Hole in Won
A good slice sure can hit that sweet spot. For those of you who are not privy to the esoteric terms associated with golf (which included me until I hit google),both are important words in the sport. However, most of you probably known what a hole in one is--and luckily, its all you need to know on the subject to be up-to-date on the scores of the boys golf team.
In other words,the members of the Varsity Boys Golf team are back and determined to match or exceed their performances last year. After an impressive league championship last year, they have a lot to live up to. In fact, they were only cut right before the state game! This year, they hope to win league, stay undefeated, and qualify for state.
"We are planning to make it farther than last year," stated captain sophomore Richard Jeong.
Though their expectations and goals seem big, they don't want to settle for anything less. Hopefully, their confidence, talent, and hard work will help them achieve their goals.
However, they are starting off their season just right, beating out Glendora with a final score of 197 to 205 on Mar 2.
For the boys, practice is every day at the Santa Anita Golf Course, or Par 3. There, they hit a bucket of balls or putt. Many have thought that all it takes to play golf is a lucky swing and a small white ball. However, those who do don't give the sport enough credit.
Golf can be a tedious sport and takes up much of the players' time. Unlike most other sports, the members of the Boys Varsity Golf team must miss entire days of school in order to go to a comeptition.
"Golf is really a game of management and patience.It can get boring at times, but as long as you are dedicated to the game, it probably be one of the most competitive sport," said sophomore Jason Park. After all, those who are successful in the sport end up rich, famous, and well-respected.
For those of you who are interested in the sport, do not be discouraged! According to the captains and members of the team, all it takes is patience and the determination to succeed. "you have to put in a minimum of 2-3 hours a day at the driving range and/or play on the course almost every day. It takes a strong desire to improve and a great deal of dedication to the game of golf," explained Coach Mr. Robert Greep.
So far, the team's record is practically spotless. They have beaten Glendora two times-once every time they've played against the dominant Apaches! On Mar. 10, Arcadia slid by with a 192 to 203. The next day, they played to perfection, beating Glendale with a score of 208 to 266.
When the team played against San Marino on Mar. 17, the Apaches won with a close call 133 to 144. However, the next day, the team experience its first and hopefully only loss of the season in their second game against San Marino, losing 334 to San Marino's 314.
In the Ayala Tournament, the boys took third in a strong field and against harsh conditions. They also won the Glendale tournament despite being presented with difficult situations.
Their first league meet, which was hosted at the Oakmont County Club on Mar. 29th, resulted in a ____ to _____.
On Apr. 1, the team beat out John Muir High School with a 192 to their much higher 288.
Soon after, they took out Oak Park, edging out the school in a close 393 to 403 on Apr. 12.
The team itself is very close. With only 17 boys on both the varsity and junior varsity teams, the members of Boys Golf know each other very well, and their relationship might be a factor in their past, current, and future success.
"Our plan for CIF is to win the Central division then move on to CIF team finals where we'd like to qualify for State. AHS golf has never made it to state and the boys would like to be the first team to do so," concluded Coach Greep.
