Weather obstacles plague Jayhawk golfing program
By YAEL ABOUHALKAH
Sports Editor
Jerry Waugh doesn't have a glorified image of the golf program at the University.
He admits that Kansas weather isn't the greatest in the world, especially for fall and spring golf meets. And with no scholarships to award, the difficulty is compounded when he and KU's other golf coach, Max Kennedy, are trying to entice a promising prospect.
"We're trying to do what we can do here," Waugh said. "We realize that we don't have the strongest program in the Big Eight. But at least we've got a fairly solid program where golfers can come and compete in both seasons."
"Although we don't award scholarships—at least on a regular basis—we've got a
program that is funded regularly. That's important for some players, to know that their minor sport isn't going to be eliminated by the school he chooses to attend.
Included in the losses from last year's team were Mike Fideldee, who Waugh called one of the league's best players; Mark Morrozo; and John Goss.
That wipes out the top players, but Waugh is confident returning golfers can fill those
Included in Waugh's plans of a variety team are senior Bo Dennis; junions Tom Peterson and Rick Kennedy; and sophomore Kid Idenman. Some freshman help is expected from Gary Hough, while junior college transfers Gary Clontail, Craig Palmer and Bob Lofus will fight for team berths.
"Rick has been our most consistent golfer," Waugh said. "Peterson has been erratic and needs to work on his consistency. Both Idleman and Dennis are going to help us. But they also need to get more consistency in their game. I think that's going to be our number one concern this year."
The problems KU has in fielding a top-tight squad shows in their competition against Big Eight teams, especially league powers Oklahoma St. and Oklahoma.
"The outstanding players follow the sun," Waugh explained. "They go to schools where all they do is golf. But we try to combine athletics with schoolwork.
"We could have a better golf team than last year," Waugh said. "I think we'll have more consistent play from our returning golfers."
About $2.2 million will be spent on in-
sideballing atletics at the University of
Kansas City.
Athletic program big business at KU
According to the KU Athletic Corporation budget summary for 1975-76, $2,195,400 is budgeted for expenditures. But the corporation expects $2,225,400 in income.
In other words, the athletic department is supposed to make a $30,000 profit. Last year, it was one of the few Big Eight schools to operate in the black.
The only programs expected to make money are football and basketball. According to the budget, football is expected to cost $150,000 and basketball one of $29,750.
The remainder of the income comes from a variety of sources. Activity fees paid by the students provide about $147,000; the Big Eight conference, including $50,000 from the Orange Bowl contract, pays $200,000; an additional $20,000 for tribulations; and, subject to good weather, the Kansas Relays are budgeted to provide $23,000.
