Now, it gets serious.
Having tuned up with a third-place finish in a match Wednesday at Useless Bay Golf and Country Club, Christine Fields is heading off to her fourth, and final, golf postseason.
The Coupeville High School senior, who has placed at state all three seasons, claiming 5th in 1A last year, has been training and traveling with South Whidbey.
Now, the Lone Wolf will break free from the Falcons and the 1A/2A Cascade Conference and join the league her classmates have been playing in this year, the 1A Olympic League.
Fields will tee off in that league’s 18-hole tournament May 12 in Sequim, playing against golfers from Klahowya and Port Townsend for the first time this season.
Finish in the top three and she qualifies for districts May 19 at Gold Mountain.
A final trip to state would come May 27-28, if she qualifies.
Since Coupeville doesn’t have a golf team, Fields has spent the past years repping the red and black while practicing and playing with South Whidbey.
Wednesday was the final time she would step on a golf course with a full roster of her “teammates.”
The Falcons crushed visiting Sultan 118-20, with Tarra Moore taking medalist honors, carding a 30 in modified Stableford scoring over nine holes.
Fields compiled a 26, putting her right on the heels of South Whidbey’s Rosie Portillo, who netted a 27.
Now, it’s goodbye to the Falcons (except for the ones she could possibly run into down the road at state) and modified Stableford scoring, and hello to stroke play and one final run at postseason glory.
