Winter weather whips and Gonzaga Wins

Wind gusts were well past the three club type and the only players out this day were high school golfers and a quartet of Georgetown University women practicing. Even hand warmers were little help in combating the frosty temps and hard wind chills. The only thing I saw flying were the jets taking off from National Airport.
The golfers faced an old nemesis in Gonzaga at their home course - Army-Navy Arlington. We played the "white" nine whose greens were just rolled and cut from the winter time. But truly the wind chill numbers that would rival January days stayed well below the best scores posted for either side. And it was hard for all the golfers - save one.
Carter Connelly and Davis Lamb led the scoring for Prep with four-over 40s. Carter struggled on the par 5s where he took double each time. Davis worked throughout the round and just missed a putt on the last hole for a 39.
Brendan Peel posted a 41 despite taking double on holes 2 and 3. Joe Reyes contributed a 42 but he too had a tough time on the par 5s. Jon Carr fought a balky putter most of the round enduring at least one four-putt and a couple of three putts. Mike Jones was four over after the first three holes but a birdie on 8 helped him to keep the damage to a minimum on his way to a 42. Ryan Rogers began well but succumbed and finished with a 44 and Andrew Lundquist's short game just disappeared on his way to a 46.
The low man on the day was Gonzaga's #5 man Sean Webber who bogeyed two of the first four holes but then birdied 6 and 7 to finish at even par. The final score was Gonzaga 196 Prep 205. Next up is Calvert Hall - if the weather holds up.
