Anderson makes his mark at Minot State

Blair Anderson discovered at age 10 he had a knack for golf.

Blair Anderson discovered at age 10 he had a knack for golf.

Playing every day, sometimes twice a day, all summer long at Pine Valley Golf Club in Prince George, he had no idea back then his love for swinging a club would eventually lead him to the plains of North Dakota.

Now part of the Minot State University team as a scholarship player, Anderson has absolutely no regrets he's taken his golfing talents south of the border.

"It's probably the best decision I ever made," said Anderson.

He wrapped up the first fall season last weekend, shooting 72-69 to help his team to a second-place finish at the nine-team Dakota Wesleyan Invitational in Mitchell, S.D.

"I was definitely happy with that," said Anderson. "The home team was trying to break school records but they didn't accomplish that, so it was pretty fair.

"This wasn't a conference tournament but we've won all three we've played so far. I was pretty satisfied, I got in the top five (on the team) in all six tournaments so I was pretty happy about that. That was definitely my goal coming in."
