The Season is underway!

The MD Golf Team's first match was a nail biter. Our golfers represented themselves, our team, and Shorecrest wonderfully on Wednesday 9/21/11. Shorecrest placed second by only one shot scoring 131 as a team, while first place shot 130. We played very well top to bottom and are poised for a very fun and exciting season. The golfer of the match was Eighth Grader Brian K. who recorded an even par round of 27. Sixth Grader Luke K. made an impressive debut for Shorecrest shooting the second best score of the day a 32. The other two contributing scores were shot by Matt D. 35, and we had a three-way tie for the final score of 37 (Chris J., Casey C., and Will T.) We look forward to our next match on Wednesday 9/28/11 at Cypress Links.

Club Storage & Pick Up Info

Hello,

We have a come up with a plan concerning club storage for the MD Golf Team. As you pull through car line in the morning you will continue all the way around the back of the school and just past the maintenance building. Our bus #22 (white bus) will be unlocked at the rear door. Please pull your vehicle near to the bus and make sure your golfer stacks his or her clubs, shoes and other golf equipment in either of the back two rows of seats neatly. We will have our maintenance staff there to assist your child in crossing the street safely. Immediately after school your golfer will meet Coach Every on the sidewalk between the new 7th & 8th building and the Sher Center, near the breezeway. Pick up will be at Cypress Links @ 5:10 during the tryout period. This time is approximate, due to the number of golfers trying out and the speed of play on the course. I thank you for your patience in advance. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Golf essentials to be provided by parents:
Sun Protection
Water bottle to fill up or money to purchase from the proshop
Small snack (if desired)
Golf clubs, ball, tees etc.
Proper golf attire or school uniform

2010 Season Ending Individual Tournament

Our MD golf team played wonderfully in our season ending individual tournament. Seventy middle school golfers participated in the tournament held at Twin Brooks Golf Course on Wednesday October 27, 2010. Shorecrest had an excellent showing with three golfers finishing within one shot of the winning score. Two separate playoffs were needed to decide first and third places. Our team had two individuals Brian K. and Jonathan C. competing in the third place tiebreaker. The two-hole playoff was as exciting as it could be but eventually concluded when the St. Raphael’s golfer taking third place outright. Top to bottom we had our best showing with our highest individual score only being 42.

Shorecrest ended up placing fourth behind some very good competition this year, despite earning the second lowest scoring total of all the teams. The First Tee of St. Petersburg gave out two awards. Brian K. received the team MVP Award and Sabrina M. earned the Best Attitude Award. Coach Every is so proud of our Chargers. The team displayed the perfect balance of hard work, winning the right way and fun on and off of the golf course. He looks forward to an equally fantastic season next year.
