I was very encouraged with how we played today. That was our best balance of the season. We had all five guys within three strokes. I think all of our practice is paying off. This was our best total effort of the season.

We need our seniors to kick it into gear one of these days. But those guys are working hard and doing what they have to do to get better. Unfortunately, their scores don't show it right now. But they'll get better.

West Bend West is the newcomer in the conference race this year. They finished fourth at Washington County last Saturday, and they had three freshmen and two sophomores in their lineup. So the conference race won't be easy.

The key for us right now is probably the weather. We just need to get out and play. Some of the younger guys have to get used to playing varsity golf. We need some short-game work right now. I thought the guys hit the ball pretty well last Saturday, but we gave a few strokes away around the greens.

Taylor just keeps playing well for us, meet after meet. Even though he's a freshman, he's played a lot of tournament golf in the summer. He does his job every meet and doesn't get nervous. His tournament experience has helped him a lot already this season.

Taylor is playing steady golf for us right now, and that's good. He's averaging right around 40 after three meets, and he's still learning how high school golf works. He's learning as he goes, and still playing well.

We've got some varsity spots still up for grabs. Nothing is set right now. The guys who play the best will make the lineup.

This performance today reminded me a lot of last year's team when we had five guys playing well most of the time. Plus, with this kind of consistency, if one guy is struggling, the other four will be there to pick him up.
