The women's golf team behind Cara Gemby's 83 (1st), locked with Green River C.C. on the leaderboard scoring 308 which was good enough for 1st overall. Royals Bridget O'Brien finished second with a score of 99.

Birdies, Bogies and a Long Shot. The men?s golf team is ready to go, according to Head Coach Gert Van Niekerk. ?Everyone is ready to go, both on the green and in the classroom.? said Van Niekerk.
Despite having all of his returnees academically eligible, his feelings were a little bitter sweet. ?This will be our last year in the NWAACC conference and I?m sad because we [Douglas College?s Golf team] enjoyed our time in that league.? Due to a new conference regulation, Douglas along with Malaspina, Selkirk College and UCFV will no longer be able to play in the NWAACC. ?I don?t think it?s a Canadian issue, other institutions south of the border will be affected as well.?
Also affected will be the new Women?s Golf team headed by CPGA Pro and Douglas College Sport Science student Lindsay Jackson. The women will play their inaugural season in the NWAACC and then will hope to join the men?s team in a possible BCCAA league that maybe restructured for the September 2005. Photo: Jerald Walliser
