April 19, 2020 Update
My Mustangs!
I hope you all are safe and well during this abnormal time. I know parents have received important information from Lisa Weir and Jennifer Blaine, but I wanted to reach out and give a little information myself. As you all know, golf should not be a priority right now. Everyone should take care of their loved ones and stay safe during times like these. We all need to control what we can and do so with a good attitude.
As of now all UIL activities and contests will resume no earlier Monday, May 4th. The UIL will be reevaluating the beginning dates for practices as they receive more information about schools resuming. We cannot have scheduled team practices during the time that schools are closed. So if you guys choose to practice, do so using all the safety precautions you can. You all have your practice drills book, a lot of those can be done at home by yourself. I will send out optional workouts throughout the coming weeks that you can complete if you choose to do so. Anything I send to you while we are out of school is optional and not required. Staying positive during a time like this is tough, but necessary. As always, never hesitate to reach out to me for anything.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone again soon and I will be praying for continued good health for our team’s families and loves ones.
Win the Day & Stay Safe,
Coach Brady

Tough Conditions in Galveston
This past weekend the second team traveled down to Galveston to play in the Wildcat Invite hosted by Clear Creek High School. Moody Gardens Golf Course played extremely difficult over the two days, with winds gusting up to 35 mph and the greens playing firm and fast. The first round showed winds out of the Northeast throughout the day, making the first nine holes tough. The mustangs fought hard, but the golf course simply won this round. However all the teams found the conditions to be difficult, so the team score of 337 was still good enough to be in 4th place headed into the second round. The mustangs started the second round only three shots out of the third place and needed a good day to make a move up the leaderboard. A much better start across the board on Saturday was key and the mustangs got it. Devin Dinsmore led his team the second day carding a phenomenal round of 74 in the Galveston winds. The second round of 325 was a solid 12 shot improvement! The two-day total, 662, was good enough for a 6th place finish. The in individual scores were Devin Dinsmore 82-74, Blake Jarvis 83-81, Marshal Ramke 81-86, Will Brookby 91-85, and Dylan Gardner 91-85. The Regional Preview is set for March 20-21 on two weeks and that will cap off the regular season for the Mustangs!
Second Place in Sugar Land
Left to Right: Jonah Lou, Nico Ryan, Jerry Zhao, Alex Hay, Carson Kidd
5 Mustangs traveled down to River Pointe Golf Club in Sugar Land for the Clements Varsity Invite. Along with the 125 player field, there were plenty of gators enjoying this great property! The team of Jonah Lou, Alex Hay, Jerry Zhao, Nico Ryan and Carson Kidd played smart and plotted their way around this golf course. With water on almost every hole, it required accurate tee shots and precise approaches. Early in the round the guys had to get used to the firmness of the greens and adapt quickly. Jerry Zhao did so and fought his way to a career low round in his mustang career with a one-over-par, 72! Carson Kidd was not far behind him with his round of 73. The rest of the scores were Nico Ryan 80, Alex Hay 81, and Jonah Lou 85. The team score of 306 was good enough for a second place finish, seven shots behind Clements High School and another great event for the team! Next up is the Wildcat Invite down at Moody Gardens! Win The Day!
Aggieland Match Play Champs!
Left to Right: Johnny Cooley, Walker Bergen, Will Overall, Jeffrey Zatorski, Preston Rouse, Coach Brady
The top five Mustangs traveled up to College Station this weekend to compete in the Aggieland Match Play hosted by the A&M Consolidated Tigers. The first day included 36 holes of continuous stroke play to determine seeding for day 2 and name the individual award winners. It was cold on Friday morning, but the mustangs got off to hot starts. Jeffrey Zatorski led the way with a 5-under par round of 67, but not far behind him was Preston Rouse’s 68. With Johnny Cooley, Will Overall, and Walker Bergen shooting 72, 73, and 77, it gave the mustangs a first round score of 280 (8 under par). The lowest team score recorded in over 4 years. The wind picked up for the second round, but the mustangs kept their heads up and attitudes positive. They managed their way to a round of 302 (Zatorski 70, Bergen 77, Rouse 77, Cooley 78, Overall 81), good enough to earn he number 1 seed for the match play portion. Jeffrey’s rounds of 67-70 earned him 1st place individually, winning by five shots. That is Jeffrey’s third individual win in four weeks! The championship match included the Memorial Mustangs and the Highland Park Fighting Scots. This head-to-head format gave the coaches the opportunity to send players out in their desired order. Senior Will Overall went out first against Thompson Huthnance and played 16 very solid holes at even par, however Huthnance played extremely well at 3 under par. Will fought back late winning two holes in a row on the back nine, but in the end Huthnance won the match 3&2. The next match, Sophomore Preston Rouse went up against a senior in Randall Fojtasek. Both players put on a clinic all day, making over 14 birdies between the two of them. Rouse was able to close out Fojtasek on the seventeenth hole, winning 2&1. In the same pairing Senior Johnny Cooley performed outstanding, playing 16 holes at 3-under par giving him the 4&2 victory over Hudson Weibel. Sophomore Walker Bergen was in the final paring, going up against senior Jack Watson. Walker played his game as he knows how to, hitting tons of fairways and managing his short game well. He was able to close out Watson 2&1 on his seventeenth hole. Jeffrey Zatorski was up against Christian Clark and Jeffrey performed even better than he did during the stroke play portion, making an incredible 7 birdies in 14 holes. He won his match over Clark 4&3 and with the 4 points to 1 advantage; the Mustangs took home the team win. This is huge team win for the Mustangs!
Battle on the Bayou
Standing left to right: Will Rexrode, Edward Li. Sitting left to right: Logan Smith, Powell Jordan, Hunter Lee
The Mustangs headed down to the Bayou Golf Course to compete in the Texas City Invitational this past Tuesday. With tons of rainfall the day prior the golf course was very soggy and made it difficult to navigate the ball around the course. It didn't seem to bother freshman Powell Jordan in posting a score that matched is career low. His round of even par 72 led his team and was good enough for first place individually. The team as a whole flourished coming down the stretch making 3 birdies as a team on the last 5 holes, posting the first place team score of 335. The rest of the team scores were Edward Li 85, Will Rexrode 87, Hunter Lee 91, and Logan Smith 99. Another big team win for the mustangs!!
Big Win on The Island

The top 5 boys and girls got a really unique opportunity to play on the same teams this past week to compete in the Clear Lake Four-ball Invitational at the historic Galveston Country Club.. It was a four-ball format taking the best score on each hole between the two teammates. Our parings were Jackie Nguyen & Walker Bergen, Zoe Slaughter & Spencer Gray, Catherine Lee & Jeffrey Zatorski, Meredith Simpson & Tyler Gardner, and Lydia Howard & Preston Rouse. The boys came out hot the first round, even with heavy fog all day. The team first round score of 278 (10 under par) was the low round of the day and put us in great position headed into the final day. As the boys did day one, the girls got off to an even hotter start in round 2 catapulting the team to an unreal round of 27 under par for the day. The team score of 539 (37 under par) was an incredible accomplishment and gave the Mustangs a large margin of victory. They swept the individual awards as well as the team win. Lee & Zatorski’s 68-65 earned them first place, Nguyen & Bergen’s 71-63 gave them second, and Slaughter & Gray’s 72-63 got them third. Howard & Rouse’s 70-70 and Simpson & Gardner’s 69-74 also earned top 10 finishes as well! Jackie Nguyen played outstanding on day 2 and her 8-under par round of 64 gave her the new course record at Galveston Country Club! Simply a phenomenal event for both the Girls and Boys teams as they approach post-season play!
Solid Showing in Montgomery
The mustangs stayed busy and traveled up to Bentwater Country Club in Montgomery, TX for the Don Massengale Memorial Tournament. The first round was a very chilly morning followed by strong winds coming off Lake Conroe. Devin Dinsmore led his team through the first round with a great round of 77. The first round team score of 326 was a very solid start for this group, especially on this golf course. The second round was warmer, but a lot more wind was present. Our team got off to a rocky start, but stayed patient and grinded out a 338 for the second round. The team total of 664 was good enough to finish right in the middle of the pack at 11th place. Individual scores were Devin Dinsmore 77-82, Drew Vandervoort 83-82, Jerry Zhao 83-83, Nico Ryan 83-92, and Jonah Lou 93-91.

Another Win in Cypress
Left to Right: Marshal Ramke, Christopher Robishaw, Jeffrey Zatorski, Walker Bergen, & Will Overall
The varsity boys traveled to the nearby Blackhorse Golf Club in Cypress and competed in the Nicole Corser Memorial Tournament hosted by Katy ISD schools. Day one was on the North Course and 25 mph winds proved an extremely tough test for everyone. After a rough start, the guys battled back and posted a score of 322, which was good enough for a 10 shot advantage. The second round was on the South Course, much narrower and with trickier greens. Jeffrey Zatorski’s fast start with two birdies in the first five holes enabled him to lead his team with a very impressive four-under par round of 68. Walker Bergen had a tough start on the South, but he managed his way around playing his last 13 holes one under par to shoot 75. The Mustangs strong second round was good enough for a big team win! Individual scores were Jeffrey Zatorski 77-68 (1st Place), Walker Bergen 80-75 (3rd Place), Will Overall 80-81, Marshal Ramke 85-81, and Christopher Robishaw 86-80.
Victorious in Crosby
Left to Right: Nico Ryan, Jerry Zhao, Hayden Smith, Devin Dinsmore, Erikson Pittman
Five Mustangs traveled up to Stonebridge Golf Club at Newport this past Friday and Saturday to compete in the Crosby Invitational. In extremely wet conditions this team was able to post two very solid team rounds for the event. In round one, senior Hayden Smith led his team firing a round of 76 and only four shots back of the individual lead. Right behind him were freshmen Erikson Pittman and Nico Ryan shooting rounds of 79 & 80. After day one their round of 318, gave them a sizable lead over Brazoswood and Friendswood. The team goal was to simply improve on the team score from round one, if accomplished it would surely secure the team title. Erikson and Nico showed extreme poise as they backed up their first round scores with round of 78. Good enough for them to finish in 2nd & 3rd indivifdually. Sophomores Devin Dinsmore and Jerry Zhao both improved on their first round scores as well. The second round score of 316 was good enough to get the win. A very impressive showing out of this group!

Mustangs Finish 5th at Hill Country Shootout
The second varsity team had the opportunity to travel up to Burnet this past weekend to compete in the Hill Country Shootout hosted by Vandegrift High School at Delaware Springs Golf Course.

Varsity Boys Win in Kingwood
From Left to Right: Spencer Gray, Preston Rouse, Tyler Gardner, Walker Bergen, Will Overall
The Varsity boys competed this past weekend up in the Atascocita Fall Championship hosted by Kingwood High School. Even in perfect weather the short, narrow golf course proved top be a very difficult set up for the field. Ant hill greens caused golf balls to wonder off on approach shots and deemed short game shots to be precise. After a first round score of 314, the Mustangs had the lead going into the final round on Saturday. The final round began on a much better note than the first, with 2 boys finding themselves under par thru their first 5 holes. As the wind picked up the golf course showed its teeth again, but the mustangs held strong. They posted a team score of 309 and won the tournament by a comfortable margin. Spencer Gray found himself in a playoff for the 2nd place after rounds of 78-76, but fell just short after 4 holes of play. Walker Bergen finished in 4th, shooting rounds of 79-77. Will Overall finished just ahead of his teammate Preston Rouse in 7th place. Will shot rounds of 80-79 and Preston 77-83. Tyler Gardner rounded out the scores and finished in a tie for 11th with rounds of 88-77. Next up for the varsity squad is the Tiger Classic this coming weekend in College Station.

Senior Jonah Lou and Sophomore Hunter Lee posted round of 89 and Junior Will Rexrode shot 93.
Repeat in Galveston
From Left to Right: Carson Kidd, Christopher Robishaw, Devin Dinsmore, Powell Jordan, and Jerry Zhao

Christopher Robishaw lead the way and finished 2nd individually with a solid round of 75. Carson Kidd followed with a 78, Devin Dinsmore and Jerry Zhao shot 79, and Powell Jordan shot 86.

Spencer Gray lead his team in the morning round at Roy Kizer, shooting a 2-over par round of 73. Not far behind him was Preston's 74, Johnny and Will's 75, and Walker's 78 which was good enough to shoot a team round of 297. The afternoon round brought a more difficult golf course in Jimmy Clay, especially with the wind picking up. The Mustangs round of 294 put them in 7th place headed into the final round Saturday. Walker lead the team with a 1-under par round of 71 in the afternoon. The other scores were Johnny's 73, Will and Preston's 75, and Spencer's 77. The final round was played back at Roy Kizer where the team got comfortable and shot their best round of the event. Walker Bergen shot a 4-under 67 round filled with 6 birdies.
