1949 Yearbook
Description
Golf Review of 1948
Prospects for a very successful season in
1949 were quite noticeable to Rev. Father
Kamerick as nine letter men returned from the
1948 golf squad that won 6 out of 8 matches
and captured the Iowa Conference golf title,
besides finishing second in the Midlands Conference and second in the Iowa State Golf
Tournament held at Ames, Iowa.
The 1948 St. Ambrose medalists lost their
only two decisions to Iowa U. and Loras, both
home on the Ames golf links, took top honors
with the St. Ambrose link stars winning second
place.
Top men for the Bees during the season were
Bob Link, Davenport, Iowa; Tony Esposito, East
Moline, Ill.; Bill Olson, Rock Island, Ill; Bernie
Steiner, East Moline, Ill.; Bob Duncan, Rock
Island, Ill.; Jim Fahrner, Davenport, Iowa; Larry
Etzkorn, Kirkwood, Missouri; Harry Achim,
Aurora, Ill; Jack Engler, Beloit, Wisconsin,
and Al DeDoncker, Geneseo, Ill. DeDoncker
1948 St. Ambrose Golf Squad
by very narrow margins. The wins were scored
over Bradley (2), Western Ill. State (2), Coe (1),
and Loras (1). The golfer's captured the Iowa
Conference title for the second consecutive
year by nosing out their traditional up-river
rival, Loras. Loras came back in the Midlands
Tournament to narrowly squeeze by the Bees
to capture the first Midlands Golf Meet.
The Iowa State Golf Tournament included
all the collegiate golf teams in Iowa and was
held at Ames, Iowa. Iowa State, which is at
was the only man lost through graduation in
1948.
Bill Olson is leading the 1949 St. Ambrose
golf team with his election by teammates to
be Captain for the season. The toughest
schedule in the history of the golf squad will
be faced by Father Kamerick's squad with
Bradley, Western Ill., Loras, Marquette, and
Notre Dame listed as opponents. Other schools
are tentatively scheduled with two tournaments on the present schedule.
