grandfatherly advice: Freshman golfer set to start at DMACC without lifelong coach at his side2/7/2013 Tanner Ludwig By Kolby Vetter Staff Writer Freshman golfer Tanner Ludwig started his first practice for the DMACC team two weeks ago, but there is one thing missing – his grandpa. Ludwig’s grandpa moved from coach to number one fan, when the three-time state champion finished his playing career in high school and joined the Bears. “Looking back at the last four years, I have had so much fun playing the game and learning from my grandpa, everything was blast, and the fact that we won made it even better,” Ludwig said. For the past four years Ludwig has been guided by his Grandpa Larry Clark at Kuemper Catholic High School. Ludwig grew up around the game, all of his grandparents played, his parents played, but there was one grandparent that stood out, and that man was Larry Clark. There was a special bond, a love for the game; and at age 6 Ludwig was already receiving lessons from his grandpa. Over the past 12 years, the bond has grown even stronger. Leading the charge at Kuemper High School, Clark has not only won numerous state titles but has taught his grandson and many more valuable life lessons. Matt Gute, who also is a golfer at DMACC, played for Kuemper and remembers what it was like. “Coach Clark was the best coach I have ever had in any sport, and Tanner was a good leader, fun to place with, and was a great golfer,” Gute said.

Information from DMACC Bears Athletics home page By Kolby Vetter Contributing Writer As the days continue their march through fall and winter heading toward spring, DMACC’s baseball program waits. Waits for the field to turn from brown to green. Waits for the scoreboard to light up once again. Waits for the bats to start swinging, the balls to start flying and the gloves to start catching. A roster of nearly 30 players and coaches all waiting for the chance to once again show the world what they’ve got. And what they’ve got appears to be a formula for a winning program: the Bears have the “winningest JUCO baseball program in the country over the last five years,” according to a DMACC news release. DMACC’s Athletic Director Orv Salmon gives the credit to an outstanding coaching staff, motivated players and a supportive campus community. “I think about an athletic program that is based on good coaches that bring in student-athletes who want to take advantage of the opportunity on the Boone campus in the classroom and on the floor. Our success is based on this premise starting with our coaches,” he said.
