Outlaws golfers show some game in multi-course run

The Outlaw Boys Golf team travelled to Bend Golf Club, on April 15, and for the first time in four years were able to post a team score with four players. Devin Coverdale carded a 94, Carson Bell 97, Weslee Owens 110, and Dillon Luddy shot a 111, for a team total of 412.

On April 1, the Outlaws played at Awbrey Glen with the same four players and really improved with a team total of 378. Coverdale and Bell both had rounds of 80, Owens 105, and Luddy 113.

"Devin has been on the team for four years, and this is his best competitive round ever," said Coach Bill Mitchell. "Carson is new this year but obviously has some game. This finished a three-course run of Broken Top, Bend Golf Club, and Awbrey Glen, and I tell the kids we are so lucky to be able to play some of the best courses in the state here in Central Oregon."

On April 24, the team played in La Pine at Quail Run, a course with an elevation of over 4,000 feet and just a little west of Newberry Caldera.

"We also had Trent Gordon join us, so we were finally a legitimate five-person team. In Oregon high school golf, you are allowed to play five kids, and count the lowest four for your team total. Devin continued his great play with an 83, Trent 93, Dillon 106, and Weslee 111, giving us a team total of 393. Ironically, Carson had to withdraw with a wrist injury."

Districts are next in Florence, where the Outlaws play Florence Golf Links, formerly Sandpines, on May 6 and 7.
