On September 29th and 30th, Addison Carr and Nicholas Jayne got the chance to play at Calvert City Country Club in the first round of the State.

 After both Nick and Addison had good rounds at regions, they punched their ticket to the next round. Nick Jayne said, “I didn't play how I wanted to, but I was very grateful for the opportunity to be out there playing a sport that I love.” Unfortunately, Jayne was unable to play to qualify for the next round.

 Girls golfer Addison Carr also had the opportunity to play. She didn't play her best on the front nine, but had a great bounce back with a solid front. Carr said, “ I couldn't get into a rhythm on the front, but I am proud of the way I battled and kept my head in it on the back nine. Even though Jayne and Carr were not able to qualify, they both had very outstanding seasons.

On Tuesday September 23 the boys golf team went to Maywood to compete in the Regional tournament. After the team went up last Sunday, they arrived at the tournament fairly prepared because they knew the course well. 

With 2 birdies, a bogey, and a double on the front, Nicholas Jayne shot a 37 on the front. On the back Nick shot a 38 and secured his score with a birdie on the last hole! 

Owen Wheeler also had a good round, his best all season. He went 40-41 with a total of 81. “The course was very tight but I was able to keep the ball in the fairway. The competition was tough and I am looking forward to next season in hopes that I will make it then.”

Jayne was able to secure the T7 spot in order to advance to state which will be played at Calvert City Country Club. “I just had to remind myself that hard work beats talent anyday. I was reminding myself of the verse Colossians 3:23.”

On Monday, September 8th, Harper Webb traveled to Owensboro to represent the boys golf team in the 2A state championship. He earned his spot after qualifying at Lincoln Homestead, where he shot a 74 to grab the 2nd individual spot.

Webb went up the day before for a practice round to get used to the course. He noticed the greens were very different from what he was used to, but he liked how the course looked overall.

He started his round on hole 10 with two solid pars. The next few holes had some ups and downs. He triple bogeyed, birdied, double bogeyed, and bogeyed. After that stretch, he was 5 over par heading onto hole 16. He held steady for the rest of that nine and finished with a 41 on the back nine.

On the front nine, Webb struggled with keeping each hole consistent and finished with a 44. That left him with a total score of 85 (+13), tying for 40th place. “I am not proud of how I played, but it was a good experience for me. I plan to learn from this and move forward as the region is coming up,” Webb said.

Make sure to wish Harper and the boys golf team good luck as they continue on this season! The boys golf team plays September 23rd at Maywood golf course.
