MHS Golf Team Gearing Up [VIDEO]

's golf team looked ready to go Thursday afternoon as they teed up for their first practice of the season at the Dilisio Brothers Golf Range in Salem.

The varsity team will be under the supervision of coach Jim Keating, who is returning for his fifth year of leading the club; his wife Sheila is in charge of the school's junior varsity team.

Marblehead finished with a 9-3 record in 2010 and coach Keating said he is excited about the potential his 2011 squad possesses.

“We’re especially strong at the top with Pete (Cormier) and Andrew (Scholnick)," Keating said. “If we get consistent play in the middle and the back end, we’ll do just fine.”

Keating said he was particularly pleased to see so many students opting to try out for the team this year.

“We’ve really only got 12 spots on the varsity team and to have all these players coming out looking for a spot is a credit to the kids,” Keating said.

Marblehead opens up the regular season against the Danvers Falcons on Sept. 6 at the Ferncroft Country Club and co-captain Pete Cormier said he will be ready to go.

“I’m really glad to get going, it’s great to start hitting again,” Cormier said. “We did well last year, but I really think we can go much farther this year.”

Team members include: Jake Minigiello, James Doughman, Sam White, Matt DiCenso, Trevor Jones, Alex Rothbard, Brian Nuemann, Jon Suydam, Matt Scholnick, Sam Whitmore, Chris Cormier, Connor Green, Pitch Riley, Charlie Thompson, Kyle Maulolen, Eric Lundgren, Doug Levine, Will Vigneron, Matt Lieberson, Paul Himes, Aaron Rothbard, Griffin Butterfield, Tyler Smith, Bryan Cohn, Jake Hempel and Jesse Cohan.
