Our team did not play especially well this year, after an awesome season the prior year. Our best known golfer was Palmer Jackson but most consistent golfer was a freshman Nate Stevens. His stroke play average was 71.47.
This year's team could be much better. Jackson and Stevens are both back and we have 3 talented freshman. One of the freshmen, Jacob Modleski is the Indiana Junior Champion and has qualified twice for the U.S. Junior Amateur. This year he qualified for match play and lost in the round of 32 on the 19th hole. Well he's now playing in the U. S Men's Amateur. There are two days of stroke play before match play. Out of 300 participants, 64 qualify for match play. First round Jacob shot 75 with a triple bogey on the final whole. He came through today with a 5 under 67. He's -1 for the two days. The cut is predicted to be +1. He should make it. Darn good for an 18 year old kid. If interested, here is a link https://championships.usga.org/usamateur/2023/scoring.html
