Timberline defeats Shelton girls' golf Lady Highclimbers golf at Alderbrooke today By EMILY HANSON emi[y',,~'maso~wou nty.com Timberline defeated the Shelton girls' golf team 83-49 on March 22. "We played at Indian Summer Golf Course, the third toughest course in the state of Washington," Shelton head girls' golf coach Lorna Martinson said. "The matches are scored using a stableford system, which means a golfer earns points based on their score for each hole." Martinson said she thought the Lady Highclimb- ors played great on such a difficult course. "For some of them, they had never played nine holes before," she said. "As far as improvement, each girl will set their own goals because their golf talent varies from person to person." Martinson said she is happy with the camarade- rie the team has this season. "I feel we will get stronger as a team because of this," she said. The team's next match is at 3:15 p.m. today at Alderbrook Golf Course in Union against Capital. "I believe we can only control what we do on the course so all I want to see is steady improvement, hoping to score more points as a team each time out." Martinson said. "We will have individual out- standing performances along the way as a result of each girl committing to their personal goal to improve in an area. That is how we will build and improve." ~r ILLIS A'UTO CENTER' "Your Key to Any Automotive Service" ©e •OIL •LUBE •FILTER Plus - Quality Care Multi- Point Inspection All Fluids, Belts and Hoses Checked Includes complimentary car wash *Some gas cars slightly higher; diesel vehicles not included. 2"d Shelton exit off Hwy 101 360-426-5585 $ $ $ $ MMK track and field competes today By EMILY HANSON emi~y@ma,~oncounty,com The Mary M.
