The week started out horribly for the Sleepy Hollow golf team losing a match against Irvington at Ardsley Country Club by shooting a disappointing 272.   Several of the players were dejected with their performance.  However, the team was able to rebound nicely the very next day when it faced Westlake at Elmwood Country Club.  Although the team lost that match, they improved their total score by twenty strokes.  Sophomore Kelly Bender matched her brother Jimmy Bender’s score of 47 to be the medalists for the team. Senior Ian Hummell who has lowered his score each time out continued the trend and shot a 51.

On Wednesday April 16th at Sleepy Hollow Country Club, the players continued to improve their play and their score.  The team improved on its previous day’s score by nine strokes for a total of 243.  It seemed as if the good weather had brought along good golfing for the players.  Marco Baran, in spite of butchering the first and ninth holes, shot a 46 at Sleepy Hollow Country Club which Senor Collado claimed has the fastest greens he’s ever seen.  Jimmy Bender again matched Marco Baran with a 46.  Seventh grader Jack Bender, playing the upper nine of the Sleepy Hollow course shot a 49.  He is the first player in Sleepy Hollow golfing history to shoot under 50 in his first go-round at the upper course.  Alternates Jack Schnog and Jasmine Taub-Brumley showed promise and are expected to play in future matches.  The golf team faces off against Edgemont on Thursday, April 17th at Sunningdale Country Club.
