MV Rams’ golf team took on sectionals on Monday, October 7th. 

With only two qualifying for sectionals, Blake Brown, ‘25 and Xander Ashby, ‘27 prepared the weekend in hopes of taking home the sectional title. 

Both players have shown remarkable dedication throughout the season, making them strong contenders for a sectional title. 

”I have been practicing every opportunity that I get to prepare for this match but also I’ve been preparing since the start of the season, coming into this season the sectional title has been one of my main goals and it’s been something I’ve been striving towards since last season,” stated Brown.

Golf is a sport that can take a quick turn for the worse, it can be difficult at times to not get overwhelmed after hitting a bad shot. 

”It’s so important to not let one bad shot get to you in this sport. One bad shot can ruin a whole match for you if you let it. I think it’s crucially important to just focus on the next shot and not on the end result,” said Ashby.

Golf is all about being consistent and learning from previous mistakes. 

“Golf is a grind. There are numerous ups and downs. It’s important to remember every shot counts and you must stay mentally strong,” said Brown.
