PREP GOLF ‘95: PREVIEW : Six Teams to Watch : Santa Margarita

Coach: Tim O’Hara (first year).

1994: 16-1, 11-1 in the Sea View League. Won the league title, finished fifth in the Southern Regional.

Key returners: Tucker Brown, Jr.; Kelly Craig, So.; Sean Lim, Sr.; Greg Pittenger, Jr.; Scott Schultz, Sr.; Steve Wagner, Jr.; Bryan Whalley, Jr.

Key newcomers: Jimmy Dunn, Fr.; Nicholas Fritz, So.; Matt Moses, So.; Dave Watson, Jr.

Outlook: O’Hara, junior varsity coach for five years, takes over for Dave Duran, who resigned last summer after declining to become a co-coach with O’Hara. Duran had a 124-11-2 record in seven seasons with the Eagles, and there’s no indication there will be a drop-off this year. Kellee Booth (Arizona State) and Ben Bost (Saddleback) are playing in college, but the Eagles are still loaded. Low scores can come from anywhere in the lineup, even out of it--a couple times this season, the alternate has posted the team low. “I’ve got five guys who are playing pretty consistently,” O’Hara said. “I think we are going to be around 200 almost every match.”
