<\/a>\u201cHaving played the full schedule last year, they\u2019re a little more calm and relaxed,\u201d says Randle. \u201cWe\u2019ll see; in golf you never know what\u2019s going to happen, but so far they\u2019ve stepped up and played well.\u201d<\/p>\n
Veteran player and Victoria native Jarred Callbeck will once again lead the Camosun golf team this season. Callbeck had a stellar season last year and racked in numerous PACWEST provincial and CCAA national league awards, including All-Canadian Player and First Team All-Star. He was also busy in the off-season, winning Victoria\u2019s 51st<\/sup> Annual Cedar Hill Open Men\u2019s Golf Tournament on May 17-18.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s one of the best players in the conference and his playing ability speaks for itself,\u201d says Randle about Callbeck, \u201cbut he\u2019s also a leader on the team and he keeps things light; he\u2019s relaxed but he also works hard. So, not only does he walk the walk, but he\u2019s good at talking the talk, too.\u201d<\/p>\n Joining Callbeck this year are returning third-year players Brady Stead (Vernon, BC) and Grant Maskiewich (Smithers, BC), and second-year student-athletes Mike Flegel (Moose Jaw, SK) and Brett De Vries (Kelowna, BC).<\/p>\n Maskiewich, for one, is optimistic about the upcoming season and the team\u2019s chances this year at the nationals.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m feeling good about it and the whole team is back from last year, along with one solid new player,\u201d says Maskiewich. \u201cOur goal is to win the nationals and there\u2019s no reason why this team can\u2019t do it.\u201d<\/p>\n Rookie Scott Merriam, from Cranbook, BC, is the only new Charger for 2014\u2019s golf team, and the enthusiasm of his Chargers teammates seems to have rubbed off on him already.<\/p>\n \u201cIt seems like we have a very talented group and I believe we are capable of winning every event during the regular season,\u201d says Merriam. \u201cAs for the nationals, I think we have a great chance at taking the gold medal this year.\u201d<\/p>\n The Chargers finished second behind Fraser Valley in their first tournament of the year September 6-7 in Surrey, and second behind the Vancouver Island University Mariners in the second tournament, which took place in Nanaimo on September 13-14.<\/p>\n And while the Camosun players are feeling good about their chances to take it all this year, their coach is being a little more cautious.<\/p>\n \u201cIf the guys play up to their potential we have a chance to finish well,\u201d says Randle. \u201cWe\u2019ve got almost the same team that finished third in the country last year, so we hope to see a progression and hope that we\u2019ll improve, but at the same time other schools are improving, too. All you can hope is that you have your team playing their best when it comes to nationals.\u201d<\/p>\n Randle says the team has everything they need to be champions: the right attitude, a high skill level, and even the necessary work ethic.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have a lot of fun when we play tournaments, so they\u2019re having a good time, but the flipside is they are doing a lot of work to be prepared,\u201d he says. \u201cThey\u2019re great kids, they work hard, and they\u2019re very coach-able. So everything\u2019s good. We just have to figure out how to beat Fraser Valley.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Camosun College\u2019s 2013 national bronze-medal golfers are aiming their sights even higher this year, according to the team\u2019s coach and players, but first they\u2019re going to have to get past a stalwart team in their own province.
