Reeths-Puffer finished third at Thursday's O-K Green Conference
mid-season tournament, a disappointing result to the players after
having taken second in the jamborees to date.
While coach Matt
Pallett wasn't necessarily thrilled with the performance either, he was
impressed that his team wasn't satisfied with a team score of 358,
which was still its second-best 18-hole score of the season.
“Overall,
the team didn’t feel great about our performance today," Pallett said.
"We just shot our 2nd lowest 18 hole round of the
season and they were not happy. It shows that the girls feel we can keep
getting better.”
Sophia McCollum took second place overall,
shooting a 76. She made a pair of birdies during her round and finished
her day with an eagle on the par-5 18th hole.
Olivia Ambler
added a 92 for R-P, closely followed by Ella Voorhies with a 93.
Kayleigh Brown, playing in her first 18-hole match, rounded out the team
scoring with a 97, including a birdie.
"The path to success is not always a straight line," Pallett said. "Golf is a great
teacher of that. Some shots, holes and days are definitely better than
others. We will work on our weaknesses to improve and work our way
towards our team goals.”
