Second-year coach boosts team morale

The golf team said they expect success in 2011.

Last season, they finished second in the Sun Belt Conference Championship and expect success to propel them.

Head coach Eric Hsu begins his second season with the team, and his golfers expect another below par season.

Nick Wilson is in his senior year and is a returning standout for the golf team.

“He teaches his players to focus one shot at a time, making sure not to get ahead of yourself,” Wilson said.

“He turned me from an average player to a golfer that can win college events.”

Hsu is no stranger to ULM or success. Hsu shot under par at the district championship back in 2003 and is the second ULM golfer to do so.

He graduated from ULM in 2003 with a business degree and returned to coach the team he once played on.

Hsu encourages his players, and he said he tells them to not worry about individual scores but to focus on the mental aspects of the game.

The Warhawks open their season today at the Sam Hill Intercollegiate Tournament in Hattiesburg, Miss.
