2007 Miracle Yearbook

W hile the Cedarville Men's Golfteam was very successful in both their Fall and Spring seasons, the guys on the team would rather people know about their deep friendships with each other and the awesome times they spenttogether.Sure,they placed first at the Ohio Dominican Classic,the Mt.Vernon Nazarene Invitational,and the Cedarville Invitational(for the first time since 1982 and by a record 23shots), and received second place at the Tiffin,Wittenberg,and Shawnee State Invitationals, but the team realized that while success is often fleeting,friendships last a lifetime. Sophomore Brendan Ojala said that hisfavorite part of being on the golfteam was"being able to be a part ofa team and hang out with the guys.Golf is such a social sport so we spent a lot more time talking to each other than most other sports."Adam Schlappi, a senior,also said that he loved being on the golfteam at Cedarville because of"the friendships that I have made with all ofthese guys. They are so awesome!' When talking about his teammates individually,senior Scott Aker said that his favorite player was, "Brendan Ojala,for reasons not all that connected to golf. He has become my bestfriend on campus and challenged me spiritually on a consistent basis!'Freshman Matt Krogstad boasted that hisfavorite player was definitely Trevor Bowman."The man has style and can hit the ball farther than I can imagine,"said Matt.Other playersfound the best part ofthe season to be times such as hitting golf balls off of Mountain Dew bottles or receiving unlimited transfer meals at the Hive.Overall though,the team emphasized thatthroughout the year,they tried to keep golf in perspective and to give God the glory for everything.
