Teeing Off

Golf in the Lower Hudson Valley, from high schools to the pros

Rain, rain, go away

April
29

Today I was supposed to cover a very exciting match between Rye, Brewster and Horace Greeley. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate.

The match, which featured probable Section 1 title contenders Rye and Brewster, was cancelled. The coaches are trying to find a date when they can all get together again, so I’ll keep my fingers crossed.

Rye, the defending Section 1 champs, lost its first match to Rye Country Day, but hasn’t been tested since. Brewster, which lost in the Section 1 Championships last year, is off to a tremendous 10-0 start.

Instead, I covered the Lakeland/Panas vs. Horace Greeley girls lacrosse game. Aside from the wet weather, it turned out to be very exciting, with the Rebels pulling out a 14-13 win on a last minute goal by Caitlin Collins. The game also featured Lakeland standout Chelsea Robinson scoring her 200th career goal.

Tomorrow, it’s back to the links for me (cloudy and in the 50s will have to do following last week’s glorious weather). I will be teeing off with a couple fellow team Journal News members as we continue to take advantage of not having 9-5 jobs…

I’ll be back Wednesday hopefully, to let you know how the Fairchester Athletic Association Championship went. Rye Country Day is the defending champion, but perennial powerhouse Brunswick has already defeted the Wildcats twice this year. The event is being played at Westchester Country Club for the first time, so that could be a slight advantage for the Rye kids that make up most of the RCDS squad. We’ll have to wait and see.
