EUREKA — Humboldt High’s junior varsity golfers were in Eureka Tuesday for a two-man scramble tournament.
Colton Slocum and Luke McGowen teamed up to shoot a 48 over the nine-hole course, good for fourth place.
Meanwhile, William Kobold and Stephen Leo teamed up to place 10th with their score of 57. Tymber Shultz and Greta Pelliiccioni shot 60, good for 13th.
The competition featured different variations of the scramble format, HHS head coach Bret Hauser explained.
The first three holes were “best ball,” in which both golfers played their own hole, and recorded the lower score of the two.
Holes 4-6 were a typical scramble, where each player hits a shot, and then the players decide which shot they like better and play from there.
The last three holes were a modified alternative shot, in which both golfers teed off, then went to the one with the best drive, and then alternated shots for the duration of the hole.
“It was a fun way to finish off the JV season,” Hauser said. “The Eureka coach decided to give the kids the experience of playing ‘old man golf’ with the variety of formats. The players enjoyed the three different formats and all had a great time.”
