The FLC men’s golf team concluded their season on Monday with a disappointing showing at the CCCAA state championship tournament in Palm Springs, finishing eighth with a total team score of 789 at Desert Island Country Club.

The state championship title went to Reedley College, a team the Falcons defeated in three of the five NorCal Major tournaments, with a team score of 745.  Playing two 18-hole rounds in one day, five of the six Falcon golfers had one round of 80 or more.  The lowest 36-hole total for FLC was Eric Olsem’s 156, achieved with two rounds of 78.

Despite the disappointing finish, the Falcons accomplished several FLC firsts during 2016:  school record low team score, two school record-tying individual low scores, a 3rd Big 8 championship, Big 8 Player of the Year (Mason Troike), NorCal MVP (Troike), and the third FLC golf team to qualify for the state championship tournament.  Congratulations Falcon golfers and Coach Zarecky on another outstanding season!
