Auburn golfer Meg Cahill tees off on the sixth hole at Lakeview Golf and Country Club during Tuesday afternoon's match against West Genesee.
That was the case for the Auburn girls team at Lakeview Golf and Country Club as the Maroons lost 209-214 to West Genesee Tuesday. Meg Cahill stayed in a familiar spot as the medalist of the event with a 42.
“I played decent today,” Cahill said. “The score was great, but the play wasn't.”
Cristina Camardo also shot well for Auburn but a penalty cost her a couple strokes. With her first putt on the green, she hit her opponent's ball which in rule is a two-stroke penalty. Despite the two strokes, Camardo still turned in a solid 51.
“After those two strokes the score was OK,” Camardo said. “I was very was disappointed in my round today about my penalty. It's something I want to forget about forever - wipe it from my memory.”
Camardo didn't let the mishap get to her mentally, as she was able to bounce and post some good scores.
“I was able to rebound on some of my bad holes today.” Camardo said.
Marisa Ranieri finished the day with a 59 and Mindy Fowler shot a 62. Virginia Porten and Katherine Tonzi both shot a 65.
“They didn't play their best rounds today,” Maroons coach Donna Goddard said. “It was a close match which we expected, but unfortunately we came out on the wrong end of the side. The girls will rebound from this. We'll be back.”
Goddard believes this close loss could pay off for the Maroons in the long run.
“I tell them it takes six kids to win and not one,” Goddard said. “I feel that sometimes close matches help your team improve.”
Cahill was impressed with her short game and putting. She would like to work on getting the ball into play, while Camardo wants to work on consistency.
The Maroons are pleased to know that they will have Cahill on their roster for one more year.
“It's always nice to know you have your strongest player in the lineup,” Goddard said. “It gives her teammates the drive to play just as well as her.”
Cahill and Camardo have each qualified for the Section III Championships and now wait to see if the team can qualify. All the Maroons have to do is finish with a .500 record or better. Auburn (4-3 overall, 1-2 league) can work on that at Liverpool Thursday.
“We will get back on the course tomorrow and practice,” Goddard said. “They'll come back.”
