Golfers face marathon week of disappointment

by Dillon Cooper

It was by far the most active part and most grueling part of this year’s schedule for the Pittsford Wildcat golfers. It included a match every day of the week, plus another on the following Monday. Needless to say the ‘Cats got their fill of golf competitions for a while.

On Cinco De Mayo (May 5, for those who are not familiar with foreign affairs), the Wildcats had a match. This affair was against the Royals of Jackson Christian. JC won this competition by the final say of 180 to 209. Junior Zack Broughman led the way for P-ford, scoring an even 50.

On the following day the Wildcats gave up a nail bitter to a talented Morenci team. The men in blue had many players break the barrier of 50 including Broughman who received a 47, junior Chase Stratton and junior Alex Reinbolt both finished just a stroke over Broughman, scoring 48s. The Wildcats lost by a mere five strokes (190-195).

On May 7, the ‘Cats had another chance to show their stuff but suffered the same result—defeat. Broughman led the way this time matching his previous best (for this year) with a 47.

Monday, May 11, was the last leg of the marathon. The Wildcats had arguably the biggest meet of the year on their hands and had an opportunity to grasp it, but failed to do so. This league-meet was to be played on 18 holes, not the standard nine that the Wildcats are used to. Regardless, Broughman led the way for the ‘Cats, shooting an even 100.
