South Putnam’s golf team lost a close match to Rockville Monday night 176-178 at home.
The Eagles’ Tyler Newby recorded a 39, which was good enough for
medalist honors. Tyler Shoffner shot a 45, with Damon Robinson adding a
46 and Matt Huck a 48. Michael Nichols came to the clubhouse with a 51
and Tyler Cox added a 57.
“This one was disappointing,” South Putnam head coach Scott
Ricke said. “To lose on your home course by only two strokes is tough.
We played decent, but we have to start stepping up our game to the next
level.”
Ricke acknowledged the fact that his guys are attempting to work on their swings, which has them uncomfortable at the moment.
“Several of our guys are undergoing some big swing changes and
they’re not quite comfortable with the adjustments yet,” he said.
“Hopefully we’ll get their swings ironed out and can improve to put up
some solid numbers.
“Newby scored very well, despite not playing his best. This is
his second medalist of the year and hopefully many more are to come,”
Ricke concluded.
The Eagles will travel to Eminence at 4:45 p.m. Thursday.
