prep golf: August 2008 Archives

It was kind of an eye-opener last week when our area boys golfers pretty much went bust when facing the state's top teen players in the Chick Evans Junior Amateur Championship. In a field of more than 100, only 2 finished in the top 32 to qualify for match play, and those two went out in the first round when match play started. Seems like the southeast corner fo the county should be a hotbed for the state's best prep golfers Then, looked it up and saw that our area has produced only two (Lake Forest both times) team state champs in the sport in the last 35 years. For some reason, it felt like we were cranking out par-fect golfers on a regular basis. Apparently not. Question is: How come?
