Matt Smith said he spoke to his high school vice-principal l shortly after noon time and was amazed to find out that the golf match between his Tourtellotte Tigers and the Putnam Clippers was still on.
Indeed it was.
On a day that was not suited for the sport, the top two ECC Small Division teams met at Putnam Country Club and it was to be the home team's day. Putnam, thanks to a 36 by Andrew Senecal and a 38 by Josh Rice, easily knocked off their neighbors to the north.
Interesting side to this match, though, the transformation that Putnam Country Club is going through. The course only has nine holes open as its entire back nine is undergoing a facelift with new tees and a lot less trees than those familiar with the course will remember.
On Tuesday, of course, that facelift also meant a lot more mud on the side of the fairways especially along the first hole.
