Led by Cam Comeau, PE teacher, the Gleneagle’s golf team is back after three years of absence. The two teams, senior (Gr. 11-12) and junior (Gr.9-10), consists of 8 new and experienced players collectively. Comeau is an experienced golf player, having earned a golf scholarship from UBC back when he was younger. He’s excited to be a part of this team and to unleash the “untapped strength” of new players.
Although team members practice on their own time with private separate coaches, Comeau has been getting each player to begin establishing their own routine, as golf is a game that requires fine motor skills and good muscle memory. Golf matches take place on courses in Coquitlam, Pitt Meadows, Burnaby and Surrey, which offer SD43 students reduced fees. This includes Westwood Plateau, Gleneagle’s home course.
The team’s upcoming match is on Wednesday May 11th at Westwood Plateau. So far, each match has been an exhibition game, with district tournaments happening on May 16 for the junior team, and May 18 for the senior team at Golden Eagle GL.
