1963 State Championship Golf Team
The El Camino College 1963 Golf Team was the first athletic team to win a state championship in the history of El Camino College. The state tournament was held at Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego. The one-day tournament consisted of 36 holes over both the north and south courses. The El Camino College Golf Team upset San Mateo, who had won the state championship the previous four years. El Camino College's final standing was 780, with San Mateo at 781. They avoided a playoff round when San Mateo missed a chip on the 36th hole.

Prior to 1963, golf teams consisted of five players counting the four best scores. In 1963 rules were changed and all five scores counted. The following year a sixth player was added and we have what comprises a golf team today: six players with all six scores counting. The 1963 team finished the season with a record of 20 wins and 0 losses, in addition to winning the Metropolitan Conference.
