Flagler College has the opportunity to have an outstanding Coach for both men’s and women’s golf team. Santiago Cavanagh always wanted to coach a golf team, and in 2008 his desire of coaching came true when he started coaching the women’s team and in the spring of 2009 started coaching the men’s team as well.

Cavanagh was born in Argentina and came to the United States to play golf in college. He graduated from LMU in Tennessee in 2002. While playing in LMU the Argentinean demonstrated his potential by wining seven tournaments and achieving a ranking position #38 in NCAA Division II and 12th in the South Region. Cavanagh has also worked as the head professional at the World Golf Village in St. Augustine and an assistant pro at the Ridgeway Country Club in Memphis, Tennessee.

After years of students patiently waiting for Flagler to create a lacrosse team, the time has come. Flagler now offers an intercollegiate club team. They currently have a three-year plan to join the Men’s College Lacrosse Association.

Flagler College student Landon Clair, 20, was the first to show initiative in getting a lacrosse team together. He is now one of the captains of the club.

“The whole point of starting this club was so that we could just play lacrosse at Flagler and have some fun,” Clair said. “We all love playing, and we’re ultimately looking to start something that will last with the college.”

Johnny Unitas’ streak of 47 consecutive games with a touchdown pass is an enduring NFL record that stood for more than a half century.

On Sunday, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees just might break the record. And that would be fine with Jillian Unitas, the granddaughter of the late NFL Hall of Fame quarterback.
