The Brandeis Golf team recently completed its fall season with the New England Intercollegiate Golf Association Tournament in Falmouth, Mass. The NEIGA is the largest collegiate golf tournament in the United States. The weatherfor the tournament was not great, as it was cold and windy at the Captain's Golf Club. There was one day when the morning frost delayed the start of the tournament by 45 minutes. In the end, the Judges finished in 43rd place, after improving their score on the second day of competition.One of the highlights for the Judges came from Josh Levine '06, who rebounded from a tough first day, when he shot a 92. On Tuesday, he was solid and shot an 84 for the second round of the tournament. Levine's composite score was 176, tied for Brandeis' leading score.

Levine's performance could be seen most clearly in his action on the green. On the first nine holes, he had only 13 putts, but on the second day, he had 22.

Overall, the team did not shoot its best, but still managed to put forth a respectable performance. Coach Shipman did not give a speech to the team, but rather just let the team play golf. The Judges kept their composure throughout the tournament.

"We had a good time as a team despite the frustration of the morning," Levine said.

Co-captains Jason Kramer '03 and Bill Tickle '03 were not pleased with the tournament results, as it was their last opportunity to compete in the NEIGA tournament.

The team is now in the off-season and will resume play in April 2003.
