Jay Green is looking forward to his senior year with the Alma boys golf team, and the Panthers are looking forward to seeing Green perform on the course for what he expects to be his best season.
It’s his fourth varsity season and he has given early indication it would be a great one after breaking a school record for nine holes with a 30.
Green hopes to average around 72 for 18 holes. He wants to improve his putting.
“I had around a 75 average last year,” he said. “I think three strokes (average) is very easy to do.”
The lowest scores in his high school career coming into this season was 34 for nine holes last year and 70 for 18. Green was confident he could beat those scores this season during a match and he wasted little time for nine holes.
In mid-April, Green shot a 5-under-par 30 at Twin Brooks Golf Course in Chesaning in a TVC Central Jamboree. It was one of his first four matches―two 18-hole and two 9-hole– that he had played through April 22.
