Another good day for the Penn golf team advancing to regionals following their win a sectionals today. Baz was medalist and had a solid but up and down round of 71 (1 over par). 1st step to state complete, regionals next week. Onward and upward! #golf #penngolf (at Erskine Park Golf Course) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByJa6sRFzN1/?igshid=1a27idqov54lz

Baz started the day ranked 44 going against number 21. With temps in the mid to high 80's and wind gusting to 20-25 or more at times it wasn't easy out there today. Putts like this is what kept Baz alive all day today. He started well and was up 1 after 3 holes before the bottom fell out. He didn't play poorly but the other guy played really well and before he knew it he was down by four after 9. After a never give up speech (or possibly threat) from me he pushed on the tenth hole which was actually number one at Purgatory. On to number two across the water I saw a splash. That would probably seal his fate. It was 3 feet short and wet. The other guy said I think it bounced out. How could that be? I went to look and somehow it bounced out of 2 feet of water. That had to be a sign? He went on to win the hole. Slowly but surely he worked his way back to even on the last hole. He hit the putt to win the hole and the match and that was just the first 18! On to match number two versus the number 12 man. Baz started off ok and was square for a bit before going down one and then back even. By number nine he worked his way to +1. On number ten the other guy hit it to within about 8 feet but the greens were dry and super fast. Baz was a looong way away and two levels up with no way to slow it down. He didn't make this putt but he put it within a couple inches and cranked up the pressure for the other guy. He ended up three putting and Baz was all of the sudden up two. He went on the birdie the next two and was 3 up. Then another miss and he was four up going into 14. With a chance to win on 14 and 15 he finally chipped out of a bunker on sixteen right up near the pin and made an easy putt to seal the match. It has been 14 hours since we started this morning, my watch says I am at 913% of my exercise goal with 274 minutes, 31,506 steps for 14.63 miles. I am tired and didn't play a single hole and we get to do it all over tomorrow! #golfing #penngolf #golf #sinktheputt #statefinals #driveforshowputtfordough (at Purgatory Golf Club)

After losing by one shot last year at the Bob Turner Classic, winning by 13 shots feels pretty good. #penngolf #golf ⛳️ (at Tippecanoe Lake Country Club)

And with that miss the run is over. Baz ran into a buzz saw this morning. He was quickly down 4 and in big trouble. He clawed back 2 but then lost another right before the turn. He thinks he didn't play well but the other guy didn't give him a chance. Every hope was shattered by a long putt that slammed the door. Trying to claw back Baz was off his game and struggling just to make par when birdies were required and sometimes still not enough to get a point back. At one point we thought we had a great opportunity, the guy hit it into the water near the green but about 8 feet down. He found the ball and hit it out of six inches of water and rimmed out of the cup. Just as we had a sign bouncing it off the water yesterday, I think that was his. The course was a little slower thanks to the rain overnight but that brought out the humidity. After 4 days I was tired of just walking! Now off to the shower before another two day tournament starts tomorrow. (We thought this was only going to be two days when we scheduled it). @bazfurry3 #golf #golf⛳️ #penngolf #statefinals #golflife #golfing (at Purgatory Golf Club)

The first year of high school golf is now officially over for Baz. I don't think it could have gone any better, although I am sure he thinks otherwise. Summer tournaments start tomorrow so now is the time to turn it up another notch. #golf #golf⛳️ #penngolf (at Granger, Indiana)

Marking your ball after your second shot this close on a par four is sweet. Doing it on the first hole of a playoff is even sweeter! Tapped it in for the win! #golf #golf⛳️ #penngolf (at Erskine Park Golf Course)
