District results

Junior Brendan Lindsay and sophomore Tyler Ward qualified for sectionals! Both shot an 85 at Aberdeen to make the cut by two strokes. Adam Basler missed by one stroke, and Christian Willis and Jacob Weis carded an 89 to miss by two strokes. In other words, the Fox squad missed sending their entire team to sectionals by just a few strokes. The team scored a 347 to come in 7th place. Both results are the best Fox has done in many years. The team dropped an 89 in determining their score, which will have to be researched to find out the last time we dropped a score in the 80's. Brendan and Tyler will now start preparing for sectionals at Crown Pointe on Monday. Pictured below are the sectional qualifiers and our team score sheet.

Golf banquet Thursday May 9th

Golfers need to stop by Coach Boyd or Coach Schwalbe's room to get information about the golf banquet. Responses are needed by this Friday. Payment can be made at the banquet, but we need a head count by the end of this week. Thanks.

JV at Webster Tournament

The JV team wrapped up their successful 2013 season with a great 4th place showing out of 13 teams at the Webster Groves JV Tournament on Friday. Playing in scramble pairs, team leader Matt Turner and Sam Bekemeier came in 10th place (see pic below). Also below is the team scoresheet. Fox missed out on third place by just two strokes, and beat district rival Seckman by 20 strokes. Another great job by the future of the golf program.

Conference Tourney and Districts

The varsity played their last tourney before districts today at Aberdeen. The team came in 9th, improving upon last year's finish, and were led by Tyler Ward's 88. Christian Willis and Adam Basler improved upon their tourney scores from Saturday as they both shot 89.
The district squad was set after the tournament and will include Christian Willis, Brendan Lindsay, Adam Basler, Tyler Ward, and Jacob Weis.
Pictured below is Tyler looking on as his playing partner putts out on the 9th green.

Mehlville Tournament at Crown Pointe

The lineup for the Mehlville Tournament in Farmington this Saturday is as follows...
Brendan Lindsay
Christian Willis
Adam Basler
Jacob Weis
Tyler Ward
The Farmington Five will have an optional driving range practice tomorrow (Friday) right after school.  If you want to ride with me in the school van to the range let me know during the school day.  I will meet whoever needs a ride at the golf closet right after school, and I will drop you back off at school around 4pm.  Since this is an optional practice you may drive yourself to the range.  I will be at the range around 240pm.
For Saturday, the Farmington Five need to be at school and in the van at 6am.  Coaches meeting is at 715am and you will tee off at 8am.  You will get a range token when we get there, and lunch is provided.  We usually get back from this tournament around 4-5pm.  Notice the forecast for Saturday- high of around 55.  Wear more layers than you need.  You can always take a layer off if you get too warm.  Bring a stocking cap.  It's usually very windy at this course.  Also, an extra pair, or two, of socks may be a good idea because it's probably still going to be wet.  Pics and results will be posted Saturday night.

4th Annual Fox JV Tournament cancelled

We had to cancel the JV tournament this morning due to the severe weather conditions.  This will change some things with our banquet on Thursday, May 9th.  In the past, the funds from the JV tournament has helped cover some of the trophies, medals, and awards we hand out at the banquet, as well as defray some of the food costs.  Golfers will be getting information about the golf banquet next week.  The cost will be slightly more than in years past so that we may continue our traditions.  Thanks in advance for understanding.

3rd place Pattonville Open

A split-squad from Fox, led by Coach Schwalbe, finished third at the Pattonville Open today at Tapawingo National Golf Club.  Brendan Lindsay shot an 85 individually for the Warriors.  The two scramble teams did great as Adam Basler and Cameron Jarvis fired a 74 and the team of Matt Turner and Tyler Ward carded an 81.  The three scores put them just behind Washington and Eureka, and in front of fourth place Lafayette.  Pictured below, from left to right, is Cameron Jarvis, Adam Basler, Brendan Lindsay, Tyler Ward, and Matt Turner.  Great job guys!

JV vs Ladue

Coach Schwalbe and the JV squad continued their winning ways by notching their third win in a row.  Under less than ideal conditions, the Warriors topped Ladue 286-306.  Matt Turner was the medalist with a 45 and will be joining the varsity squad for their tri-match next Tuesday.  Alec Stirnemann followed up his medalist performance yesterday with a 46 against the Rams.  Chandler Sykes and Jordan Bratton both contributed with a 47.  Coach Schwalbe takes a split squad to the Pattonville tournament on Wednesday, and we're all keeping our fingers crossed that we are able to get the 4th Annual Fox JV Tournament played on Thursday.  Pictured below are some of the spectators of the Fox-Ladue JV match.

JV wins Tri-Match

The JV squad traveled to RiverLakes GC in Illinois and came back with two victories. The team showed what the future holds for Fox golf when they beat Mehlville and Northwest. Freshman Alec Stirnemann was the medalist with a score of 40. Matt Turner carded a 41, and Sam Bekemeier chipped in with 44. Rounding out the match scores were Jordan Bratton with a 46 and Cameron Jarvis with a 49. The winning score was Fox 220 Mehlville 238 Northwest 240. Congratulations to Coach Schwalbe and the JV golfers. Pictured below is sophomore Sam Bekemeier.

Varsity vs Northwest

Christian Willis put his name in the Fox record book this afternoon when he became one of three Fox golfers since 2000 to shoot under par in a match. It has only happened a few times in the 29 year history of Fox golf. Christian had one bogey and two birdies at House Springs GC and came in -1(one under). He was the medalist, and Brendan Lindsay shot 41 and Tyler Ward carded 43. The Warriors shot a season low 259 and came up short as the Lions had 248. Pictured below is Christian Willis after having turned in his scorecard.

Varsity vs Marquette

The Warriors continued their long week by traveling back to The Landings at Spirit to take on the Marquette Mustangs, and Fox stepped up with a good performance under tough conditions.

Jacob Weis recovered nicely from a rough Wednesday by firing a 43, and Christian Willis had a 45. Basler and Ward both shot 46. Sykes and Francik followed with 47s. Fox ends their longest week with a match Friday versus Northwest. Pictured below is Chandler Sykes setting up his par putt.

The varsity squad traveled to Raintree GC in Hillsboro and flashed some impressive individual performances. The team came in 4th place while Nick Brendel finished 4th individually with an 85. Tony Francik shot an 86 for 6th overall and Christian Willis' 89 was good enough for 8th. The best ball duo of Francik and Brendel came in 2nd among best ball teams. Pictured below, from left to right, are Nick Brendel, Tony Francik, and Christian Willis.
