Berkshire’s young golf team is young but the Badgers have promise.
While head coach Dave List won’t expect too much out of his youngsters, he is excited to see what they can accomplish this fall.
“I’m excited about our season because we have players who are excited about the game of golf and they take to their coaching very well,” List said. “However, we are not at this time a championship-caliber team. We don’t have a lot of varsity match experience on the team. I’m not going to judge this season on wins or losses. We are approaching this season as a year of player development.”
Berkshire returns two starters in seniors Alex Mulacek and Andrew Young.
Mulacek averaged 55 strokes per nine holes last season while Young carded an average of 56 per round.
“(Mulacek) is the most improved player. I’m looking for him to have some solid rounds,” List said. “Andrew has the ability to shoot consistently in the 40s in 9-hole matches. Alex and Andrew are not vocal leaders, so I’m looking for them to lead by example.”
Juniors Wilson Jackson, Nate McInnerney and Ethan Gingrich and sophomores Matt Hart and Jacob Zeiler round out the Badger lineup.
“All the new varsity players are working hard to improve their game,” List said. “They are all currently around the same ability level.”
