Bulldog golfers head to conference play

Share

Battling for a share of the Valley League title in boys golf, Ramona High Bulldogs came up two strokes short in their match against Fallbrook.

The Bulldogs went into the April 28 match on their home course at San Vicente Golf Resort with an 8-1 league record. Had they won, they would have tied for the league title with Fallbrook, which ended league play undefeated.

“Unfortunately, we came up a few shots short of victory but still managed to pull out another great team score,” said coach Michael Gainey. “We finished the regular season 8-2 in league play and 14-3 overall for the season. I’m really proud of our guys and it was fun for us coaches to see the camaraderie between players on both sides of this important match.”

In the 205-207 loss, Thomas Andrews shot two over par for a 38. Justin Graf and Serop Matoian, each had 41; Cameron Marshall, 43; and Keagen Fritz and David Hall, each shot 44. The top five scores are used for the team score.

On May 4 and 5, the Ramona High golfers will be playing in the North County Conference Tournament at Arrowood and Twin Oaks golf courses.

“The week after that we are set to compete in a CIF play-in match against Santana which is to be played at Carlton Oaks Golf Club,” said Gainey. “The winner of this match will qualify to have their team play in the CIF tournament at Admiral Baker Golf Club on May 17 and 19.”
