Golf finishes fourth at south sectionals, misses qualifying cut

By Allison Goldsmith
I&M Sports Editor

The varsity golf team just missed the cut in the Division III South Sectional Tournament Monday. The Whalers finished fourth out of 10 teams at Dennis Highlands Golf Course, with only the top three teams advancing to the division finals.


“It is frustrating. The kids were looking forward to it, but it wasn’t meant to be,” head coach Peter MacKay said. “They hit the ball well from tee to green, but the greens were tough. They were very uneven. They were very slick and there were a lot of three-, four- and a couple of five-putts. It was tough.”

Nantucket was represented by six golfers and the lowest four contributed to the team’s final score of 347. Bishop Stang finished first at 312, Sacred Heart took second at 332 and Old Rochester finished third, edging out the Whalers at 336.


Bram Daly, who led the Whalers with a team-low 81, missed the cut by just one shot for individuals advancing to the division finals. . . . Read More
