(The short game) does tame time and patience. The team is willing to dedicate the necessary time to improve. The results don't come overnight - it's a game where a lot of practice eventually pays off. |
From tee to green, we're great. But our putting killed us. We really have to do a lot of work on our short game. |
I was very pleased with Matt Smith's race, he put in extra effort and we might not have made it (to state) without him. |
If we shave a few strokes here and there in our short game, we should be right there. It's that close and that competitive in this league. Anyone can win. |
If we would have had one more player and he shot the average of the rest of the guys, we would have finished around fifth place or better. Our goal now is if we can't get qualified as a team, that we get as many of our players to the regions as possible and the way they're improving, we could just exceed our expectations. |
If you look at the scores, there's only 24 strokes separating first and sixth place. That's not a lot of strokes. |
It meant that the rest of the team had to be almost perfect to keep us in the race. And while we weren't perfect, we did well enough to end up in fourth place after the first day, only 13 points out of the lead. |
It was Clay's best race of the year. He picked a really good line through the course and finished strong. |
It's another GS race and the course should be longer. If we want to beat the North Tahoe and Truckee men we'll have be more aggressive and make sure everyone is there to race. |
It's been great and I can see that they are starting to improve their games. It's just a shame we can't get enough players to qualify in team standings. I think we'd place pretty high. |
It's going to come to the bitter end. This year's league is very competitive and the two teams that finish consistent from here on out will go to state. |
It's hard to be on a golf team because of the burden it places on a kid trying to get his schoolwork in. We miss entire days of classes to go to matches and I understand how hard that can be. But we've got a very competitive group and we'll be all right. |
Overall we skied really well. But (the race) shows anything can happen and it can be anyone on the team who scores. |
Radford had a really good run. He skied really well despite the conditions. |
Stevie is continuing to improve each week. |
