Coach Kleeman - Golf Sectional Comments!

At the start of each year the kids all write down what their team goals are and what their individual goals are for the upcoming season.  Almost every player listed 3 team goals. They were: 1) win the ACAC regular season, 2) win the ACAC Conference Tournament and 3) qualify the team for the Regional. I'm very pleased to say that we have accomplished 2 of the 3 team goals. We missed winning the ACAC regular season when we lost to a very good Heritage team. That day we shot what was at the time our best 9 hole team score of 164 at Pond-A-River in Woodburn. (Note: we eventually shot a 156 at Noble Hawk against East Noble and Central Noble.) The team captured their 2nd consecutive ACAC Conference Tournament championship at one of their favorite courses, Brookwood, by shooting a nice 326 to beat that same Heritage team by 1 stroke. Yesterday we played in the Sectional at Noble Hawk and finished 3rd to qualify the team for their first Regional appearance.  The team shot a 326 compared to the East Noble Invitational in April when they shot 345 - what a nice improvement.  On a individual level, Bennett now has some company at Orchard Ridge on Thursday after shooting a 75. Cameron's 79 was his best 18 hole score of the year and could not have come at a better time. Karsten has a terrific 39 on the back nine and ends with a very respectable 81. Zach, always the grinder, shoots a 89. Jake starts out shooting a great 41 on the front and ends with a 91. Now comes the Regionals! Great job, guys!
