The Oconto Falls High School girls golf team finished tied with Seymour for seventh place at Thursday’s Bay Conference match at Shawano Lake Golf Course.
Denmark (191) and Marinette tied for first at the meet. Oconto Falls finished with a season-best 220 points.
“We’re chopping strokes off every time we go out,” Oconto Falls coach Paul Luebke said, “which is nice.”
Oconto Falls was led by Liz Coopman, who shot a 53. Julie Moore shot a 54, Amanda Blazer 55, Bridget Gorman 58 and Brittany Russell 66.
“Each girl had two bad holes,” Luebke said. “If we can start to clean up our mistakes and our three- or four-putt here and there, they can easily, each of them, take about three or four strokes off their score.”
The bad holes were part of playing a course like Shawano Lake, according to the coach.
“A couple of the holes are fairly tricky,” he said. “If you don’t make a good shot, it’s going to make you pay. It’s going to penalize you.”
The medalist was Luxemburg-Casco’s Catarina Wurflova, who shot a three-over par 39.
Luebke said his team’s putting and driving have improved a lot since the season began.
“They’re getting confident in their shots,” Luebke said. “Earlier in the year, they weren’t confident enough. I’m starting to see a little bit more confidence in their games.”
