Greensburg Community High School

The Greensburg boys golf team shot a team score of 188 to finish second in a three-way match with Batesville and Franklin County at Hillcrest Country Club on Thursday night. Batesville won the match with a team score of 179. Franklin County shot a 209. Hunter Springmeyer led the way for the Pirates with a 43. Colten Schroeder fired a 47. Abe Tebbe and Parker Philips came home with a 49. "The back nine of Hillcrest Country Club certainly is a tough test of a golf course," head coach Bryce Mize said. "I would even venture to say it's the toughest nine holes we will play all year. That being said, we also simply didn't give ourselves many opportunities tonight. We took way too many putts on the lightning-fast greens and we also had a ton of penalty shots." "We will have to learn from this and figure out how to put ourselves in better situations on difficult courses. We play it again Saturday, so hopefully that learning curve is a quick one. We had a couple of bright spots in a near ace from Brant Acra on No. 10 and a near eagle from Hunter Springmeyer on the closing No. 18." The Pirates are now 33-8 on the season and 5-1 in the EIAC. They return to action on Saturday in the Batesville Invitational at 9 a.m. at Hillcrest.
