Tons of Golf Lately!
Tourney Saturday, today and tomorrow. I wish it was more spread out over fall and spring instead of just fall. Texas has tourneys all year, same number, just spread apart.
Today was a region battle for the kids at Fox Hollow (old Tri-City). Tommy shot 8th best overall and Timpview won. Below are the results in order:
(1st – 301) Timpview
(2nd – 305) Corner Canyon
(3rd – 314) Alta
(4th – 335) Orem
(5th – 337) Timpanogos
(6th – 346) Sky Ridge
(7th – 351) Mountain view
(8th – 375) Provo.
About scoring, I didn’t understand till this year how high school golf worked. This is how I understand it. You can have as many people on a team as you want, but you can only take 6 varsity and 4 jv to tournaments. You can swap player orders tournament to tournament. When figuring scores, you take the best 4 scores out of the six varsity to get a total score.
I only shot one video today. It was after this crazy high 300yd drive of Tommy’s. He then had a chip to the green on the par 4 and was disappointed he didn’t get his next shot closer than 15 ft. Pretty solid day, shot par on front nine and then 6 over on the back.
Out-of-Region Tourney in Syracuse at Glen Eagle
Yesterday was an out-of-region golf tourney at Glen Eagle Golf Course in Syracuse (way out by Antelope Island). I took enough pics to feel like a paparazzo.
So far, the Timpview team has won their two in-region tournaments, but this one showed there’s always room to improve. This was a mixed 5a / 4a tourney. The 5a teams were American Fork, Bingham, Clearfield, Davis, Fremont, ???, Northridge, Pleasant Grove, Syracuse, Viewmont, Weber and Woods Cross. The 4a teams were Bonneville, Box Elder, and Timpview.
Winner was Davis (Davis has some really good golfers!)
It was a long drive to the golf course and I expected them to be nearly done by the time I got there, but they weren’t even half-way though. All the kids were exhausted by the end. Still, really fun to watch.
A for Effort
I lost my sunglasses but tonight one of my kids said proudly, “Guess what I found?” I just shrugged. He reached into his pocket and started to dig around, but after a second or two, panic spread across his face. He then produced just the part that’s in the picture. “I DID find your sunglasses! But I guess I lost the rest.” I could only laugh.
