A round of golf for the 草莓社区 (EMU) men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 teams is no longer dependent on the weather, thanks to the newly installed SkyTrak golf simulator. This technology, set up in a room in the Facilities Management building, allows golfers to hit balls into a net while the machine analyzes their shots.

Head coach , in his first year helming the teams, says the additional practice option has helped his team make more consistent improvements on a range of skills.  

鈥淭he simulator picks up on the speed of the ball, speed of the club, and the spin of the ball and calculates where the ball would have gone,鈥� Swartzentruber explained. 鈥淚t then shows a simulation of the ball’s path through air.鈥�

鈥淏eing able to see your actions, a golfer is better able to make necessary corrections,鈥� said David King, director of athletics at EMU. King said the simulator was purchased with funds donated specifically for this project, as well as fundraising conducted by the team.

Former coach Mike Yoder purchased the simulator two years ago, but it needed additional parts to be fully operational, which Swartzentruber acquired last summer.

鈥淎n additional advantage of the simulator is that it doesn’t require a lot of space,鈥� King said.

It鈥檚 a real boon for the golfers to accurately calculate how far each shot would have traveled.

鈥淭his is very helpful when trying to get the total distance of your clubs figured out,鈥� said senior Troy Hodge. 

Additionally, the simulator keeps the team on top of their game through the winter.

鈥淭he machine helps us practice and maintain good swings for the spring season,鈥� says junior Ben Shenk.

In addition to its basic analytic capabilities, the simulator comes with three playing modes 鈥� closest to the pin, longest drive, and challenge mode 鈥� which can make for some friendly competition between the golfers.

鈥淵ou can challenge someone else or play by yourself. Our team enjoys the 鈥榗losest to the pin鈥� and 鈥榣ong drive鈥� competitions, because we can compete to see who is the best that day,鈥� Hodge said.

“Firstly, I want to thank God for the opportunity that he has laid in front of me to coach college golf,” said Swartzentruber.聽 “I also want to thank my former high school players. They mean the world to me, and they have shaped the coach I am today. I probably learned more from them than they learned from me. I would also like to thank Director of Athletics聽Dave King聽and President聽Susan Schultz Huxman聽for trusting me and allowing me the opportunity to coach at this university.”

As an athlete, Swartzentruber was an all-district player at Spotswood High School before helping to start the EMU golf program during his senior collegiate year in 2012-13, earning recognitions to the ODAC Sportsmanship Team and the All-Academic Team. Now he will become the third coach for the Royals entering the eighth season in program history.

“I’m really excited to add Andre to our quality coaching staff,” King said. “I’m pleased to be able to give another young alumnus an entrance into collegiate coaching. His knowledge of EMU and the local community, combined with his passion to give back to his alma mater make Andre the right person to continue moving the golf program forward. His connections to the high school golf community will help in his recruiting efforts.”

Spotswood’s teams qualified for the regional tournament every year under Swartzentruber’s leadership while claiming numerous all-district and all-region awards. The Blazers earned a team low score of 296 during his tenure, while an individual golfer tied the school record with a round of 65 (-7). He coached a female player to back-to-back top-10 finishes in the state tournament, with a male golfer landing in the top-15.

King pointed out Swartzentruber’s strengths to springboard the direction of the EMU program.

“While not having collegiate coaching experience, his understanding of recruiting from the other side will help him connect with high school golfers,” said King. “It has taken longer than expected to establish our golf program, but I believe Andre’s energy and enthusiasm for the work will result in positive growth for the men’s and women’s teams. I’m eager to help Andre grow as a collegiate coach and see the program develop to its fullest potential.”

Swartzentruber said he was drawn to give back to 草莓社区.

“My time at EMU was and always will be a special time in my life,” Swartzentruber explained.聽 “Getting the opportunity to give back to that community that shaped me as a young adult is an exciting one that I am really looking forward to.聽 I hope I can be a positive influence and develop young men and women as golfers but also as fine human beings in today’s society.”

The Old Dominion Athletic Conference has named聽聽(Telford, Pa./Dock Mennonite Academy) as the Golfer of the Week.

This is her first weekly award.

Longacre shot a 77 (+5)聽on Saturday聽at Lakeview聽Golf聽Course in Harrisonburg, breaking her low round in the process. Sunday’s round was cancelled because of rain, leaving Longacre second out of 71 women.

EMU freshman聽聽(Canton, Ohio/Lake Center Christian) carded a 109 (+37) to finish 59th in her first collegiate outing.

Christopher Newport’s Erica Whitehouse ran away with medalist honors with a 70 (-2).

Entering her third season, Longacre’s previous best round was a 78. She was extremely consistent playing Lakeview’s Peak and Mountain courses, landing 11 pars and two birdies. Longacre finished in the top 10 in four of her seven tournaments in 2017-18, including all of the spring events. The runner-up medal tied her best collegiate finish.

Last week she shot two of her four lowest collegiate golf rounds, 85 and 84. While she was at it, she lowered her season average to 87.0, 4.5 strokes below last year鈥檚.

Olyvia came into this season with a new perspective.

鈥淚 just wanted to have fun, and I didn鈥檛 care how I did,鈥� she explained. 鈥淚 knew that I was putting too much pressure on myself, and so if I tried not to think about winning as much, I鈥檇 end up playing better.鈥�

Her plan seems to have worked. Her coach, Mike Yoder, agreed.

鈥淥lyvia has had a strong progression from last year to now,鈥� Yoder said. 鈥淣ot only has she improved her mechanics but she has made great strides mentally. She does a better job of staying in the moment and playing to her strengths during a round.鈥�

For Olyvia, golf is a family affair.

鈥淢y dad plays golf, so he took me to a little camp when I was really little,鈥� she said. 鈥淏ut then growing up, I鈥檇 also play golf with my grandma…both of my grandparents play golf. I grew up with it a lot with my uncles too, they play golf.鈥�

This long-term history with the sport influenced Olyvia鈥檚 decision to play in college.

鈥淚 just see it as getting to play free golf, honestly,鈥� Olyvia admitted.

Olyvia is EMU鈥檚 only women鈥檚 golfer.

鈥淏ut it鈥檚 fine,鈥� Olyvia said, 鈥渂ecause in high school I was the only girl.鈥�

However, she does hope for more people to join the team so they can travel to more tournaments.

When Olyvia has a free moment, she enjoys the simple things in life.

鈥淚 like to listen to music, hang out with friends, go to the caf or not the caf…just go out and get food.鈥�

With a health and physical education major, along with coaching and business minors, Olyvia could see herself as a coach or elementary school PE teacher after graduation.

Olyvia values golf for the chance it provides her to de-stress.

鈥淚 think my favorite part of the sport is how relaxed it is. When I go out and play golf in the afternoon, I don鈥檛 really feel like it鈥檚 a practice. Like, I feel like it鈥檚 just time to calm down from my day at school. So, it鈥檚 more fun for me than anything else. I just enjoy it.鈥�

The Royals had 103 honorees two years ago, which is also the only time the school eclipsed 100.

Eligibility for the ODAC All-Academic Team is open to any student-athlete that competes in a conference-sponsored sport, regardless of academic class. He or she must achieve at least a 3.25 grade point average for the year to be considered for an ODAC All-Academic Award.

All of EMU鈥檚 ODAC-sponsored sports were represented on the All-Academic Team.聽 Men鈥檚 volleyball competes in the Continental Volleyball Conference which聽.

Old Dominion Athletic Conference student-athletes set a record for the eighth straight season as 1,974 honorees comprise the 2016-17 ODAC All-Academic Team, well above last year鈥檚 total of 1,846. Representatives from each of the conference’s 17 member institutions — 14 full-time and three associates — pushed the squad’s total over 1,000 for the 11th consecutive year.
