PLYMOUTH - Last night the Norwich Purple Tornado Golf team took on Windsor in a home match and won handily, 201-222.
The low score of the match was registered by Norwich junior Ryan Johnson who shot a 36 on the day; finishing with two birdies and two bogeys. Johnson is one of the most consistent members on the Norwich team and almost always finishes in the top three for the Purple Tornado. Right behind Johnson was Alex Gage with a 37. Just like Johnson, Gage always seems to be one of the top players for the Norwich team. Rounding out the group for Norwich were Nate Scheer with a 40, Brennan Maynard with a 43, and Connor Nial with a 45. The Norwich golfers have been a consistent bunch this season as the young team posts many of the same numbers match after match.
For Windsor Tim Mills had the low score of the day, shooting a 41. The top three of Windsor all finished within three strokes of each other with Tim Bchek scoring a 42 and Josh Goetz finishing with a 44.
Norwich is now 4-4 in league play and 5-4 on the season. They will play again Monday, September, 21, when they travel to Chenango Forks.
