Falcons Golf Season Comes to an End with a Win and is Topped Off with a Celebration
By Bennett O.
Despite the weather, the Falcons had no trouble taking home the win against Sullivan West, 246-248.
Up by one stroke and going into the last hole, the Falcons were driven to a victory by number one golfer Fran H. who kept his composer, shooting a 46. “I am grateful that I was a part of the team,” he said. “If it wasn’t for my teammates, and coaches Willy and Woody, I wouldn’t have been able to improve my swing.”
The Falcons had defeated their arch-rival Sullivan West which was fitting due to the fact that it was their last game of the season. “Our team came together in order to achieve a goal. We had not beaten Sullivan West in a long time,” said coach Thomas Wood. “We, as a team, accomplished It!”
The team has had a terrific season with a record of eight wins and four losses. To top it off, they beat Sullivan West for the first time in at least eight years. “I am proud to be a part of the team, which has taught me a lot of things both on and off of the golf course,” said Falcon golfer Kevin D.
With the season over, coaches Willy Williamson and Woody treated their players to a fun-filled round of golf at the French Woods course. The match was a seven on seven, with coach Williamson on one team and coach Woody on the other, played in best ball format. It lasted nine holes, with both coaches showing teammates some “tricks of the trade.” A two under par performance by team Williamson was good for a onepoint victory.
“We ended the season on a good note, finishing strong, and winning our last four games,” said coach Williamson. “The climax of the season was the match against each other; this made me realize that the small things in life, like playing golf, are things to cherish.”
