Family Foundation School golfer Andrew A. traveled to Swan Lake Country Club May 12 to qualify for the sectional playoffs. Sixty-eight golfers from the Section IX division were given a chance to play in this year’s Sectional Playoffs.
Andrew, however, did not make the cut. He shot a 101 on 18 holes, which left him over 90, and not able to qualify.
Andrew explained that he didn’t play too well. He came out looking to shoot a 90 and was disappointed with what he shot. “My swing felt great on the driving range, but then I got on the course, and my swing fell apart and I couldn’t rely on it,” he said.
Andrew teed off on hole one shooting a bogey. He tried to get into a rhythm, but it seemed that he couldn’t find it. He continued to try to regain his form, however, he was fighting his swing the whole match. He was left with a 50 after the front nine.
Andrew’s goal was to shoot 40 on the back nine leaving him with a 90, hoping that there would be a high cut to qualify.
“My swing felt better, but I couldn’t keep the ball in play,” said Andrew. After a few bogeys, he needed to par the last three holes for a chance to qualify. He ended up shooting three disappointing double bogeys instead.
