resumes with impressive performances during 2006.

Sophomore Brad Boan of Olathe, Kan., was runnerup in the Kansas State Amateur championship, losing to his former Olathe East High School teammate Drew Lethem in the 36-hole title match. Boan was a 4.0 student in high school and is headed for a degree in mechanical engineering.

Sanders won two titles, the Wichita city match play and the Oklahoma Golf Association state match play events.

Matt Lazzo of Wichita, a WSU freshman, teamed with Josh Taylor of Overland Park to grab the Kansas Golf Association Junior Team title.

And Brandon Hermreck, sophomore from Stilwell, Kan., teamed with Zechariah Potter, another sophomore from Cheney, Kan., to capture the KGA Four-ball crown.

So WSU heads into the 2006-7 season with momentum and confidence. It could be the best ever season for Coach Grier Jones’ Shockers.

Jones, a former Oklahoma State AllAmerican and standout on the PGA Tour, is in his 12th year as head coach and his WSU teams have won six of the last eight Valley tournaments.

Jones was the PGA’s Rookie of the Year in 1969 after winning the 1968 NCAA individual title and the PGA Tour qualifying tournament. He also won the 1966 Kansas Amateur crown.

Wichita CC Expanding: Cary Cozby is leading Wichita Country Club on a $12 million expansion and renovation project which will last for three and one-half years. Cozby is the head professional who this year was given the additional title of Chief Executive Officer of Kansas’ oldest private golf club, founded in 1900.

In June of 2003, the club completed a redesign of the golf course by Jeffrey Brauer, golf course architect of Dallas, and expansion of its driving range.

The new project will include construction of a 7,000-square-foot golf cart building, but the rest of the money will be spent on expanding the clubhouse, adding a casual dining room, larger patio, mixed grill and lounge and expansion of the fitness center and tennis courts and swimming pool.

The club will remain open throughout the project.

Terradyne Makeover Under Way: Wichita’s Terradyne Resort and Country Club is also in the midst of a renovation project. A new, three-hole practice area and driving range is under construction west of the club. Remodeling of the dining room will be completed by the end of the year.

The resort hotel which included some 40 guest rooms is being remodeled into offices. There is no timetable for the remodeling of the hotel because the offices are being tailored to the desires of the occupants and will be completed as space is leased.

No changes are planned for Terradyne’s 18-hole golf course designed by Don Sechrest and opened in 1987. College Continued from page 11
