Chelan Golf gets into the Swing of Spring Sports

Submitted by Kirk Einspahr, CHS Golf Coach

 The Chelan team was finally able to get onto the golf course and off the field at the back of the school.  They hosted the Wenatchee JV boys and girls for a 9-hole match, which started out in rain but soon cleared for a nice afternoon on the links.

Taking honors for the boys was Chelan freshman Miles Grossberg, coming in with a 46, followed closely by Wenatchee’s Colin Snyder with a 47.  The Wenatchee JV posted a team score of 193 to Chelan’s 229.

For the girls, honors went to Chelan senior Emily Christenson who tied with Wenatchee’s Ashley Turner with a 59.  All the girls from both teams were fairly closely matched. The scores weren’t where they will be as we progress, since I expect some great improvements for Chelan as we are able to get onto the greens and fairways and get some better practices in.  Wenatchee took the team honors with a 242 to Chelan’s 255.

For the boys, I was very happy to see Miles and Seth Hannu (Chelan sophomore) post respectful scores, knowing we have a lot of room for improvement.

The top 5 boys will be traveling to the Jack Barnes Invitational this Saturday for a tournament match at Three Lakes GC in Malaga, and the whole team will be competing again next Tuesday for a home match against league rival Omak, and then traveling Thursday to Quincy (Colockum Ridge GC) for a nonleague match.
