With their practice course in the best shape coach Seth Kuhl has ever seen it at this point of the season, the Superior Bobcats golf team has been busy hitting the links at nearby Trestle Creek to prepare for this spring’s high school golf campaign.

Kuhl says he has nine boys out for the sport with eight returning from last year.

Seniors Phin Catlado, Brydon Drey and Sam Doughty, juniors Henry Hanson, Dalton Boyce and Liam Wheeler, sophomore Wyatt Doughty and Neal Orr and first year freshman Landon Richards comprise the roster for the Bobcat golf team.

Superior was slated to start season play at the Florence/Darby Invitational in Hamilton Friday but a school trip to Europe took several players away from the team for part of the opening of the season.

The Bobcats will play their first tournament with a full squad at the Plains Invitational at Wild Horse Golf Course west of Plains Friday.

Kuhl said Jake McElroy returns as assistant coach for Superior golf.

Of note, there are currently two boys named Landon Richards enrolled in Superior High School. The “other” Landon not on the golf team is a 6-5 junior competing for the Superior track and field squad.

Kuhl says the golf team’s Landon Richards and the track team’s Landon Richards are not related by blood. “They are not related,” he said, “but they are both great kids.”
