Mountain runners strong HHS cross-country team competitors






Dave Robb of Idyllwild played at Pechanga golf course in Temecula on Tuesday last week. At the par-3 17th, he stroked a downhill 7-iron about 166 yards. It bounced a foot in front of the pin, rolled toward the hole, momentarily stopped, then dropped in from the back side for a hole-in-one. Oddly enough, he…
Playing again this week Brendan Steele fired a 6-under-par 68-72-72-66 — 378 in Playa del Carmen, Mexico last week to tie for 41st place in the rain-delayed Mayakoba Golf Classic on the PGA Tour.

On Saturday Oct. 15, two Minor League games were played. The first game was between the Idyllwild Heating and Cooling Bobcats and the American Legion Hurricanes. The game was fast-paced as both teams went up and down the field. Colby Sonnier scored two nice goals for the Bobcats as did Rene Montoya for the Hurricanes.
The second game pitted the Café Aroma Galaxy and the La Casita Ravens. The Galaxy played tough defense as Julia Wangler fought off the Ravens’ attack over and over. The Ravens’ Elie Manchester played a great game while hustling around the field.

In recent weeks his putting has been a strong point of his game. At THE PLAYERS he gained 1.050 strokes putting on the field….
