No home like Hawai’i
It’s 9 a.m. on a Wednesday in the middle of February.
Instead of regretfully waking to the knowledge that today holds
merely another day of sleep-inducing lectures and laborious
reading, like the rest of UCLA, Parker McLachlin and the rest of
the men’s golf team will enjoy the beautiful weather of
Wahiawa, Hawai’i.
The team will be competing in the John A. Burns Invitational, a
three-day tournament that starts today.
The tournament is a homecoming of sorts for McLachlin, a fifth
year senior who tied at 16th in the NCAA Championships last
year.
A local out of Ponahou School in Honolulu, won two tournaments
last summer on the island.
Joining McLachlin in hopes of repeat of 1987, when the Bruins
won the tournament, will be sophomores John Merrick and Steve
Conway as well as freshmen John Poucher and Breene Murphy.
