TJ boys’ golf went to the Regional tournament on Tuesday, September 29th and came away with a respectable showing. “It’s been a good season. We have a young team, and there’s been a lot of improvement,” said Head Coach Stacey Fornstrom. “We’ve got a good group of kids, it’s fun to go to tournaments, it’s fun to see the guys improve. Those are the things I enjoy.”
Thomas Jefferson took 8th overall in the regional tournament. Unfortunately, the season is over for most of the Spartan Golfers, with the exception of Kyle Freeland. Kyle qualified for state in the regional tournament yesterday with a score of 77. “He’s been more consistent than he was last year. He’s had some better rounds than he had last year, but he’s also had some worse rounds. His next step is to work on having consistently really good rounds,” said Coach Stacey Fornstrom.
“I just need to stay focused, because I know I’ll be going up against the state’s top players. I’ll just try and do my best,” said Freeland about his first state appearance. Kyle will be playing in the state tournament on October 5th and 6th.
