Change of Venue Tricky for Redskin Golf

Expecting to play at Auburn Hills in Wichita, Bishop Carroll’s golf tournament switched to Rolling Hills Country Club instead on Monday the Liberal’s second tournament of the season.  That made it difficult at time not knowing where to hit some tee shots and the trouble areas.  The Redskins finished 11th out of 20.  Here are the team standings.

1. Maize South 311

2. Bishop Carroll 312

3. Goddard Eisenhower 315

4. Kapaun 324

5. Wichita Trinity 335

6.Salina Sacred Heart 339

7. Spring Hill 341

8. Wichita Southeast 344

9. Dodge City 345

10. Derby 362

11. Liberal 363

12. Wichita East 371

13.  Ark City 410

14. Wichita Heights 433

15. Wichita North 438

16. Wichita Northwest 439

17. St. John 442

For the Redskins, Kale Miller shot an 84 and just missed medaling by finishing tied for 26th out of the 117 golfers.  Aron Rivas had a solid round that just got away from him at the end with an 88.  Skyler Hubbard shot a 94, Landon Martinez a 97, Hudson Rice 100, and Blayden Betts 109.

Thursday the Redskins play at Newton.

 

Coach Nick Rotolo’s comments:

We had a course change from Auburn Hills to Rilling Hills Country Club and the unfamiliar course made it difficult at times with us not knowing where to hit some tee shots and the trouble areas. We finished 11th out of 20 teams and just behind Derby and Dodge who’s both in our regional (finished 1 and 2 last year). We were paired with both the teams and was beating them through 14 holes but didn’t finish the round as 23 of our 75 strokes over par came in the last 4 holes. I do feel like we can take some positives out of the day on the big fast undulating greens that we are not used to and the boys battled all day long. I believe this didn’t only show me but showed them if we finish rounds limit big numbers and 3 putts we won’t only be competing for a WAC title but also a chance at qualifying for state. We will see what the rest of the season brings but I believe we can have a successful one.”
