Coming off an impressive 2009 season that culminated in a fourth overall finish in Ontario, the expectations for this year's editions of the Fanshawe College men's and women's golf teams are very promising. After a bronze medal finish at last season's Ontario Colleges Athletic Association championships in Welland, Ontario, coach Andy Shaw believes this year's team has a very good chance to improve upon those results and compete for an overall medal finish for the season.

The Falcon's season tees off this week with tournaments at The Raven Golf Club at Lora Bay, as well as the Fanshawe Invitational at London's Thames Valley Golf Club. It is expected that team returnees Taylor Booth and Steve Bridgland will once again be key contributors to this year's men's team, while Sarah Pickersgill will be looked to as a key part of the women's team.

Booth will be looking for another strong showing this season after a successful campaign last year that featured a silver medal finish at the OCAA championships, with impressive scores of 74, 67 and a final day 80. Meanwhile, Steve Bridgland will be looking to improve upon his 32nd place finish at the 2009 OCAA Championships.

On the women's side, Pickersgill will be looking for another strong showing after impressive sixth and eighth place finishes at last year's Fanshawe Invitational and OCAA championships.

Following this week's tournements, the Fanshawe golf teams will compete in tournaments at the Wolf Run Golf Club in Lindsay, Ontario, the Lakeridge Links in Whitby, Ontario, and will round off the season at the Lochness Links in Welland, Ontario, before heading to the 2010 OCAA golf championships being played at The Raven Golf Club at Lora Bay, where the Falcons hope to improve upon last season's results in hopes of sending a team to this year's Canadian Colleges Athletic Association championships being hosted by Thompson River University in Kamloops, B.C.
