REGIONAL TOURNAMENT RECAP
Three members of Lakeland’s golf team had the opportunity to play three rounds with the best golfers in the NJCAA Region XII. The tournament took place at Bedford Valley Country Club in Battle Creek, Michigan on May 11 and 12.
Sophomore Ryan Ausperk finished in the top ten after the first round, when he shot a 76. However, he stumbled in the second round with an 82 before recovering slightly in the final round with a 79. His 237 score placed him 20th among the 66 golfers who participated.
Sophomore Chris Chample and freshman Nick Morocco shot their best games in the second round, with an 83 and 79 respectively.
Ausperk will be attending John Carroll University in the fall, where he hopes to continue to improve his game as a member of Coach Mike Moran’s golf team.
The golf team will play off-season rounds in the fall. Anyone interested in becoming a member of the golf team at Lakeland Community College should leave a message for Coach Bobby Cala at 440-525-7826 or golf@lakelandcc.edu.
