the men’s
aluminum division.
It took the duo 48 hours and 19
minutes to finish the race, one hour
above the course record. Of the 31
boats that entered the race, only 21
finished.
Food and other supplies had to be
in the boat before the race, there was
no stopping along the way except for
water. The two Aggies ran out of food
before the second night of the jour
ney. They survived on a minimal
amount of sleep, 30 minutes apiece
the first day and 15 minutes apiece
the second day.
The two had never gone down the
river before at night, but managed to
keep their boat upright the entire
race.
Goldsmith led the team with score
of 313, posting a 74 on the third
round. She ballooned to an 84 for the
final round after becoming ill.
Aquilar finished next with a 333,
while Ghia ended with a 335.
Smerek had a 339 for the tournament
and Berry finished with a 350 score.
“We didn’t do as well as we had
hoped,” Holley said. “It was a good
course. . . a very fair course. But it
was extremely windy all of the time
we were there.”
Two former Texas A&M football
players, both leaving the school last
spring after failing to meet Univer
sity academic standards, may return
for the fall.
Linebacker Roderic Reed and de
fensive lineman Eugene Sanders
are making up for bad grades at
unior colleges this summer and
Texas A&M athletic department of
ficials are optimistic they will be
able to return.
Reed was one of several players
looked at to replace all-America
inebacker Robert Jackson, who
graduated last year.
Sanders, who transferred from
Washington last season, was the
only starter returning to A&M’s de
fensive line.
Tulsa placed second to Miami in
the team race, finishing 16 strokes
behind the leaders with a 1,236. The
University of Texas placed eighth
and Houston Baptist tied for tenth
with Arizona.
Defending indvidual champion,
Nancy Lopez of Tulsa, ended the
tourney in a four-way tie for second
place with a 301 score.
Holley said she was optimistic
about next season as two of her re
cruits could make up for the loss of
Goldsmith.
She signed Texas AAAA women’s
champ Kim Bauer of Conroe and
Wisconsin state champ Andrea
Welch. Bauer won the Texas title by
16 strokes over her nearest competi
tor.
