\"Moving<\/p>\n

Coach Trey Mason hung up his golf bag after leading the squad from 2018 to 2014.\u00a0 In May, the Unit 5 School Board brought on Jeremy Jordan to lead the team.\u00a0 Jordan dropped in on Carmi Kiwanis Thursday to talk about his teams, made up of 23 total players.\u00a0 He\u2019s joined by Carlin Smock, who oversees the girls team.<\/p>\n

Seventeen boys, six girls\u2026so it makes for a crowded course when we have them all out there.\u00a0 Our girls are all here today.\u00a0 Five of our top six boys are here today.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Jordan, a Kiwanian himself, says he hopes that he and fellow Kiwanian Adam Winkleman (father of Gabe Winkleman) can\u2019t be here for Corn Day as that\u2019s when the state finals are scheduled for in Bloomington.\u00a0 Regionals for the young men will be hosted by McLeansboro, but held at Green Hills Country Club in Mt. Vernon.\u00a0 Girls regionals will be hosted by perennial powerhouse Mt. Carmel.\u00a0 The Lady Aces have won the last four state championships and set a state record with a score of 604 in the 2021 final.<\/p>\n

The girls squad graduated five seniors returning only Katelyn Davis to the varsity roster.\u00a0 He says they\u2019re continuing to improve their scores each week and he\u2019s anxious to see if they can make some noise.<\/p>\n

The boys squad is senior heavy with nine total seniors, two juniors, three sophomores,\"\"<\/a> and three freshmen.\u00a0 The boys in attendance split on their favorite courses between Kokopelli in Marion and West Frankfort.\u00a0 The girls have a penchant for the course in Carmi.\u00a0 Coach Jordan said the team and community are lucky to have a course as nice as Carmi\u2019s.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re very spoiled here.\u00a0 Mr. [Dave] Johnson can attest, the greens and fairways are great.\u00a0 You go to some of these other courses and the green\u2019s 90% dead, you\u2019re playing some refer to as a cow pasture you\u2019re hitting across.\u00a0 So we\u2019re blessed by Carmi Country Club and how they take care of that club and allow us to be out there.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Boys and Girls teams both beat Flora on Tuesday and while the girls were off the rest of the week, the boys were headed to West Frankfort Thursday afternoon before squaring off in the Benton Invitational on Saturday.<\/p>\n

In club business, President Amanda Nelson said the club voted to make donations to First United Methodist Church in the amount of $300 and $100 to a local deer donation program to help feed families.<\/p>\n

Coming up next Thursday, Kiwanis will turn to one of it\u2019s own again as Luke Sailer will talk about the Carmi-White County Schools Foundation and that organization taking over the Farm to Table event.\u00a0 It\u2019s scheduled for Thursday, October 9th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Coach Trey Mason hung up his golf bag after leading the squad from 2018 to 2014.\u00a0 In May,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":151412,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[427,99],"class_list":["post-151411","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/151411","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=151411"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/151411\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/151412"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=151411"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=151411"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=151411"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
