<<< Previous Simonson Invitational | Boys Golf Schedule | Next Aviator Golf Classic >>>

The Louisville Leopards Boys Golf Team competed at the Jackson Polar Bear Invitational Monday at Shady Hollow Country Club. The Leopards took 10 shots off their score from last Thursday at the Simonson Invitational to finish tied with the Marlington Dukes with a team total of 335.  Marlington won the tie-breaker and Louisville placed 14th out of 20 teams as a result.

Mayle Posts 2nd Consecutive 80

Sophomore Jack Mayle finished with a team low 80 matching his total from the Simonson Invitational last Thursday. Despite leading LHS again in their second straight tournament, Mayle wasn’t satisfied:

“Jack Mayle came in with his 2nd consecutive 80 and was less than thrilled about his finish. Never satisfied, I like it!”

– Head Coach Mike McFerren

Root and Miller Notch Competitive Lows

Louisville also scored competitive lows from sophomore Zach Root who shot 81 and sophomore Cole Miller who carded 84. Root came in with 25 putts on the round, one off the all-time 18-hole low for Leopards golf held by Caleb Prasco.

Junior Sam Karcher also tallied a 90 to round out the LHS scoring.

Hoban Edges St. Ignatius to Win Tournament

The Akron Archbishop Hoban Knights shot 291 as a team finishing only 2 strokes ahead of tournament runner-up Cleveland St. Ignatius Wildcats who posted a team total of 293. The Cincinnati St. Xavier Bombers (300) took third, the Pickering North Panthers (302) placed fourth, and the host Jackson Polar Bears (310) claimed fifth against a field of 20 teams that featured some of the most prestigious programs across the state.

“What an amazing field! Kudos to Coach Kish, Jackson Golf, and Shady Hollow Country Club.”

-Head Coach Mike McFerren

Leopards Stay Hungry Following Polar Bear Invite

Despite besting their total from a week ago and all of last year, these Leopards are far from satisfied: 

“The theme of the post round discussions was HUNGER! Not just hungry for the tasty meal at Shady, but hungry to improve. The improvements from last year to this year are immense. No more excuse making, no more reflecting on bad breaks and ‘coulda shoulda wouldas’…they talk about what they can work on, how the next round is going to be even better. They talk about taking each other out to work on their games.

The best part is we get to tee it up tomorrow on another beautiful golf course (Alliance Country Club) and see if we can keep the ship headed in the right direction. There will be bumps, but these boys are a blast to be around. They are truly becoming a team.

How lucky am I to get to hang out with good kids, get to watch them develop themselves in the game I love, and get to see some of the most beautiful courses in our area?”

– Head Coach Mike McFerren

UP NEXT: The Leopards will next compete at the Alliance Invitational on Tuesday, August 10. Tournament is set to start at 9:00 AM from Alliance Country Club.
