The defending champion Camosun Chargers went into the recent Bear Mountain Collegiate Golf Tournament without their top player, the injured Jarred Callbeck. Luckily, another Jared stepped up with the performance of his collegiate career to lead the Chargers to their second consecutive title.<\/p>\n

Jared Hundza, who calls Edmonton, AB his hometown, shot a 142 to lead Camosun to a five-stroke lead over the other BC and Alberta teams in the first Chargers tourney of the year, held March 23 and 24.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was great to see,\u201d says head coach John Randle. \u201cOur number one guy was injured and Jared did great. It\u2019s early in the year, so it was terrific to see him perform like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hundza finished at the top of the leader board in a three-way tie with golfers from Vancouver Island University and Grant MacEwan University. He says part of his success was due to not setting his expectations too high so early in the season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think this helped me as I didn\u2019t put too much pressure on myself,\u201d says Hundza. \u201cIt felt really good to be able to shoot a low round, but more importantly help my team get the victory.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Randle, who\u2019s also academy director at the Bear Mountain Resort, having home course advantage made a difference. But the victory wouldn\u2019t have been possible, he says, without the kind of performance he got from his players: Hundza, Kevin Walz (Qualicum, BC), Brady Stead (Vernon, BC), Grant Maskiewich (Smithers, BC) and Kevin Bredy (Calgary, AB).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe live in Victoria, so we do have a distinct advantage, but you still have to go out and play the golf, and for me personally, I don\u2019t make the shots,\u201d says Randle, \u201cso it\u2019s really good to see them do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hundza agrees that home course advantage played a part in the win, and can work in many ways.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe biggest advantages that I see is knowing the club selection of tees, as well as the break on the greens,\u201d says Hundza. \u201cThis home advantage helped our team take home the victory.\u201d<\/p>\n

Camosun finished the two-day Bear Mountain tournament with a final combined score of 583. Grant MacEwan University (588), Vancouver Island University (601), Lethbridge College (608), and Douglas College (613) rounded out the five teams who played.<\/p>\n

Although it wasn\u2019t as staggering as last year\u2019s epic 25-stroke Bear Mountain win, the victory once again gets the Camosun team off to a strong start.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the Chargers golf squad now goes into a spring\/summer break with not much else on the horizon until the fall, says Randle.<\/p>\n

One Chargers player, Walz, hopes to turn professional soon and will undertake a full amateur schedule this spring and summer. Meanwhile, Randle will continue to coach his team the best he can for their staggered season.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou do your best to get them prepared, then you have to stand back and let them do their thing, so it is a bit of a helpless feeling,\u201d says Randle. \u201cBut it helps when they have great performances like this first tournament.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
