Golf: Knights get mulligan but still beat Titans

The Middletown High School Knights Golf team knew that they weren’t going to need a great effort to take down the Tuscarora High School Titans, a team that has struggled this year significantly.

And, in the end it wasn’t a great effort for the Knights as they shot a 176 but still managed to take down the Titans by a score of 176-204.

Just based on scores alone Middletown did not have their best match of the year as in previous matches the Knights had shot into the 150’s and really flexed their muscles as one of the top golf teams in the Central Maryland Conference. Obviously, on the 6^th there wasn’t as much flexing for the Knights, but to use a golf term, everyone needs a mulligan once in a while and the Knights got their mulligan by having a tough match against a team who was easier competition.

The top scorers for Middletown were sophomore Joey Weiland with a 41 as Weiland continues his run by playing some of the most consistent golf for the Knights since the season begun. Following close behind him for Middletown was senior Robbie Houck who put up a 43 and has also been playing all-around, consistent golf for the Knights.

Middletown has been given a mulligan this time but in their next match they face the Linganore High School Lancers and the Knights will need to be sharp if they want to take down the Lancers.

Strangely, the Lancers also struggled in their game on the 6^th against the Walkersville High School Lions meaning that both teams might be saving their strongest golf for the game that really matters.
