GOLF UPDATE vs. MAC Red Division Championship

The Bulldogs came up just short in their show down with Red Division rivals at Michigan State’s Forest-Akers West golf course.

The final tally was GPN 311 – Romeo 320. The rest of the schools were several shots behind the Bulldogs. Nate Stevens led the way with co-medalist honors by firing an even par 72 on the day. Nate maintained the lowest overall dual match average by more than 1 stroke with a 37.5 average. Nate has been named on the All MAC Red Division team for the 2rd consecutive year.

More important than this, I played 9 holes with “rival coaches” from GPN and GPS and helped to shore up some bad blood. I think I clearly communicated to them that I desire our teams to maintain friendly rivalries and that all matches should look for fair competition as the hallmark. I think all parties were ashamed at how some of the matches played out. With that in mind, if the switch of seasons does take place we could have 4 new head coaches in place next season out of 5 Red division teams. In the previous 5 seasons there has not been a change of coaching. Amazing.

We are looking forward to two big events next week. First, Romeo and Eisenhower will compete for the coveted Cider Cup on Tuesday followed by the Regional event at the Orcards next Thursday.
