The Men’s golf team season started with flyers asking for more people to join their team.
When those flyers were posted not many students responded to the flyers, but one student Jeff Gagnon wanted to join.
“It’s been a very fun season for all of us so far,” Gagnon said, “We’ve played on many tough courses and it’s been an eye opening season.”
After his two years of playing golf is done at Citrus he wants to transfer to schools such as University of California, Irvine, University of California, Riverside or even the Claremont schools such as Cal Poly Pomona.
“This year’s Citrus men’s golf team has been a very big struggle so far,” Coach Trip said.
Trip is in his eighth season as head coach for the men’s golf team said, “I have a very young non knowledgeable team but the upside of that is that I have a lot of red shirts so that means they want to stay an extra year.”
Another reason why recruiting players on campus is a hard task in itself is that golf is a money sport and not many people can afford to buy a new set of clubs.
“Golf is a funny sport” he said, “not many kids want to go to junior college for golf unless they want to try and get a scholarship,” Julian Horton said.
“I think I’m going to feel better about next season because we will have more knowledge about the sport and we are recruiting some pretty good incoming freshmen so I have high hopes for the future,” Horton said.
The Citrus Owls are 4-20 over the course of the season so far.
