The Barton Community College men’s golf team began the second half of their season on Wednesday, finishing in seventh place in the Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference fourth meet of the season held at Salina’s Municipal Golf Course.
In less than ideal golf conditions consisting of temperatures reaching only in the mid-40s, Barton’s five freshmen finished with a team score of 614 for a combined 54 over par, 47 strokes from the top-finishing team.
Jeremie Eloy finished in 10th place at four-over-par, leading the Cougars with rounds of 71 and 73 for a total of 144. Alex Hobelmann finished in 22nd place, closing with a round of 73 after posting a 76 earlier in the day for a total of seven-over-par 149.
Barton will be back on the links on April 7-8 for the fifth conference meet at Emporia’s Municipal Golf Course in Emporia. The Cougars will have their practice round on Sunday, then will play 36 holes starting at 8 a.m. on Monday.
