Golf-noun: a sport of patience, talent and skill. Arvada’s Golf Team played an amazing season this year. The team also made it to the regional’s competition. “The boys did very well and they all played their best round of the year, and all won foursomes,” said Coach Jeff Wassinger. Every year the team hopes for someone to make it to the state level competition. Wassinger said, “I would love to have boys make it to state. It takes a lot of experience to make it that far. “

  Many people think that golf is an easy sport; it takes a lot of endurance and patience to be out on the course for many hours at a time. The kids not only have to play the game, they have to carry around their own clubs and walk the entire course. “The thing about golf is it seems so easy, but it’s really hard when competing,” said Wassinger. The team took in many inexperienced golfers, many of which were freshmen and sophomores. Wassinger said, “Basically they came and many had never played before. “

  The team started practicing two weeks before the school year began, August 9^th to be exact. They played in three competitions before the first day of school. “We practiced Monday-Thursday, for about 2 hours at Indian Tree Golf Course,” said Wassinger.  Typically, a season can last up to eight weeks, if the team happens to make it to state.  Great job boys golf, next year lets show everyone what were made of and make it to state!
