"Incoming missile and..."

“Incoming missile and…

another birdie for me!!"

another birdie for me!!”

Christine Fields is tearin’ the joint up.

Playing in the 1A state girls’ golf tourney for the third straight year, the Coupeville High School junior is in fifth place after Wednesday’s opening round.

Fields, who finished 8th as a freshman and 15th as a sophomore, teed off at high noon in Lake Spanaway and was red-hot all the way round the links, carding an 84.

Defending champ Bree Wandersheid of Goldendale is atop the leader board with a 76, followed by Lauryn Keating of Elma (78), Hannah Roh of King’s (81) and Kendra Meeker of Friday Harbor.

South Whidbey’s Rosie Portillo, who Fields plays along side during the regular season, shot an 87 and will join her Wolf compatriot in Thursday’s second round.

It’ll be a familiar trip.

After carding an 87 Tuesday at the Gold Mountain Golf & Country Club to claim fifth place at Tri-Districts, Christine Fields is state bound for the third straight year.

The Coupeville High School junior continues to rise in her sport, having finished seventh at Tri-Districts as a freshman and sixth a season ago.

Now, she’ll return to the Lake Spanaway Golf Course in Tacoma May 27-29 for another crack at a girls’ 1A state links title.

The first day is a practice round, with the 36-hole tourney officially kicking off May 28.

To play through to the second day, you have to be in the top 20 (including ties) after the opening round.

Fields made the cut in both of her previous seasons, finishing 8th as a freshman and 15th as a sophomore.

“I’m coming for all your state titles!!”

Survive and move on.

That’s the mantra for Coupeville High School junior golfer Christine Fields as she navigates the postseason for the third time.

A two-time state qualifier (she finished 8th as a freshman and 15th as a sophomore), she’s cleared two out of the three hurdles to getting back to the pristine championship golf course at Lake Spanaway.

First Fields rallied on the back nine at the Cascade Conference championships, carding a 40 to sail in with an 88 for her travel around the links.

That nailed down a top-five finish and should earn her All-Conference honors once again.

Then she did just well enough at Sub-Districts Wednesday in Bellingham to punch her ticket to Tri-Districts, the last stop before state.

“Made the cut!,” Fields said. “Shot a 101, but who cares, I’m moving on!!”

Tri-Districts will be May 20 at Gold Mountain Golf and Country Club and state is May 28-29.

Complete and utter domination.

That’s what Coupeville High School junior Christine Fields threw down Monday, running away with the individual title at a three-team golf meet at Sultan.

Playing at Blue Boy Golf and Country Club, Lone Wolf Fields rang up a score of 31 over nine holes using modified Stableford scoring.

None of the other ten golfers — five each from South Whidney and the host Turks — scored higher than a 24.

South Whidbey, which had all five of its golfers clumped together in the 24-22 range, easily won the team title, bouncing Sultan 114-58.

"And another birdie for me!!"

“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…
