The Four Winds hosted the Panhandle Junior Golf Tournament this past week with 48 golfers participating. In the field of 15 boys in grades 10-12, Tristen Zitek and Dillion Wise tied for top honors with a round of 73 forcing a playoff that Zitek won in two holes of play. Other scores by our immediate area golfers saw Kole Bush shoot a very good round of 78, Zane Anthony 81, Andrew McCloud 86, Izaac Reuter 93, Jacob Walker 118, and Cole Henton with a 121.

Kimball 8th grader, Payton Wise, won the 10-12 grade division of the 15 field of young ladies as the 13 year old Payton moved up a class and shot the winning round of 94. In the grade 6-7 boys, Tayton Zitek was the winner with his score of 44 over nine holes of play. This gave the Zitiek family of Pine Bluffs a pair of firsts on the day. Trevor Williams shot 111. In the same division for the girls, Tori Williams shot 111. In the grade 4-5 boys division Kyler Lusche was the winner shooting 32 in 6 holes of play with Kaymon Lusche second with 41 and Branson Keifer was fifth with 50.

On the subject of Junior Golf, Four Winds Pro Chad Wise sends notice that there will be no Junior golf at the Four Winds this coming Monday as he is taking some kids to Colorado for an event.

Kimball’s Jordan Greenwood is still taking his game to high levels. He most recently played in the Nebraska Boy’s Match Play Tournament at the Wild Horse Golf Course in Gothenburg, where you had to shoot a qualifying round to advance into the match play bracketing. Jordan shot a solid round of 76 which did advance him into match play where he met up with Cade McCallum of Grand Island, who had shot the low round of qualifying of 68. Jordan lost out in his round of match play to McCallum six and four.

More honors came Jordan’s way this past week when he was selected as an All State Golfer by the Nebraska Coaches Association. State meet finishes dictated the selection of the All State Team. Congrats one more time to Jordan who closed out his Kimball High golf career this past spring as Kimball High’s first ever four- time state golf medalist! Now he heads off to Beatrice and play at the college level for Southeast Community College. This weekend he will be in action with his father, Kenny, and brother, Jeff, in the Father’s Day Tournament at the Four Winds.
