COACH IES BOISTAD Lester Bolstad, who was appointed to the staff of the Department of Physical Education and Athletics of the University of Minnesota, February 16, 1947, serves in the multiple capacities of professional of the University golf course, coach of the Minnesota varsity golf team and golf instructor in the physical education program. Ike Annstrong, director of physical education and athletics at Minnesota, forsees the University becaning the principal factor in the development of this popular sport throughout the state as well as within the student body, under Bolstad's direction. The University golf program is an ambitious one. All $tudents, male and female, alike, are encouraged to participate in golf. Bolstad starts with the beginner and duffer and conducts group instruction in playing techniques, rules and golf course courtesy. He also teaches several Extension Division classes at night. He has conducted golf clinics throughout the state and in other states. No man in the nation is better qualified than Les Bolstad to fill the post he now occupies. He is a profound student of golf and is rated by such top authorities as Byron Nelson and Lloyd Mangrum as one of the country's leading instructors. Among his famous pupils are Patty Berg of Minneapolis, who is generally accepted as one of the top women golfers in the nation; Beverly Hanson of Fargo, North Dakota; Mary Lena Faulk of Thanasville, Georgia; and Mickey \\fright of San Diego, California. When Bolstad returned to the University golf course as professional it marked the ccmpletion of a circle. Bolstad had started as a caddy as a boy of eleven at the old University course. His first competitive triumph was in the Minnesota junior tournament in 1924. In 1926, his sophanore year at the University of Minnesota, Les won the national public links championship. He was instrumental in reviving golf as a canpetitive sport at Minnesota in 1927 and captained Gopher link teams in 1927, '28 and '29. He was Big Ten individual champion in 1927 and 1929 and helped J.1innesota to the team title in 1929. Bolstad has held the Minnesota amateur championship, the Minnesota Open Title (4 times), the Minnesota Publinx title (twice) and the Minnesota PGA crown. To gether with Joe Coria of St. Paul, Les holds the National Professional Golfers Association best-ball record of 59 strokes, achieved during the Golden Valley invitational meet of 1944 and at the expense of Chick Harbert and Mike Turnesa. Les left his post as professional at the Golden Valley Club, Minneapolis, to join the University staff. He had served at 1tlestwood Hills and the Minneapolis Golf Club before going to Golden Valley. I r 1962 MINNESOTA GOIF PROSPECTS ~ I I Minnesota's golf out-look continues on the bright side for 1962, according to the man who should know -- Lea Bolstad, now in his sixteenth season as coach of f University links teams. But for the loss of Gene Hanson fran last year's squad, the prospects would l be rosy indeed. Hanson, a senior and one of the best golfers on the '61 team, is still attending the University but has no more eligibility remaining. nWe figure to be a first division team again," Bolstad declares. i'trfe've got a good senior squad and we'll be paced by an All-American in Rolf Deming." Minnesota captured second place in the conference last year and finished ninth in the NCAA tourney with probably its finest team in history. The Gophers qualified three men in the national meet. "ltd say our 1961 record was by far the best ever recorded by a Minnesota if team, If Bolstad says, "certainly the best since I've been here. Deming, a senior, is rated the Gophers' top golfer. He finished second in the Big Ten meet behind the great Jack Nicklaus of Ohio State last year and survived two matches in NCAA play before losing to Iowa's Jack Rule in extra holes. Three other lettennen return. They are juniors Les Peterson, Redwood Falls, and Capt. Harry Newby, Cloquet, and senior Jim Pfeider, Anoka. This trio together with Deming have the top four spots pretty well sewed up but the other two positions are still open. The chief contenders are sophomores Don Lundquist, Robbinsdale, Bob Keller, Minnetonka, and Bob Hustrulid, Alexander Ramsey, and seniors Al Krueger, Redwood Falls, and Jim Severson, Montevideo. Both Krueger and Severson won monograms two years ago but failed to letter last spring. Other sophomore prospects are Dave Stone, Stillwater, and Bruce Kronicks, St. Louis Park. Purdue, perennial Big Ten champion, looms as the favorite for conference honors again this year in Bolstad's opinion. He thinks 1-lichigan State is likely to provide the stiffest challenge to Boilermaker mastery. The rest of the league will depend pretty much on how the sophomore crop turns out in the various schools, according to the Gopher coach. .. • ~ I 1962 GOLF ROSTER lI I I Deming, Rolf Senior Minneapolis (Roosevelt) f Hustrulid, Robert Sophomore St. Paul (Alexander Ramsey) l Keller, Robert Sophomore Minnetonka Kronick, Bruce Sophomore St. Louis Park Krueger, Allen Senior Redwood Falls Larson, Stephen Senior Edina Lundquist, Donald Sophomore Robbinsdale Newby, Harry Senior Cloquet Peterson, Leslie Junior Redwood Falls Pfleider, James Senior Anoka Severson, James Senior Montevideo VIGNETTES OF GOLF PRINCIPAlS ROLF DEMING -- senior - Minneapolis Roosevelt - rated one of the hardest working players on squad - won All-America honors last year - placed second in Big Ten meet - engineering student - plays a smart game.
