The Sport That Ends As School Starts
Golf season is already over.
October 16, 2014
One of the first Fall Sports is already done: GOLF!
Wakefield’s Golf team has seen dramatic improvement in the past few years. This is in part due to the dynamic coaches: Greenfield and Chauvenet. When asked about this years’ golf results, Chauvenet said, “we have a really young team and this is the closest we’ve ever come to making Regionals.” They missed Regionals by 11 shots (which is about 1%). Three players made it to Regionals individually: Matt Westrick, Jake Karton, and Marin Pena.
What is the best part? “The time you play the best you’ve ever played” said golfer Matt Westrick. According to Westrick, the most frustrating part about golf is when you’re, “halfway through a round and you mess up.”
Coach Chauvenet and Coach Greenfield work together to make their team a success. Golf requires a lot of skill. Thinking about joining next season? Player Sean Kelly said, “ I wish I started golf a lot earlier.” Player Brian Henry said “It’s the most fun sport out of all the sports.” Coach Chauvenet talked about what it takes to be on the team; people need to be calm and even tempered. Solid hand-eye coordination and persistence are also essential skills.
He also stated that “in order to be good, you have to be consistent. Patience is the key.”

Playing on high school golf team was really fun. I got to meet new team mates. The coaches were really nice. I was the ONLY girl who played in the Regional individually. Jake was the only one I did not know because he was not on the team when I first saw the whole team when I was in 8th grade. My friends on the golf team are Matt W, Matt T, Noah, Jake, Ishan, Blake, Sean, Brian, Matthew, Daniel and Jordan and Anna and Emily. It was really fun playing with all of this people! GOLF IS A REALLY FUN SPORT AND I KNOW THAT GIRLS CAN ALSO PLAY GOLF TOO!
