Cody Bronc Golf Underway

THE CODY BRONC GOLFERS HAVE HIT THE TEE BOX FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS YEAR AS THEY OFFICIALLY STARTED PRACTICE ON MONDAY. THE BRONC GOLFERS WILL BE LOOKING TO IMPROVE UPON A 7TH PLACE FINISH AT STATE A YEAR AGO. JAKE KRAFT RETURNS TO THE HELM OF THE GOLF TEAM AND GIVES AN EARLY OUTLOOK INTO THIS YEARS SQUAD.

“AS FAR AS OUR BOYS TEAM, THE NUMBERS ARE RIGHT WHERE THEY SHOULD BE AND POSSIBLY EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS. A LOT OF OUR KIDS HAVE BEEN IN OUR PROGRAM FOR MULTIPLE YEARS AND HAVE HAD SIGNIFICANT TOURNAMENT EXPERIENCE AND WE RETURN QUITE A FEW KIDS WHO COULD HAVE A GREAT IMPACT THIS FALL.”

BRONC GOLF RETURNS THEIR TOP THREE GOLFERS FROM A SEASON AGO. ADD IN SOME NEW BLOOD TO THIS YEAR’S TEAM AND THE SKY’S THE LIMIT.

“VERY CAPABLE, ALL FOUR OF THEM. HUNTER HALL WOULD BE ANOTHER KID THAT WOULD BE IN THE MIX. OF COURSE HE’S A HOME SCHOOL STUDENT WHO’S NEW TO OUR COMMUNITY. HE’LL BE A JUNIOR THIS YEAR I BELIEVE. KIDS WHO HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE, NOT ONLY ON THE GOLF COURSE BUT TOURNAMENT EXPERIENCE WHICH IS VITAL. WE ONLY HAVE SIX WEEKS AND THOSE FOUR GUYS ARE REALLY GOING TO BE THE ONES THAT WE LEAN ON THE MOST. HOPEFULLY THEY’LL SET THE EXAMPLE FOR THE OTHER KIDS WHO ARE COMPETING FOR POSSIBLE JV SPOTS, AT LEAST, EVERY WEEK.”

THE BRONCS WILL BE HITTING THE LINKS FOR THEIR FIRST TOURNAMENT ACTION OF THE SEASON ALREADY AS THEY HOST THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. COACH KRAFT ON THE EXPECTATIONS FOR THIS TOURNAMENT.

“JUST PUTTING A COUPLE OF GOOD SCORES TOGETHER. TRY TO SET THE BAR SOMEWHERE, THEN ACHIEVE GREATER THINGS AS WE MOVE FORWARD. WE’LL ALSO GET TO LOOK AT WORLAND, THEIR BOYS TEAM IS EXTENSIVELY GOOD AND VERY WELL SEASONED. LANDER WILL BRING JAREN WHO’S A STUD AND A PAST CHAMPION. THE FIELD WILL BE HIGHLY COMPETITIVE AND WE’LL GET TO SEE OTHER 3A TEAMS AS WELL.”

COACH GOES ONTO SAY IT’S PRETTY SPECIAL JUST TO GET ON THE COURSE, PLAY AND HOST THE FIRST TOURNEY OF THE SEASON.

“HAVING THE BLESSING BY OUR STATE AND OUR PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICERS IS AWESOME FOR OUR KIDS AND OUR PROGRAM… AND ALL THE PROGRAMS IN THE FALL. THE FACT THAT WE GET TO HOST THE TOURNAMENT THIS FIRST WEEK IS GREAT CAUSE WE DON’T HAVE TO GET ON THE ROAD, WE DON’T HAVE TO BE IN OTHER COMMUNITIES AND DON’T HAVE TO EXTEND OUR FOOTPRINT SO TO SPEAK.”

AND WITH EVERYTHING THAT’S GONE ON WITH COVID, COACH KRAFT SAYS IT’S GREAT TO BE BACK ON THE LINKS WITH FALL SPORTS A GO.

“OH MY GOSH. IT’S BEEN, IT’S BEEN SOME TIME. BETWEEN ONLINE TEACHING IN THE SPRING AND THEN A SUMMER OF UNCERTAINTY, IT’S AWESOME THAT WE HAVE THE BLESSING FROM OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT PARK 6, WHSAA AND OF COURSE OUR LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICER DR. BILLIN. SO WE’RE JUST FORTUNATE THAT OUR KIDS HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY.”

THE CODY BRONC GOLF TEAM AFTER BEGINNING PRACTICE MONDAY HOST THEIR FIRST TOURNAMENTS OF THE SEASON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AT OLIVE GLENN GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB. STAY TUNED TO THE BIG HORN RADIO NETWORK FOR RESULTS.
