McCarthy Plays Junior Golf Tournaments

February 08, 2021

SGS 11th grader Patrick McCarthy played in junior golf tournaments in Texas and Arizona in January.  The weekend of Jan. 23-24 he played a two-day tournament at Trails of Frisco Golf Club, finishing 14th out of 45 players.  He had seven birdies, reports SGS golf coach Brad Kirsch, "shooting 80-77 on a course that is 7,000 yards in length, which is crazy long for his age group."  The following weekend he played a Junior Golf Association of Arizona tournament at Raven Golf Club in Phoenix.  On another long course, he earned his first piece of hardware -- a 3rd place trophy shooting 77-76.  Patrick stayed engaged with his classes through Distance Learning while gaining valuable experience on long courses.  Congratulations, Patrick!
