His Warrior golfers captured the Randall Oaks Invitational and took a second at the mini-state Lake Forest Invitational. They went on to capture the FVC, district and sectionals. Just six strokes fell between a Warrior perfect season, as the Cuda golfers settled with a second at the state meet. "I had a lot of good outstanding teams, but this has to be the best," said Cuda.

You have to make them understand no bogeys or double bogeys-. You makes bad shot, forget it and play your game. It's a self < "You have to encourage him (beginning golfer). Make him work, doesn't like other sports,then have mm work at golf. Just work at it" Cuda is a lover of all sports except baseball. He doesn't like The baseball swing screws up a good golf swing. To make a Warrior squad, Cuda says a golfer has to play in a lot of tournaments during the summer. If he doesn't, Cuda says he won't be able to handle the pressure.
