SPHS Golf Team Goes to 5 and 1
Needing a 600% winning record to qualify for the state tournament, the Tigers feel confident on their chances of qualifying.
On Monday the golf team traveled to Warrenbrook where a strong Watchung Hills Team knocked them off. Even with
Brad Martin's even par 36, the well-balanced Watchung Hills team won 201-214.
On Tuesday the Tigers went to Colonia Country Club and knocked off the undefeated Colonia High School
team 185-189. This course has been a tough course for the Tigers for many years. This win leaves only South Plainfield undefeated in their division of the GMC.
Wednesday the Tigers traveled to Quailbrook and lost to a good Franklin Township team, 210-200. This is the
first time Franklin Township beat South Plainfield since Kavka's tenure as coach.
 Thursday the team went to Tara Greens where Piscataway and New Brunswick fell to the Tigers, 163-183 and 163-209. This time
Rich Szeliga led the team with a 3-over par for 39. Rich has shown a lot of improvement and is expected to help win more matches.
On Friday and with great weather, the Tigers lost a close one to Group #4 Power South Brunswick, 162
-156. Everyone on the team had a good score; low score was turned in by Vinnie Padula, shooting a 2-over par 38.
This week the Tigers played two conference foes on Monday at The West Nine. Coach Kavka felt
confident that they would win both matches.
Next on the agenda for the Tiger Golf Team is the annual trip to Myrtle Beach for spring break. Each year
the fathers and team members play golf at the premier golf destination in America. The fathers look forward to the trip, just as much as the team members.
