For Amherst College sophomore Emily Foran, it was more like a good book spoiled. As a freshman at Amherst, in her first season of colle- giate golf, Emily contended for a national champi- onship, earned Honorable Mention All-America honors and helped lead her team to an unprecedented third- place finish at the 2002 NCAA Division III Champi- onship Tournament. But just eight years earlier, she pre- ferred the safety of her bedroom and the comfort of a good book. Golf was a big part of her family life. Her father Tim, a 30-year PGA club professional and new operator of the Back Mountain Golf facility on Route 415, was a renowned teacher. He wanted her to play but often found her in a corner reading. An idea came to him. “When I was young I didn’t really like golf,” says Emi- ly. “I wasn’t athletic at all. I either wanted to be like my sister and play field hockey or sit in my room and read a book. My father decided there was no way I'd be good at field hockey so he gave me books about Ben Hogan and Bobby Jones and said, ‘Just read their biographies. They're interesting people.’ “ The books worked. Before long Emily was giving “There was definitely an adjustment, going from nine-hole after-school matches to 36-hole weekend tournaments.” Emily Foran Dallas, now a student and leading golfer at Amherst College speeches in school about Jones and his theories on the golf swing. She also began spending time at the golf course. Her father gave her an old set of steel-shaft Pings, and she tagged along when he played or prac- ticed. “I learned how to putt and did a little short game at first; less likely to damage myself with a golf club that way,” she remembers. “I'd go out on off-peak hours and I knew some loops where you could play the fifth hole and cut over to the ninth so you didn’t have to play the entire course. I'd tell him what I thought I was doing See FORAN, pg 10 FREE op Cardinals beat b ck Blue Jays’rally Cardinals 11, Pirates 1 Jeremy Fike singled three times and Dylan Seeley singled twice to power the Cardinal attack in a game in which each team registered five hits.

Ragukas’ 1-hitter is one too many The Cardinals scored twice in the bot- tom of the sixth inning to break an 8-8 tie and then held off a Blue Jay rally in the top of the seventh to escape with a 10-9 victory in a very exciting game. Eric Tucker led the Cardinal attack with three hits while teammates John Giampietro and Chad Gelso each contributed two sin- gles. Jeremy Fike smashed a two-run triple for the Cardinals. Giampietro struck out one batter in three innings on the mound while Dylan Seeley fanned six Blue Jays in four innings of pitching. Mike Prater smacked a triple and two singles for the Blue Jays. David Hanadel contributed a double and two singles while Billy Holena added a double. Prater and Doug Harding combined to strike out six Cardinals. Zach Ragukas pitched a one-hitter June 8 at home for the Back Mountain Hawks American Legion team, but was outdueled by the Thunderkats Ryan Gwynn who also threw a one-hit- ter. Ragukas had allowed only one base runner through the first six in- nings, a hit batter in the fifth. Wilkes Barre’s Jon Wiencek led off the sev- enth with a fly ball that was dropped, Wiencek reaching second on the play. Ryan McGavin followed with a single to plate the only run of the game. Back Mountain only advanced one runner as far as second base. With two outs in the fourth, Matt Shiskowski was hit by a pitch and Matt Kapitula singled him to second .
