GOF the outlook for 

Andover's 2001 varsity 

golf team. Coming off one of their 

best seasons in years, the golf team is 

hoping to produce a second stellar season 

in a row. 

-The only two blemishes on last 

year's team were a loss to ISL powerhouse 

Belmont Hill and an opening 

season tie against Tabor Academy. 

bottom of the bracket will be newcomers 

Nicholas Po '04 and Jarret 

Wetherell '02 who, although lacking 

experience, do not lack skill or fervor 

for the game. 

The team is coached by PGA 

Class "A" professionals Nat Smith, 

William Scott, and Frank Hannah 

whose jobs will be difficult due to the 

many decisions that need to be made 

keep us in touch, not just after we 

graduate but also over breaks, especially 

the particularly long summer 

vacation. Of course, I can't give Gins 

too much credit because he also cited 

an additional, more compelling reason. 

He said, "Also, I play because it s 

always great to beat Harris at anything. 

" Well put. 

I know I've-been full of questions 

drafting, whereby the computer makes 

your selections for you. 

My team ended up strong on hitting 

- Bagwell, Bonds, Giles, and E. 

Martinez - but lacking a little in 

pitchifig (but Auld and Ackerman are 

both salivating over the prospect of 

acquiring Bagwell and they both have 

pitching to offer). 

The ultimate question, of course, 

getting consistent aces. You can 

always find offensive production fromn 

an unexpected source, but unexpectedly 

good pitching is more rare." 

Ginsberg clearly sides with Goyal on 

the pitcher's side of the argument: 

"Pitching can be a lot more dynamic 

since it tends to accumulate more 

points per game.." 

Ackerman, a frequent visitor at 

their first crack at the big leagues." 

The beauty of the game is that it 

does facilitate keeping in touch with 

distant friends, there are leagues for 

any level of involvement, it's a great 

way of showing off your keen baseball 

intellect, and most importantly, there's 

always the incentive of beating Harris. 

It can get intense any time 

bragging rights are in the mix, so 

Jeremiah and the rest of the team' 

believe that these matches and the timatch 

with Exeter and GDA will be 

the keys to this sason. 

The "Ruff Ryders" lost two memin 

the bracket. They provide superior 

golf knowledge and expertise, a major 

contributor to Andover Golf s success, 

Although Andover does not participate 

in a league, the team is highly 

so far, but I need to pose just a few 

more. The first question that always 

faces fantasy players is: "What league 

should I play?" ESPN's Baseball 

Challenge is well-suited to the ultiis 

exactly that - one of strategy. 

Opinions are varied on the hot topic of 

Pitching vs. Hitting. Auld offers his 

opinion: "My advice is that pitchers 

rack up the most points so getting at 

Rotonews.com, offers slightly more
