I hope this isn’t a sign of things to come. But I never like losing. The only thing I dislike more than losing is getting my butt kicked.
We took the 3 best sophomores and the 2 worst juniors to the Warren Woods-Tower Invitational today to play 18 holes at http://www.oakridgegolf.com where they proceeded to play against 18 other Macomb County teams. Granted, this was our jv versus all the rest of the areas varsity teams. However, we are better than we played today. Of the 4 scores we kept, only one of them was below 90. The winning team from DeLaSalle HS had all four of their scores in the 70s.
The spin on it is that it was good exposure for these students. Since we were so tough last year and the tournament didn’t know were were brining our jv, they lumped us together with the best kids around. The other 3 teams in my groups foursomes finished 1st, 2nd and 3rd respectively. If we had brought our varsity than clearly that would have been the group to watch out for. So, it was painful to see these kids get pounded and finish 16 out of 19 teams invited. Had these students had played their averages, we should have finished in a respectable 9th place.
I am still waiting to hear how things went for our varsity team. They were across the state at the Zeeland Invitational, which is a showcase of the best teams in the state. In other golfing news we have a whale of a week coming up. Tuesday we will take the 8 best to http://www.golfmsu.msu.edu/ to get a preview of where this years State Finals will be. We will also have another look at it for the conference championship coming up in early October. Hopefully, the guys will be back there a couple of weeks later for the finals. On Wednesday, we have our first official match down at http://www.cherrycreekgolf.com/ against Eisenhower HS followed by a tough match against Rochester Adams HS on Thursday and Friday. Another busy week before school begins 8/31!
