"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…

Have putter, will destroy!!

Christine Fields, ruler of golf courses and destroyer of souls.

The Queen is back. Long live the Queen.

Beset by rain, illness and family vacations, Coupeville High School junior Christine Fields has only competed in a handful of golf matches this season.

But a handful is all she needs to hold on to her crown.

Staring down the best South Whidbey and Archbishop Thomas Murphy could throw at her Monday, the one-woman Wolf wrecking crew rolled to an impressive win.

Playing at her home-away-from-home course at Useless Bay Golf and Country Club, Fields carded a 29 using modified Stableford scoring.

That easily brought her medalist honors, with South Whidbey’s Rosie Portillo (26) the only other duffer within shouting distance.

In the team competition, the host Falcons bounced ATM 75-42.

Even Christine Fields slightly off days on the golf course are pretty good.

The Coupeville High School junior described her performance Tuesday at Cedarcrest Golf Club in Lakewood as “a bad day,” yet she carded the third best score out of the 11 varsity golfers competing.

Her score of 23 points over nine holes, using modified Stableford scoring, put her hot on the heels of Lakewood’s Hailey Duitsman (24) and not that far off medalist Rosie Portillo (26) of South Whidbey.

The Falcons, who Fields trains and travels with, beat their hosts 88-77 in the team scoring race. With only the Lone Wolf, Coupeville has no shot in the team battle.

A little layoff didn’t hurt Christine Fields.

A combination of rain-outs and a trip with her family have kept the Coupeville High School junior a bit limited when it comes to actual competition on the golf course this spring.

But, when she has been out on the links, the two-time state meet competitor has been as good as anyone on Whidbey Island.

Thursday, playing against Sultan and her training companions from South Whidbey at Useless Bay Golf and Country Club, the lone Wolf carded a 23 using Stableford scoring, finishing second in the individual competition.

Fields has five matches left on the schedule before postseason play kicks off in early May.

She and the Falcons play host to Archbishop Thomas Murphy Monday, April 21, travel to Cedarcrest (April 24), King’s (May 1) and Sultan (May 5), then return back to Useless Bay for the season finale against Lakewood May 7.

Christine Fields rules the links (again)!!

"Fear the putter, fools!!"

“All your trophies are mine, mortals!!”

Six for six.

Coupeville High School’s lone golfer, junior Christine Fields, had to wait while baseball, softball, track, girls’ tennis and boys’ soccer all got a chance to play this spring.

Rain-outs washed away her first two scheduled matches, as she and South Whidbey, who she trains and travels with, never got to face Overlake and Bush.

Thursday, the rain finally parted for her, and guess what? Just like the other five CHS sports, she opened with a win in her first go-round.

Playing at the Battle Creek Golf Course, Fields carded a 26 over nine holes, using modified Stableford scoring, edging South Whidbey’s Rosie Portillo (25) to take the individual crown.

The Falcons, who also got a 21 from Tara Moore, thumped host Archbishop Thomas Murphy 81-41 to capture the team title.

Fields can’t win any team titles — since she doesn’t have four other teammates wearing the red and black who would help her pick up points.

But winning an individual title first time out bodes well as she attempts a run at qualifying for the state tourney for a third consecutive season.

She’ll next tee it up, weather permitting, Monday, March 31, when Cedarcrest comes to Whidbey and visits the Useless Bay Golf and Country Club.
