Bethel’s Golf Teams Find Them­selves in Florida

PALM COAST, FL – Bethel’s golf teams made it to na­tion­als and spent the du­ra­tion of the com­pe­ti­tion in sunny, scorch­ing Palm Beach, Florida. Both the men’s and wom­en’s teams played ex­tremely well to make it that far, and they con­tin­ued to play their best through­out. 

The first day of the com­pe­ti­tion was on Oct. 21. The men’s team placed ninth of nine teams but had an av­er­age score of roughly 85 points for round one. Round two, Oct. 22, saw the men in ninth place with an av­er­age of 87 points. The third and fi­nal day of the tour­na­ment saw the men’s team with an av­er­age of 86 points, again in last place. Though they may not have come home with a tro­phy, all the Pi­lot boys are back in In­di­ana. 

For the wom­en’s team, the com­pe­ti­tion was a lit­tle more fruit­ful. On day one, the wom­en’s team placed fifth with an av­er­age of 92 points. They placed fifth again on day two with an av­er­age 92 points. Fi­nally, on day three, the women placed in fourth place with an av­er­age of 91 points. Of all the nine teams, the wom­en’s team placed fifth over­all, but they did ex­cel­lent work to make it this far and de­serve all the praise that they get. 

Once again, no mat­ter where they placed, Bethel Uni­ver­sity should be proud of both of their golf teams and treat them with the ut­most re­spect and ap­pre­ci­a­tion for the praise-wor­thy job they did rep­re­sent­ing the Pi­lots at home!
