The Broncos traveled to Cal City for a league match Wednesday and the Broncos played very well for course conditions coming away with the win. The Broncos posted a team score of 422 with Desert coming in 2nd with a 490, Cal City posted a score of 510 and Kern Valley finishing with a 626.

The weather actually cooperated for once this year, with no wind and the temperature was in the upper 80’s. The Broncos had played Cal City 3 times already so we knew how to attack the course and give ourselves decent shots and opportunities. It paid off and the team was happy. Considering the start we had I am very pleased at the outcome.

Leading the way for the Broncos was Freshman Francesco Toscanini posting the low score for the day with a 78! I am very happy for Francesco and how he played today. Very smart and in control.

Senior Captain Cooper Beard had another strong outing and finished with an 80. Cooper hit the ball great today, just a few hiccups but all in all very good day.

Fellow Senior Parker Pope turned in a score of 86 and continues to lower  his score each week. Rounding out the scoring, freshman Zane Nicholson 87, Senior Garin Pritchard 89, Junior Robby McBride 89 and Senior Travis Cano finishing with a 91.

I think the Seniors are happy that they don’t have to come back to Cal City, but it’s bitter sweet as their Senior Season is winding down. We still have a couple matches to go, and we are going in the right direction.

The Team Score was our lowest  on the season and I know we can go lower. I am very proud of how this team conducts themselves on and off the course. Especially in awkward and challenging circumstances. They play with integrity and amazing ethics!

We have a 2 week break from golf matches but we will still work hard and stay focused. We plan on having a little fun during this break to just relax and forget the pressures.

Next league match for the Broncos is Wednesday April 30th when we travel to Edwards Air Force Base.
