Bulldog golfers to face league foe Del Norte Thursday

By Bill Tamburrino

The Ramona High golfers are 6-1 in league play and have a shot at the only team that beat them, Del Norte, at San Vicente Golf Resort on Thursday.

The Bulldog team improved to 17-2 on the season last week when it traveled to Cottonwood Golf Club and beat Steele Canyon 209-231 in a non-league match.

Ramona High’s Ryan Graf walked away with his ninth medalist honor of the season as he shot a 38 on the par 36 front nine.

The rest of the Bulldogs shot in the 40s. Kazar Matoian carded a 41. Jacob Buckley and Jason Morton each turned in scores of 43. Cameron Marshall shot 44 and Michael Smith recorded a 47.

Coach Michael Gainey thanked the weatherman after the team’s 198-212 win over Oceanside at Oceanside Municipal Golf Course.

“We were fortunate to be playing near the coast today as we were able to escape the Santa Ana Winds that were blowing in the inland valleys,” Gainey said. “The team as a whole played very well and secured another league win.”

Justin Graf shared medalist honors as he fired a 37 on the front nine. Smith shaved nine strokes off of his score at Cottonwood and carded a 38. Jason Morton and Thomas Andrews each carded 40. Marshall shot 43 and Riley Hubbard shot 45.
