Hoins using fall to look for long-lost swing
By BRETT CONLEY
Sports Writer
After turning in good performances in some of the top amateur golf tournaments in the country this summer, Nancy Hoins, a member of the KU women's golf team, somehow lost her swing in August.
"I am pretty disappointed in the way I'm playing, but
I'm trying to sort it out," she said. "In 'August I started
getting into some bad habits, so now I'm taking a couple
of lessons."
Hains said that she has had only one good tournament this fall. That was the Iowa State Invitational in which
sne tused for second place, but then lost a six-hole playoff for the trophy.
Haines said that she has been working on accuracy, and "trying to get more accurate," so she also sets goals for her program to lower her stroke rate.
This summer Heins traveled so she could play in the best amateur tournaments. She went to Pittsburgh for the Women's Western, to New York for the Transnational, and to Pinehurst, N.C., for the North and South tournament. She also finished third in the Kansas Amateur in Kansas City.
"I MADE championship flight in all of the tournaments, and I made the cut in every tournament," she al-
I said. "I just had a bad summer for match play, but I was
injured."
Horns, who has been playing in such tournaments, was 15, said the tournaments helped her mental health.
Because this year's team is so young, Hoins has been put into a leadership role. The team is composed of 12 members, the two co-chairs.
"We all help each other, but I feel like a leader. I think it is very something you take over," Hains said.

Things have changed considerably since she was a
Honna will graduate this year with a degree in physica-
tica education and health, but she is not exactly sure what
she will do.
"I want to play golf after I graduate, and work on my game," Hois said.
She would like to turn professional, but she knows that she has a lot of work ahead before she does. Right now, she said, she is hoping that she re-discovers her swing before winter arrives.
Volleyball team loses to K-State
The KU volleyball team opened its conference season with a loss last night, dropping a match to Kansas State in three straight games in Manhattan
K-State downed the Jayhawks by the scores of 15-12, 15-13 and 15-9. The Wildcats use a strong defense to stifle KU in the important conference match.
The Jayhawks, who won their first six matches of the season, have lost five matches in a row. KU lost the four matches it played in the Nebraska invitational last weekend and then had only two pre-season days to prepare for the match against K-State.
"Two days were not enough to correct the
mistakes we made in the tournament," KU head coach Bob Stancill said. "We had to gear our practices to K-State. It was not an ideal situation."
K-State also downed the Jayhawks in junior varsity action by the scores of 15-10 and 15-7.
