Excellence par for I.V. golf duo
From our weekly issue dated April 21, 2010
The Illinois Valley High School boys varsity golf team is looking to improve its game as the spring sports season rolls on.
On Thursday, April 8, the squad went to Centennial Golf Course in Medford for a tournament and placed fifth among five teams.
A Monday, April 12 tournament at Reames Golf Course in Klamath Falls went better for the Cougars, who earned fourth place. Two IVHS golfers earned personal tournament records.
- Sophomore Travis Robbins shot 87 on the 72-par course.
- Junior Roger Hults carded 79.
Unpredictable spring weather has complicated the squad“s practices, said coach Matt Knight.
“We never know what kind of shape the I.V. Golf Course is going to be in to be able to practice on,“ he said. “We“re also getting used to the greens at other courses. The greens out here on the I.V. course are pretty long, so you have to hit pretty hard to get it in the hole.
“The other courses are pretty mowed down, and that takes some getting used to.“
Up next for the team is a Tuesday, April 27 tournament at Stone Ridge Golf Course in Eagle Point.
