Senior Starts Season Off With Wins, Has High Hopes For Future

by Chandler Thomas
4.17.08

The crowd is silent as the golfer steps up onto the tee
box. He places his golf ball on the tee and lines up his shot. He imagines the ball blazing through the air and landing gently, directly in the middle of the fairway.

Then he prepares to drive the ball off the tee and watch it fly. He shatters his tee as he swiftly strikes the ball and sends it into the air. The small crowd cheers as he watches it land in the fairway, just as he had anticipated. He proudly walks off the tee box and prepares for his next shot.

Driving the ball off the tee is only one of the many aspects of golf. Striking, chipping and putting also have to be mastered to become a great golfer. Senior Ross Friehe is on his way of mastering all of these tangibles. Winning the Lincoln High Invite, the Millard South Invite and the NGA classic so far this year,
he has hopes for a state title.
