King tides and strong rains may have significantly impacted teams’ practice schedules, but Keys golfers still fared well in their latest match.
On Oct. 15, athletes met in Key West for nine holes of friendly competition. Coral Shores’ Scout Oliver finished three strokes ahead of Key West’s Jakub Krytinar for the win. Oliver shot a 38 to finish three above par. Marathon’s Cullen Coleman-Sayer and Emmett Merryman turned in scorecards with 43 to share third place. Key West’s Geo Twyman and Ty Hill tied at 45 to share fifth. Coral Shores’ Dylan Lindmar plus Marathon’s Max Childress, Luca Picariello and Roco Piscetello rounded out the top 10 in last week’s meetup. In team standings, Marathon edged out Key West for the win, 189-190.
The Lady Conchs’ trio of Mary Alice Davila, Lexi Finigan and Claudia Steling swept the top spots in the girls competition. Davila shot a 50 while Finigan finished at 52 and Steling scored a 54. Makenna Haines and Justice Lee Isom, both of Marathon, finished fourth and fifth.
Next up for Keys teams are their district championships. Marathon tees off Oct. 28 at Key Biscayne’s Crandon Golf Course while Key West and Coral Shores play at Redlands Golf and Country Club the same day.
