Unfortunately, it never came together for the Crimson in the spring, as it always languished towards the back of the pack in the Ivy League.
Harvard placed well behind the Elis at the Yale Spring Invitational April 10-11, placing eighth of 27, in what would prove its best outing of the spring.
The following weekend brought the Ivy League Championships and more mediocrity. The Crimson ended the tournament a full 24 strokes behind the champions, Columbia, taking sixth in the Ivy.
A weekend off did nothing to stem Harvard's struggling. It limped into twelfth place at the New England Division One Championships, and then finished the year grabbing seventh out of 14 at Army.
In West Point, almost every Crimson player added strokes in consecutive rounds, and the team did not wait until the final results were posted to flee from the cadets.
"The season did end on a bad note," Malcolm said. "But we are a very young team, and we're gaining experience. We're still looking forward to next year."
While the men's golf team had a couple of bright moments, the women could claim just two finishes in the top half of its field.
