Tumwater Bests Tigers in Rain-Shortened Match



Centralia and Tumwater only managed to get six holes in due to rainy, windy weather on Wednesday, with the Thunderbirds picking up a 37-5 win in Evergreen 2A Conference girls golf action at Chehalis’ Riverside Golf Course.

“It was a hard day to play, and our kids are all beginning golfers, so to have a good hole for a lot of them and score a point was positive,” Centralia coach Hal Gronseth said. “We just have to keep getting better and they did. They left the course feeling like they hit the ball better than they did a week ago.”

The match was scored using a modified Stableford scoring system, which rewards players with points based on their score in relation to par.

Ricky Hull-Camacho notched 2 points to pace Centralia.

Julia Westberg and Mykenzee Gleizes each had 9 for Tumwater.

Centralia is back at Riverside on Monday, hosting Aberdeen in another league match.
