On a beautiful Monday afternoon the Portledge Varsity Golf team opened its season at the Piping Rock Club in a tri match v. LWA & LuHi. The Panther links men, and women, were well adorned in their brand new Portledge golf shirts and appeared ready to go as they boarded the bus for the short trip over to Piping. Since they would be competing without regular #2 David Wilson, out due to hip surgery, there was a slight air of butterflies running through the Portledge team. Many of whom were playing in their first Varsity Golf match.
How Did This Contest Turn Out?
Well, the Panthers could not really have hoped for much better results on this day. The team was victorious over LWA by a match score of 5 to 1 and were also better than LuHi by a 4 to 2 margin. These are excellent results for so early in the season. Senior captain Ray Weinmann led the way carding an impressive score of one under par 34. Ray had back to back birdies on the difficult sixth and seventh holes and only bogeyed the last when he missed a short put for par. Junior John Litke shot a solid round of 41 to defeat his opponents, and the Freshman duo of Steven DiBartolomeo and Tom Parisi both shot in the forties to secure some more victories for Portledge. Next up is a rematch with LuHi over at Tam O' Shanter on Thursday.
