Ranger golfers split two league contests
by Misty Volaski

For the second year in a row, Nordhoff's varsity golf team defeated Santa Paula at Soule Park Golf Course. Last year's team, which included current Ranger standouts Andrew Bonsignori and Mike Bensley, creamed the Cardinals, 363-424.
As expected, coach Dick Sebek's squad did the same thing this year, posting a 404, 72 strokes under Santa Paula's 476.
Ranger Nathan VanEtten paced the Rangers with a four-over-par 76. Teammates Bonsignori and Bensley shot a 77 and an 80, respectively.
Two days later, the Rangers were defeated by Calabasas, 400-433 at Calabasas Country Club. Nordhoff, which beat Calabasas last year for a share of the Frontier League championship, definitely felt the disadvantage of playing on an unfamiliar course.
Nordhoff's Bensley (81) and Tyler Brown (86) lead the Rangers in scoring. None of the Rangers broke 80, a fairly uncommon occurrence for Nordhoff's golfers.
Nordhoff will play today in the Oak Park Tournament at Sterling Hills Golf Course with seversl other teams from the area.
