The Carson Senators placed second to Manogue at Lakeridge on Tuesday in their third match of the year. Carson shot a 372 to Manogue's 357. Galena came in third with a 397. Damonte was fourth, Douglas fifth, and Wooster had a no score for lack of four scoring golfers.
Lily Landt from Wooster was medalist with a very solid 73. Coach Greenlee was still optimistic about the day's results. "We certainly didn't play as well as we can. Jill and Karen shot 83 and 78, which were top five scores. I know they weren't happy with their scores, but if a couple of the other girls play just a few holes smarter, we're right there in first place again.
Manogue played well and it was a wake-up call for us. We're on track to get to regions and our score was still 14 shots lower than last year's region score so that's a positive. I was also very happy with freshman Sarah Wiggins, whose 103 was an indication that she can be one of our players who can be a sub-100 golfer."
Kassidy Cooley shot a 107, Sophia Taggart a 112, and Gabby Montes came in at 117. "Both Sophia and Kassidy had three holes where inexperience cost them about ten shots each. We talked about it and I anticipate better scores at our next match. Sometimes you just have to accept a bad shot and try not to make it up on the next one. That usually results in even more trouble. We'll work more on course management and ball striking over the next week and be ready for Toiyobe."
Carson is currently still in first place in Sierra League play, one point ahead of Manogue and five ahead of Galena. Team points are awarded on a 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 format. Karen leads the individual Cup Points with 105 points and Jill and Lily are tied for second at 104. Thirty-six points is awarded for a first place finish, 35 for second, 34 for third, and so on through the complete field of golfers.
Carson’s next match is Tuesday, Sept. 18 at Toiyobe.
