Boys golf team breaks school record
The boys golf team has broken a school record for the two best team scores in school history. And now, the team is starting to compete in many difficult tournaments and matches which is preparing the team for this season as well as the upcoming matches.The team has had many close matches against Grayslake Central. They also faced Lakes, which they ended up in a tiebreaker. They have beaten Wauconda and shot their best team score in school history against Grant High School.
“We set school a record for lowest team score of 158, which was previously 160. It was very exciting for the players as much as me, especially when we shot a 159 against Grant,” said head coach Tim Hough.
During that round, Adam Baker broke the school record for the lowest score at 34, and tied the school record of best round at one under par, and during the second round he shot a 36.
“It felt great when I shot that, but it was also a weird feeling because I have never shot that well before. I have practiced a lot over the summer, and I have been taking practice seriously,” Baker said.
The boys golf team has started the season, as they play in many tournaments and matches and achieve their goals set by their coach.
“We are looking to improve throughout the year by increasing our total amount of wins as well as each player’s consistency,” Hough said.
The team has been looking forward to this season for a while. They have been playing at courses such as Bull Valley Golf Club, Fox Lake Country Club, Bittersweet Golf Club, and the Merit Club.
“I love being on the golf team. I get to play free golf every day, and it lets me have fun with my friends,” said senior Alex Hartigan.
