Par for the course: MHS golfers sweep away the competition after eight matches

Another week, another couple of wins for coach Bob Green’s Marblehead High School golf team, eight of them to be exact as the month of September winds down. It includes last week’s triumphs over Danvers (45-27, Sept. 22) and non-league Malden Catholic (47-25, Sept. 23), both at Tedesco. Overall, the Marblehead boys have an 8-0 record, and are 6-0 in the Northeastern Conference.

The month was scheduled to conclude away from Tedesco against Masco at Ferncroft on Sept. 29, and then Danvers again at the Wenham Country Club on Wednesday, Sept. 30, at 3 p.m. After that, these Magicians have just five regular season matches left on the schedule, before they test their skills against the rest of the state. 

Marblehead won seven of its matches against the Falcons last week, with the other encounter ending in a tie. 

Co-captain Tyler Forbes easily topped his Danvers counterpart, 7-2 after shooting a 33. Colby Moore was victorious, 5.5-3.5. Moore shot a 39. Pete Ryan shot a 37 to defeat his Danvers opponent by the same score. 

Will Macrina ended up on top in a close match, 5-4. Max King doubled up his winning margin of difference, 6-3, as did Teddy Dulac. John Rand persevered, 5-4. Co-captain Greyson Leventhal settled for a tie, 4.5-4.5, despite shooting a 37 after nine holes. 

It was more of the same lopsided results with another seven individual winning matches against the Lancers. 

Leventhal returned to the winner’s circle, 6.5-2.5. He shot a 35. Moore, shooting a 39, breezed to an easy 8-1 triumph. Both Ryan and Macrina recorded identical winning scores of 6.5-2.5, while each shot a 38. 

Shooting a 37, King came out on top, 5.5-3.5. Dulac had a similar final score, and got there individually by shooting a 39. Rand won a close encounter, 5-4. But Forbes, despite playing well with a low score of 37, lost in a heartbreaker.
