Time to focus for CL boys golf team

The Clear Lake boys golf team spent much of last week on the links and Coach Bart Smith is challenging his players to begin to put all of their experience together heading into the post-season.

“We competed well in some of our tournaments and won a quad that we were suppose to win, but right now if we don’t turn 

things around and start focusing on things that we have talked about to shoot lower, we are an average team that will stay home during State golf. Putting and chipping is why we haven’t improved our scores.”

The Garner-Hayfield/Ventura girls golf team hosted North Iowa on Monday, May 5.  Despite the Cardinals beating North Iowa, 218 to 237, Coach Todd Greiman was not happy with his team’s performance.

“I was very disappointed to see us finish with our worst score of the season on the nicest day to play,” said Greiman.  “It seemed that there were a lot of things going wrong with everyone’s game and we found ourselves getting penalty strokes that we usually don’t have.”
