Back-To-Back Cart Path-Aided Aces; And They Still Didn't Make The Varsity Squad
/Tyler Mason with the positively nutty tale of Fargo Davies freshmen tryout golfers Brandon Winter and Collin Larson making back to back aces with the help of a cart path. Either way, congrats to the lads, even if they didn't make the varsity team. There's always next year. And the story explains why the path is not as horribly placed as the photo makes it look.
"We were kind of all in shock, to be honest with you," said Steve Kennedy, the Fargo Davies coach who has been coaching golf for 22 years. "It was kind of just a fluke."
The fourth hole at Rose Creek currently is using a second green, since the normal green can become flooded in the spring, said Matt Cook, the course's PGA professional. So Winter, Larson and the rest of the golfers were hitting at the second green on that day.
"It's an actual green, so I wouldn't necessarily call it temporary," Cook said. "It's a fairly simple hole. Not a really big green, but there is a cart path that meanders along, then kind of wraps down below the two greens. I don't think either of them hit terrific shots going into it. Just kind of experienced a little bit of luck as it ricocheted off the cart path."
