Which team has a record of 7-2 and has an 18:1 boy to girl ratio? There is only one sports team that can claim this statistic. If you guessed the golf team, you would be correct. Golf is a sport that not only uses the body, but also the mind. Junior Aaron McSorely said “if you aren’t mentally focused on golf, you can’t even begin to play.” Junior Jessica Canonge completely agrees. Many people do not know how a golf match works. The score is made up of how many strokes each player takes — the more strokes, the more points. The goal is to have the least amount of points. In each match, six players from each team golf together. Both teams play in groups of four, with two people from one team and two from the other team. “In the end, each team gets rid of the worst score. Then you add up the five remaining scores, and the team with the lowest score wins,” Canonge said. Head Coach Mr. Fitzpatrick recently led the golf team to a victory over New Brighton for the first time in six years. Canonge said that he gives good pointers to help players practice, and he really cares about the golf team. Freshman Stu Skogsholm said “[Fitzpatrick] is the best coach ever.” Senior Captain Nick Schwab said the team faces a lot of adversity and gets troubled by other Freedom sports teams. “Don’t knock it until you try it, because most people have never tried it,” Schwab said. Because of their good season, the team would also like to be recognized more by the students and faculty for their achievements. Coach Fitzpatrick said he is proud that golf team has a good chance at making the playoffs and maintaining a winning record, which has not happened in a few years.
