St. Mary's Invitational

Junior Mason Stewart and Sophomore Luke Hannan made huge strides last Tuesday April 26, moving up in their seeding on the Wamego Varsity Golf team. At Rolling Meadows Golf Course in Junction City, Mason Stewart penned a season low 95. With that showing, he moved into 1st position on the team for the tournament in Clay Center, with his brother Dane, as well as Austin Waters, right behind. Mason has scored well in scrimmage rounds, but struggled during competition days; it was good to see him score closer to what he does in practice. I won't be surprised if he shoots in the 80s in the next few weeks. Securing the fourth slot on the team is Luke Hannan. Luke shot a personal best 98 on Tuesday, made possible with his award winning longest put on the 18th green. "It was over 28 feet!" Luke said, "It would have been nice to win a putter or some pro v1 golf balls, but a medal is cool too."

Abilene Invitational

The Wamego two man team of Sophomore Austin Waters and Freshman Dane Stewart paired up to tie for second in the two man event on Tuesday, April 19th in Abilene! Losing a tie breaker and settling for third didn't seem to dampen their spirits. "I figured we put together a good round eventually," commented Waters, "even if Dane is just a freshman, he can play pretty good." Dane continues to show promise in his tenure on the Golf team, and hopes he can sustain it over the long haul. "I'll practice in a hurricane if I have to!" he texted at one point. With the weather these guys have had to face lately, that may not be a bad idea. The temperature never made if over 55, and the wind chill seem barely touched 50. For Austin and Dane, the mercury didn't matter, since they are warmed with the fact that they've earned their letter for the year.

Chapman Invitational

The Wamego Golf Team took a giant step forward last week at the Chapman Invitational on April 12th. Every player improved on their score from the Wamego Invitational on April 5th. One student in particular that made great gains was Freshman Dane Stewart. He cut is score by 18 to bring in a 95 on Tuesday, giving him the number 2 seed on the team going into the tournament in Abilene on April 19th. Coach Petermann attributes the growth to his commitment to stay on the course after practice to become more comfortable with his swing while also thinking more about playing the course than the person he is paired with. Overall, the 4 man total was good enough for 4th place at 394, a drop of 71 strokes from the week prior. Hopefully, we can keep building on this momentum.
