GOLF HISTORY
Golf began as a sport at Calvert in the Spring of 1961 under the direction of Coach Joe Kukoy. Kukoy led the program for seven years. David Hartman coached the team from 1971-73, and during Rick Bean’s two years at the helm (1974-1975), Golf switched from Spring to a Fall sport. Bean produced a 3rd in the District finish in 1974 and 8th in the District in 1975. In 1976, Zip Zalar stepped in for one year as Golf coach. All the Senecas did in that year was win the SBC, Sectional, District and STATE CHAMPIONSHIP. Rick Steiner was also the STATE MEDALIST on that State Title Team. In 1977, Paul Miletti came onto the scene as coach and did so for thirteen years, producing a 7th place finish in the District in 1978. Four seasons later (1982), he coached the team to their second-ever SBC Championship, along with the Sectional & District Championships. The Senecas finished 5th in States & also set the school record for most wins in a season with 24. In 1986, Miletti’s Senecas won the MAL title. Rick Demith took over when Miletti stepped down in 1990, and coached for two seasons. Andy Altenburger took the reigns in 1992 and coached through 1994. Troy Felter took over for the 1995 season. Scott Brickner became the head coach of the Seneca golfers beginning in 1996. Under the direction of Coach Brickner, Chris Hall was the MAL League Medalist in 2001, with Joel Ardner & Tony Klepper following suit as MAL Medalists in 2006 & 2008. The Seneca Golfers won their 2nd MAL Title in 2009, and added a Sectional Championship as well, finishing 9th at Districts. That MAL Championship saw all 5 Calvert Varsity starters win 1st team all-MAL status---the first time in the history of the MAL such an event has ever occurred. In addition, during Brickner’s tenure the golf program has celebrated its 400th program victory (in 1996) and his 14 years as the Seneca Golf Coach is the longest tenure for a Head Coach in Calvert Golf History. The Seneca Golfers are looking for their tenth consecutive winning season in 2010.
