Marcus Finishes 3rd at Easterns; Team Takes Second in 4-Man and Wins 3-Man

June 8, 9 ,10, 2009

Senior Mike Marcus capped his high school golfing career with his best showing ever by shooting 76 - 72 = 145 to take third place in the rain shortened Eastern Prep School tournament at Wintonbury Hills Golf Course in West Hartford, CT.
Congratulations to Mike Marcus, Chris Brown, Tom Horton, and Nate Cohan who won the 3-man portion of the 93rd Easterns (The Frank Heyniger Bowl). This is the oldest interscholastic golf tournament in the country.
Kudos especially to Mike who finished strong despite starting the tournament with a quad on the very first hole! He was even par for 35 of 36 holes! His 72 on the second day tied for the second low round of the whole field, which was shortened by a day because of lightning and rain. Mike's finish earned him All-Eastern honors.
Chris also did very well considering he hadn't played for most of the spring. He shot 79-75= 154 - good for a tie for 8th. Tom shot 82-79 = 161 for 16th and Nate posted 82-80=162 for 17th.
The three man total of 464 topped Avon Old Farms by three shots.
In the four man Horace Taft Cup Brunswick swept to a 28 stroke victory with an impressive (304-293=597). We finished second despite improving by thirteen strokes on the second day (319-306=625). We beat out Avon (637), Loomis Chaffee (666), Williston (679), Northfield Mount Hermon (679), and Choate (685).
