“And another birdie for me!!”
The Everett Herald is wrong.
Which is not a huge surprise, as the Canadian-owned big city paper covers about 12,000 high school sports teams, and gets the facts right on at least 27.4% of its stories.
But, anyway.
Check out the Herald and you’ll believe the medalist at Thursday’s golf match between King’s and South Whidbey, held at the Mill Creek Country Club, was a duffer from the host Everett school.
That, however, would be wrong.
Coupeville High School junior Christine Fields, the lone Wolf at the meet, carded a 53 in modified Stableford scoring over 14 holes, to claim that honor.
She edged out King’s Hannah Roh (51), the presumed (at least by The Herald) champ.
King’s smacked the Falcons 172-152 in team scoring. That part they got right.
UPDATE: Numbers got added wrong and Fields did NOT medal, as first thought. Miss Roh was the rightful medalist.
But, since I am on vacation, since Miss Fields is still awesome, even if she didn’t win on this day, and since The Herald is still often incompetent, we’ll just leave this as it is.
And that’s all I have to say on that…
Coupeville Sports 
If you watch a game, it’s fun. It’s entertainment if you play into it. The first thing golf teaches is humility; second; Compassion, and the third is patience.
