Hey everyone...
This past weekend we played in the Loras Duhawk Invitational over in Dubuque at the Meadows Golf Course. As a team, we placed 8th in the 20 team event, and junior Nolan Schmelzer did very well placing 9th in a field with over 110 golfers. We were just 2 strokes away from placing 6th, but we were happy with the overall performance.
Our stats for the tournament were as follows:
8 Coe College 314 328 642
9 Nolan Schmelzer 75 76 151
T 26 Chris Buhr 78 82 160
T 48 Michael Jump 78 86 164
T 61 Jayson Schmelzer 83 84 167
T 92 Nate Feldman 86 93 179
Mother nature however was not too kind for us again. On Sunday, we played in very windy conditions with gust up to 30 m.p.h. The temperatures for Sunday were in the upper 50's so the playing conditions were not too severe. On Monday though, the conditions were as bad as I have ever played in.
We teed off at 9 a.m. and temperatures were barley in the 30's! Combine that with windyer conditions then the day before and it was nearly impossible to play a round of golf. That speaks to how great of a round Nola and the rest of our team was able to posts in two miserable days of golf.
It has been raining all day in Cedar Rapids, so Coach has already decided to cancel practice for the day.
This weekend we travel to Wartburg for there two day tournament. The weather isn't looking so promising so it may be a similar story as last tournaments playing conditions.
This week we will be focusing our practice to our short game. Coach Grimm has said that is the biggest part for all of our games that needs improvement. We are planning on practicing tomorrow down at Finkbine Golf Course in Iowa City too get prepared for faster greens and our conference tournament there in three weeks.
Hopefully the weather cooperates and we can see some warmer and dryer days ahead.
Go Kohawks!
