Golf Team Plays Ashland, Cumberland, and Hayward Invitational
The Cumberland Golf Team dropped a 189-170 contest to Ashland last Tuesday, hosted their own Invitational on Wednesday, and then traveled to Hayward last Friday and Saturday, where they participated in a large field at the 36-hole Scott Miller Invitational.
Weather was a factor in Ashland, where the two teams were limited to a soggy back nine. Derrick Gideo battled the conditions to shoot a solid 41, while Alex Effertz added a 47 and Jack Richter a 48. Overall, Coach Mike Gideo felt the team performed well and credited the JV team with, “Really improving each meet.”
Eleven Teams traveled to the Cumberland/Turtle Lake Invitational last Wednesday, as the two teams hosted an Invitational at the Cumberland Golf Course. “I would also like to thank Bryan Tahtinen the Manager at the Cumberland Golf course, and his staff. The course was in great shape due to the hard work by the grounds crew and they did an amazing job with having the food ready and taking care of the teams as they arrived.,” added Coach Gideo.
Ladysmith shot a 328 to win the meet, followed by Flambeau with a 369. Cumberland took third with a 371. Cumberland’s Derrick Gideo took third overall with an 82, while Alex Effertz shot a 92. Turtle Lake Coach Steve Bergmann was a major help in putting the meet together,” added Gideo.
The Beavers finished up a busy stretch by playing the Hayward Golf Course on Friday and Big Fish on Saturday during the Scott Miller Invite. “There were 24 teams, mostly bigger schools than ours, but we competed well and I was proud of their effort,” added Coach Gideo.
Alex Effertz and Derrick Gideo shot identical 90s on Friday, while Shae Longtine added a 103. On Saturday, Gideo shot an 85 and Effertz an 87 in less than ideal weather. “We need to work on getting to the green in regulation more often, but we are getting better in many phases of the game,” Gideo concluded.
This Friday, local fans can watch the Beavers team take on Ladysmith at the Cumberland Golf Course in a contest starting at 4:00 pm.
