MHHS Lady Mustangs Golf won their first contest this year vs. the Patriots. Coach Grant Davis tells the story the best:
"The 1st ever COVID-19 Open was held in Modesto yesterday and it was just thrilling as you would have thought! The Patriots of Beyer came out with both Clubs Blasting and jumped to an early lead in their 4 person initial pairing. In the next group Senior Lia Hernandez who was playing in just her 1st ever tournament was drilling her drives down the fairway and posted the best ever 1st time player round, BUT it was the final pairing where I* strategically place the 'red hot' Sofia Thrower who would fire a best ever final round that took the Mighty Mustangs from a 6 shot deficit to a 15 shot Victory(for those of you not Math teachers, this is a 21 shot swing). Attached are actual pictures of Sofia's Golf Balls, one White ball so hot it literally melted as it reached terminal velocity in the air, the other Orange ball hit so hard that it came apart as it was hit off the club head. What was most impressive on the day was the way the Lady Mustang Duffers* handled Victory by quietly congratulating each other and not making an unsportsmanlike display of enthusiasm (think NFL player making a Sack on the Quarterback).
We will be back in action next week Tuesday & Thursday.
*Golf Coaching Genius
*a person experienced at something, especially at playing golf"
Congratulations Lady Mustangs Golf!
