Dawson Anders, a Telford native, has led by example over the past three seasons as golf team captain at Temple University, writes Nick Gangewere for The Temple News.

Already as a Souderton Area High School sophomore, Anders could drive a ball more than 300 yards and had the meticulous short game that is necessary for a Division 1 golfer.

“My sophomore year of high school is when I started getting my scores down lower,” said Anders. “I definitely started to notice a little separation between me and some of the guys I played with in high school.”

As a team captain in a university, he always made sure to be the first to arrive at the driving range and the last one to leave the gym.

His competitive nature helped his team secure an appearance at the American Athletic Championship. Anders, who practices daily at the 1912 Club in Plymouth Meeting, has played some of his best games this season.

He finished No. 21 overall at East Carolina University Intercollegiate in March and recorded a personal season-best three-under 210 at the Princeton Invitational earlier this month.
