With a promising season ahead, the Fords’ golf team is set for a strong start under the experience of Director of Golf Mr. Stephen Cloran and new Sixth Form Captains Harrison Brown, Gregor Weissenberger, and J.P. Hoban.
The team, with its veterans and newcomers, is built upon a solid foundation of character, talent, and hard work.
“We represent something far greater than ourselves, so it will be my job to remind the players of that,” Mr. Cloran said. “Many players and coaches before us built a remarkable golf program. We need to do our part to uphold the remarkable tradition of Fords’ golf.”
“If we do those things consistently, we hope to put ourselves in position to be Inter-Ac champions again, and independent school state champions.”
This season will be no different in terms of the success that the golf team consistently produces—as seen with its victory on last year’s EA Day—owing to the aptitude of this year’s captains.
“I know we have strong leadership in our captains,” Mr. Cloran said.
The goals that the golf team has set remain unchanged.
“Our program goals will hopefully be the same each fall, to be a unified team, great teammates, compete the right way, and win every match,” Mr. Cloran said.
“If we do those things consistently, we hope to put ourselves in position to be Inter-Ac champions again, and independent school state champions.”
Weissenberger shared a similar notion.
“The plan is to repeat our wins from last year and include a win at PAISSA,” Weissenberger said. “We are going to be a very competitive and consistent team this year, and I could not be more excited.”
The golf team still has plenty to aim for, though.
“We have a very talented team,” Mr. Cloran said, “but we still have to hit good shots and make putts in order to win matches and ultimately defend our league championship.”
