Golf - April 14
On Wednesday, the Sleepy Hollow varsity golf team notched its third win of the season to improve its record to 3-3. The Horsemen hosted Valhalla in a non-league match. Although the weather was perfect for golf, the aerated greens made putting difficult. The low round was shot by freshmen Jack Bender – his consistent drives, accurate wedge shots, and solid putting always put him in contention for low scores. Captain Jimmy Bender who has been crushing his drives lately struggled with his putting and birdied the ninth hole to shoot a 44. Jack Schnog continued his solid play by shooting a 53. Marlee Carayol rebounded nicely following a brutal round on Monday to shoot a 48 on the lower course.
