Scarlet Wave wins second Team Championship of the 2009 Spring Season
Golf team records second best-ever team score of 313

The Marion campus men's golf team competed in a non-conference golf invitational hosted by Kent State University Tuscarawas.  The Marion 'A' team came through with a narrow victory to host KSU Tuscarawas by just 4 strokes.  The Scarlet Wave were led by Brenen Morse (74) who finished as runner-up to tournament medalist, Mitch Levengood of KSU Tuscarawas (after a tie-breaking play-off).  Scarlet Wave members Alan Dixon (76), Joshua Stidham (79), Doug Fleischman (84), & Jacob Johnston (84) helped the team gain their second championship of this 2009 spring season.

"It was impressive to see our 'A' team compete against a team that has recorded better scores than us so far this season among the ORCC competition," states Coach Sisler.  "Our 'A' team has now established themselves as a potential contender in any tournament they play in during this spring season.  I hope they can carry it over into the fall season as well."

Golf Team couldn't overcome adversity at Granville Golf Course
Alan Dixon leads the way with an 81 on a very difficult windy day

It became a battle between The Ohio State University Regional teams as host Ohio State Newark nipped by Ohio State Lima by 4 strokes.

Typically a golfer is playing against the course, but today our golfers were also playing against a gusty wind.  "Every member of our team recorded above average scores, but they came away with a sense that they played well," states Coach Sisler.
"It's important for us to concentrate on every drive, every chip, & every putt - every time.  But more importantly, we need to do that on every hole - one at a time."

Ohio State Marion golfer wins individual honors
Dixon shoots 73 to lead a statewide field of 80 student-athletes

Alan Dixon, junior golfer for The Ohio State University at Marion, was presented
the overall medalist award at the Ohio University Zanesville Tracer Golf Classic, Saturday, April 26, 2008.

Dixon shot a 73 for the day, leading a field of 80 golfers who participated in the tournament.  At one point, he was 4 under par during a 7-hole stretch of the 18-hole course.  The Tracer Golf Classic includes all Ohio Regional Campus Conference (ORCC) competition, as well as four at large teams from outside the conference.  He also finished runner-up at Ohio State Newark’s Golf Invitational the day prior.

Although he won individual honors at the ORCC State Tournament in 2006, Dixon feels his work on the links and in practice continue to pay dividends and his game has become more consistent.      

Based on current ORCC standings Dixon is unofficially third in the overall statewide individual golf standings.  Because Ohio State Marion regularly competes against Ohio regional campus conference competition, but is not an official member of the conference, Dixon’s standing is unofficial.

A lifelong resident of Marion, Dixon began golfing at the age of 9.  He excelled as a member of the Pleasant High School golf team for four years.  He has been part of the Scarlet Wave golf team since enrolling at Ohio State Marion three years ago.

Dixon is majoring in finance and currently takes classes on both the Marion and Columbus campuses.  Upon graduation he plans to continue working with Wachovia Securities in Marion, where he has served in an internship role for the past seven months.

Our sister campus, OSU Lima won the team championship with a team score 309.

Attention Members of the 2009 Golf Team

Here is  information regarding how we are going to conduct our weekly fall practices:

*  Each of you are to view one 54 minute video on the "Rules and Etiquette" of the game of golf.  You will need to view this video at the student center only and you can sign-out this video from my office or the front desk of the student activities office.  There will be a sign-out sheet that you must sign indicating that you viewed this video.  The video can only be seen in room 112B in the student center.  You can not take this video out - home, etc.  You will not receive your 2-hour credit unless you view this video.

*  I have practice golf balls and driving balls that you can use to practice your golf swing.  I have putting cups for you to practice your putting, and I have driving pads for you to practice your driving.  For driving, you will strike the ball off a rubber tee and the ball will be driven into the curtain in the gym (so you won't have to chase balls).  You may practice in the gymnasium at open times when there is not a class or event in the gym.  You will just need to come into my office and sign-out this equipment.  For this type of practice, you will need to bring in your own clubs; if you don't have clubs yet, you may use the Universities.  If the weather is awful, this is a great opportunity for you to come in and practice your golf swing and work on your golf swing techniques.

As a team, I have us going to Kings Mill Golf Club on every Thursday to get in a round of golf (18 holes max).  You may go there at any time on Thursday (with the exception from 4-6pm - league play) to play golf.  Please remember, they are allowing us to practice on their course.  Club management is allowing us to play for free (waive green fees), but I need you to pay for a golf cart $6 per person or $1.50 for a hand cart.  The only Thursday's you can use the course is yet to be determined for the fall season.  After May 7th, our spring season is over and if you want to play at Kings Mill, you will pay the regular rates.  Please respect club management decisions and always show your appreciation for them allowing us to practice on their course - Thank them.

Through this upcoming fall season, I will schedule team instructional practice times.  It is highly suggested that you attend these practice times, but not required (since we are a commuter campus, it is impossible for all team members to show up for a practice - class & work schedules interfere).

Please practice on your own when you can and provide me your scorecards weekly.  Provide me with your scores either via e-mail (scorecard turned in later) or deliver your scorecard to my office before each Thursday evening's deadline @ 9:00pm.  At that time, I will determine who is going to each tournament based on your scores during that week.  Your scores are the determining factor on who is chosen to play in the weekends tournament.
In order to be eligible for each tournament, here is the method that we use to determine who participates:

  • Must be a member of the Scarlet Wave Golf Team
  • Must have own equipment; golf bag, clubs, balls, tees, shoes, etc.
  • You must have practiced (per week) at least a minimum of 2 days of scores (9 holes each day) OR one day score (18 holes one day) during that week to be eligible
  • Must turn in scorecard to me or submit me your scores via e-mail (scorecard turned in at day of tournament) before weekly deadline; Thursday @ 9:00pm
  • Submitted weekly scores will be tabulated on our excel spreadsheet, and the players with the best overall averages will be asked to participate in that week's tournament
  • Weekly scores start on Friday and ends on Thursday @ 9:00pm
  • If unforeseen circumstances prevent members from submitting scores (such as bad weather during the week), the golf coach will decide who plays in that weekly tournament.
I will notify the weekly top 5 players on Thursday evening after 9:00pm.  If you are chosen you will have the choice to participate in Friday's tournament and/or Saturday's.  If there is a vacant spot in one or both tournaments, I will then call the 6th best weekly player (and so forth) until I fill the spot's) for the team.
Remember, for each tournament that we are participating in, we can only take one (1) team consisting of only 5 team members.  If there is a group of you (5 other team members) that would like to participate in a tournament, but are not one of the top five that has been chosen, you will need to inform me that you would like to participate in a tournament so that I can register you.  Your team will then be required to pay the tournament fee (~$125 per team / $25 per player) and provide your own transportation to the tournament.

Thank you and enjoy the great weather!

Coach Sisler
