The 1960 Men’s Golf Team consisted of Ronald Hampton (’60), David Parker (’62), team captain Richard Veleta (’60), Sam Powell (’62), Billy Brewer (’60), and alternate Michael Reid. The Eagles won the 1960 M.C.A.U. Conference, by defeating Westminster 608-611. The conference included the likes of the aforementioned Westminster, William Jewell, Missouri Valley, Drury, and Culver-Stockton. The team qualified for the National Collegiate Golf Championship that year, which was played in Bemidji, Minnesota. The estimated team cost to attend the Championship in Bemidji, Minnesota was $350. President Woodward allowed the College to contribute $200, and the Student Council contributed $100 towards the trip. The golf team then vowed to raise the remaining $50 for the trip, stating “we can raise the remaining $50 with little trouble," which they did.
