This year, we have started a new column of local golf quick hitters called This Week in Golf (TWIG). We are looking to highlight special moments, school records, impactful people, and other unique stories as the golf season unfolds. We don’t hear about everything, so if there is something you would like to be included, please reach out to us on social media or email us with a small recap of what you would like to be posted.

Tournament Results

We are trying to keep tabs on all tournament scores. We will have separate pages for Conference Tournaments and Regular Tournaments. Any scores that are not posted, please feel free to send over (bolinr@hudson.k12.oh.us). Unfortunately, we aren’t able to post scores from 9 hole matches as there are too many to keep track of.

Conference Updates

A few more conference champions were crowned last week. Congratulations to the Hoover Vikings on winning their fourth consecutive Federal League Championship. Brunswick swept all four tournaments to win their first ever Greater Cleveland Conference Championship. In the Suburban League, Highland took all four American Division tournaments and Nordonia won all four in the National Division.

Sectional Results

The Division 2 District field is set. As predicted, the Keystone Wildcats and Columbiana Clippers both easily won their Sectional championships, and also as predicted, the Punderson Sectional proved to be a battle royale. Punderson was packed with several quality teams that would probably have advanced from the other two sites, but only four teams were able to advance to Good Park. In the end, four total strokes separated the Sectional Champion from the sixth place team. Lake Catholic was the team that prevailed, earning a one shot victory over Southeast and Chagrin Falls with a 369. Fourth place went to Gilmour Academy, as they edged out both Orange and Edgewood by a single shot. Medalists from each Sectional were junior Anuja Patel of Orange from Punderson with a 76, freshman Avery Robinette of Champion from Pine Lakes with a 79, and sophomore Sophia Clarico of Keystone from Pine Lakes with a 79. A full list of teams and individuals headed to Good Park on Wednesday can be found at this link.

Hole in One

Another Hole in One! Congratulations to St. Joseph Academy junior Willa Streeter who got her ace at the New Albany Co-Ed Invitational at the Links at Echo Springs!
