Varsity Team Meeting Minutes
On Tuesday, April 21, the varsity boys golf team had a meeting to discuss summer golf opportunities and golf for the fall of 2015 season.
During this meeting, summer golf opportunities such as the MCJGA tournament series, discounted rates at Nippersink and setting up lessons with the Terra Cotta Golf academy were discussed. Also during this meeting I informed the boys that I would be stepping down as the Varsity Boys' Golf coach for next season due to personal reasons, however, I would still be available for any golf / school / or life help that was needed. I also informed the group that I was hoping to continue helping the team in a smaller capacity if it was OK with the new coach.
Meeting was adjourned at 2:28PM.

IHSA Sectionals @ Stonewall Orchard - Monday, October 13, 2014
Well, after 8 hours at the golf course, we are heading back tomorrow. A little rain, a little thunder and lightning and then a lot more rain caused the sectional tournament to suspend play. We will tee it up again at 9AM on Tuesday.

JHS - IHSA Regionals @ White Deer Run - Tuesday, October 7, 2014
The Skyhawks competed in the IHSA Regionals today at White Deer Run in Vernon Hills. Jake Doherty's day started off really, really poorly with a quintuple bogey 9 on the opening par 4. Jake kept grinding and shot a 47 for his front nine. He then dialed it up on his back nine, shooting a 39 and becoming the 13th Johnsburg Skyhawk to qualify for the IHSA Sectionals. Jake will play next Monday at Stonewall Orchard.

Sophomore Grant Fisher was the low man for Johnsburg with an 85 and senior Colin Wotring played 17 of the best holes of his career coming in next with an 89.
Upcoming for the Skyhawks: Saturday at Antioch for the varsity squad and at Swanhills in Belvidere for the JV. Next Tuesday, the varsity Hawks begin their state tournament at White Deer Run in Vernon Hills.
