Dulaney has eyes on state golf title

College Park (Map, News) - All too often teams and players get cliché about taking things “one game at a time” or not looking past an opponent.
However, for the field in this year’s Maryland Public Secondary School Athletic Association state championship golf meet, the only thing standing between the golfers and a state championship crown are 36-holes.
Whether those holes at the University of Maryland Golf Course play fast, slow, long or short the next two days will decide if season-long dreams are realized.
“Its long but its definitely a fair test of golf, always in very good shape,” Dulaney head coach Richard Welsh said of the course at College Park. “It’s a nice course.”
The tournament will start today and run through Wednesday.
Welsh’s boys team qualified for the state meet by winning the District VI tournament for the second straight year. He hopes his squad can keep a winning momentum going that has been built up over the past several seasons.
The Lions, Welsh said, are a team consisting of depth. His team has won two straight Baltimore County titles and should have just a relatively good shot at competing for this year’s state title.
Welsh said the ability of his golfers to relax and take the course in stride will be the key to improving on last year’s seventh place finish in the 3A/4A field.
“I’m sure if we get any rain it will be soft and a little longer,” Welsh said. “But...there are couple of blind shots here and there but nothing overwhelming.”
The strength of the Lions this season has been the solid play from Ryan Storrie, who averages a 78. Twins Nick and Andrew Tasselmyer each shoot 80 on average and could be major players this week.
Those three will even be joined the team’s sixth-ranked golfer. Welsh said the Lions could be positioned for great things.
“Hopefully everyone plays well, their best that day,” Welsh said. “With golf its such a tough game. It’s individual. It’s not like, if you aren’t playing well, you can sub someone else in … it’s an incredible mental challenge for the kids.”

Does anyone know anything about Kevin Dunleavy? If he's from Texas and about 29 then I think I was friends with him in high school (Klein). If anyone would know how to get in touch with him, that would be great. I tried calling but the lady I talked to didn't know anything about him. bronwen.iuen@gmail.com

Mr.Dunleavy-A Baltimore boy, Church Waesche, won the 16-17 division of the Gorin on his 16th birthday and was the runner up in the Bobby Bowers last week. Any reason you continue to focus on the Washington region golfers instead of the Baltimore boys?

Michelle should just be Michelle. A pro golfer and a college student. Break away from parental, sponsor, present managment domination and what the LPGA wants. Find her groove make her own decisions and RELAX! At 17 going on to 18 you are considered a young adult. It's time to break away from the nest and feel the air flutter her wings.
