Cougar golf has best placing since 2006, opens conference season with third place finish

The Barton Community College men's golf team officially began the 2013-14 season this past Monday finishing in third place in the Jayhawk Conference's first meet of the season at Winfield's Quail Ridge Golf Course.   It was the best conference meet placing for the Cougars since the 2005-06 season in which they placed second at the conference's No. 5 meet held at Pratt Country Club.  Barton stood in fourth place after the first 18 holes but moved up to third in the final 18 holes to score a 623, a combined forty-seven strokes over par.  Barton will be back on the links September 23 for the Conference Meet No. 2 to be held at Turkey Creek Golf Course in McPherson, Kansas.

Freshman Koby Beougher led the Cougars with an eleven-over-par 155 to finish in 14th place.  Fellow freshman Landon Fox, a Winfield native, finished a stroke behind in 16th while sophomores Alex Hobelmann and Jeremie Eloy were close behind at thirteen-over-par and fourteen-over-par to finish in 19th and 22nd place respectively.  Freshman Zack Proffitt rounded out the Cougar team finishing in 32nd place at twenty-one-over-par.   Sophomore Bryer Livermore competed as an individual, finishing in fifty-third place at forty-over-par.
