Golfers struggling to find their stroke

by Dillon Cooper

It is April and that means that golf is back in swing. The freshly cut grass fills the air and creates an aroma like none other. Talented student-athletes all have one goal and that is to put a small, little spherical white ball inside the cup in as few shots as possible and hope to improve each and every time they set out onto that course.

The Pittsford Wildcats, up to this point, have played in three invitationals and have struggled. The ‘Cat’s first major feat was played on April 13 at Riverside, where the Battle Creek St. Philip Fighting Tigers call home. The ‘Cats found themselves on the low end of the totem pole as they finished with a hefty 227 (as a team) as junior Zach Broughman lead the way finishing with a 54. “So far I have started off pretty slow but I worked really hard last week and this week should be better,” expressed Broughman.

The second invitational produced 5th place finish, as P-ford put a beat-down on Belleview, but rival Climax-Scotts was able to take home the gold in the event. Once again, Broughman was able to steer the team in the direction of success finishing with a 46.

In the last contest the Wildcats would be taking on Jonesville in a dual showdown. Needless to say Pittsford fell short, losing by a final tally of 28 strokes, and dropping another grim point in the loss column now bringing it to a double digit mark (1-10). Nevertheless Broughman lead the team, this time scoring a 48.
