Golf team remains undefeated in league
The Bulldog golf team had its busiest week of the season as it remained undefeated in the Valley League.
The Dawgs won two matches outright and tied two matches. They won one of the ties in a tie breaker and lost a tie on the tie breaker. The Dawgs finished the week 15-2 overall and are a perfect 9-0 in league matches.
Ramona’s varsity golf team beat Oceanside High School on the Pirate’s home course 187-232.
Joe Fotunato and Josh Haynes shared medalist honors with Oceanside’s Daniel White. All three golfers shot a one under par 35 on Oceanside Municipal Golf Course, which at one time was proposed to be the home of the San Diego Chargers.
White was the only Pirate to play his opponent even. Haynes or Fotunato beat the Pirates number two, Jake Sullivan, by 11 strokes. Brian Moberg’s 37 beat his counterpart by 13 strokes.
Drew Massey’s 38 bested Oceanside’s number four by 12 strokes. Garrett Arnold shot a 42 to best his foe by nine shots. Jake Lohman’s 42 was 30 strokes better than his foe.
Ramona had a close match with Orange Glen that was decided by the tie breaker. In golf, six golfers from each team play a round. Only the top five scores from each team are counted unless the score is tied. In case of a tie, the sixth golfer’s score from each team counts.
