He shot a 76 and 77 in two rounds to finish 16th at the. 2A state boys golf tournament atLiberty Lake Golf Course. Holmes Waltermire’s comments: “It’s awesome! I’ve put in lots ofhard work these past two years to continue improving my game, and it’s really incredible seeing all the pieces start to click. Everyone always says I’ve picked the Worst sport, because in tournaments there is only one winner out of the whole field. Personally, it was a good season, the weather was fantastic and our group of guys was great. However, I’ll always have that thought in the back of my mind tellv ing me you could have shaved a stroke on that hole, that missed putt could have started my birdie train, etc. I play to win, and when that doesn’t happen, it has to fuel you to keep working.” Coach Lorna Martinson’s comments: “The difference between last year and this year was the time between the season and state. Holmes took lessons up at Chambers Bay that improved the consis- tency ofhis swing, and his short game. But the biggest change was the mental aspect ofhow be mentally approached the game. He was able to come back after a bad shot, instead of having a had shot lead to consecutive bad shots. It was really cool to see him mature as a golfer. Overall, this a great honor for him and one that he absolute—r ly has earned.” Carson Harmon, Shelton
