The Blue Earth Area Buccaneer boys golf team claim third place
"Connor stepped in for Trevor Zierke who was home ill," coach Armstrong explains. "He competed nicely for not knowing he was even going along until one hour before departure. I am sure he would have wanted his varsity debut to be better, but he now has it out of the way and if ever called upon again, his nerves might be a little better."
Prior Lake won the tournament with a 326, while St. Peter was second with 336. After the Bucs, Bethlehem Academy was fourth with 358, NRHEG came in fifth at 365, Maple River was sixth with 398 and FAIR was seventh at 503.
"Andy made a 10 on his first hole and it spiraled down from there," Coach Travis Armstrong says. "The lesson to be ping g15 irons learned is that you can't let a bad hole ruin their whole day."
Logan Jacobs also had a 91 (43-48) for BEA, and Connor Thielfoldt came in with a 108 (58-50).
"At Jordan he was too aware of his score and realized he was playing well with three holes to play," Armstrong explains. "Those three holes he played five over par and he was dejected. Today I asked him his score with two holes to go and he did not even know."
That put all the Buc golfers under 100 for the first time this year.
The Buccaneer boys golf team was fortunate to play two rounds at the home of the upcoming State Golf Tournament in Jordan.
"We had tee times that kept us out of the majority of the rain over the two days," Coach Travis Armstrong says. "We did not play our best, but that is a tough course with lots of hazards Taylormade Burner 2.0 irons and longer holes than we are used to playing."
Derek Abel had a 90, Zach Curtis a 93 and Slater Peterson a 98, for a team total 359 and an eighth place position.
The second day, Saturday, Aukes again came in with a 78, finishing third overall.
"He had some hazard trouble and dunked a few balls in the pond to top it off," Armstrong says. "But, he did not let it get to him."
Armstrong says Curtis applied what he had learned at Jordan over the weekend to his game at St. James and it made all the difference.
"That was crucial for Derek," Armstrong says. "He learned that is possible to turn in a respectable score with one discount golf clubs really bad hole, if the other 17 are bogeys or better."
"All the guys just need to keep learning these lessons and apply them to future rounds," Armstrong says. "The mechanics of the golf swing are pretty far down on the list of things that will improve your score." BEA 7th at
Curtis struggled to finish with a 90 after playing great in the middle of the second round. Zierke shot a 98 to finish out the Bucs scoring with a 358 for day two.

This week however the 285th ranked player in the world has a two shot lead over 38 year old David Mathis heading into the weekend at the Valero Texas Open in San Antonio.
“If you see me stressing it’s probably over nothing, too. I usually sweat the small stuff and the big stuff I don’t really worry about.
Curtis, who has won a total of three events on the PGA Tour, is playing without full status in 2012 for the first time Callaway Razr X Tour irons since his victory at Royal St Georges and is finding it quite an adjustment.
“Hopefully I can go out there and win and take care of business. But, you know, it’s a little bit more different. You got to adjust to it, you know, mentally but just been — when I’ve been home, trying to practice as much as I can. If I get the call, the Thursday, Friday before, I’m ready to go.”
“But, yeah, you know, just I think being at home, being relaxed, being around people, you know, family, friends that you want to be around make you feel that way is the easiest thing you can do and everybody knows me, knows that I don’t stress about much.
Mathis has yet to win on the PGA Tour but has won twice on the Nationwide Tour. He has however missed ten of eleven cuts this season so his form turnaround is quite startling. He has also missed Ping G20 fairway wood the cut on both previous times to this event so this week is providing hope for him to date.
When asked how he is coping with the transition in status he responded; "I just listen to my wife every day, “It will be fine, it will be fine.” Then you got two young kids running around the house that don’t have a care in the world. So that makes it easier “laughter”.
“Well, I mean, you know, every other year played — since ’03, you know, pretty much had it laid out before the year started and — but this year, you know, the status that I have, I went to Europe for three weeks early in the year, played over there and then just tried to get in some discount golf clubs events over here, you know. Hopefully get in a few more after this week.
First round leader, Matt Every, had two holes to play when darkness brought a halt to proceedings leaving a round 25 players required to finish their second rounds tomorrow. Every was in a share of third position at 7 under and three from the lead.

Jeff Donahue is under investigation
Donahue, who heads the sheriff's force at Avalon that polices California's Catalina, nearby islands and waters, is on medical leave. A communication left in the station seeking comment was not immediately returned Thursday.
Carrillo, 41, was serving two years after pleading guilty to stealing cash and jewelry from people at courses ?a including the World Series ring of Titleist 712 CB Irons former Dodgers catcher Jimmy Campanis. He's got since been released.
He was on the Men's Central Jail in downtown La when his good behavior helped earn him a transfer to sunny Catalina, where he became a trusty.
Word got around that he was a professional golfer in Canada and after meeting Donahue, Carrillo suggested the idea that they play some golf.
I knew it absolutely was a crazy thing to convey, Carrillo, who had been briefly around the Canadian Tour in 2006, told the changing times. But first thing he said was, Maybe I need a number of pointers.
The captain escorted him in a patrol Jeep to some hilltop the game when Carrillo gave him pointers to relieve a double-digit handicap last summer, Carrillo said.
They don't obviously have a Titleist 712 MB irons driving range. It's netting, he explained.
Carrillo believes that this captain taken advantage of his advice. He kind of has this swing that's old-fashioned and risky, but he hits it each and every time, Carrillo said. I could possibly say he's a 14 or 15 handicap. Much less bad.
The Canadian Tour website listed Carrillo's home as Upland, Calif., and said he played in three events in 2006, missing the cut in most three.
The trip proved divisive among deputies at the station, where some had no problem although some think it is illegal, in accordance with Deputy William Cordero. Cordero, who disapproved, filed a discount golf clubs claim contending that other deputies harassed him when he spoke out about the incident. He's got since been transferred.
His claim alleges that Sheriff Lee Baca approved the outing. Carrillo said Baca knew him from charity golf tournaments, spoke to him throughout a tour in the Avalon station and did manage to agree to the golf trip.
