In the Big 8 Conference Tournament 10, held at Windsor Golf Course, the Beavers took third and solidified their hold on third place in the conference.  Scott Daley shot a 72 and Derek Peters finished with a 73 to lead ARC.

In a non-conference match, the Beavers came in third of a four-way match in which four strokes separated the top team score to the last.  Joell Coloma fired a par 72 on the Windsor course to tie for second in individual play, and three other ARC golfers were right behind.  Andrew Poole and Derik Peters each finished with a 74, and Scott Daley came in with a 78.

The Beavers continued their streak of steady play by again having every player under 80 on the par-72 Catta Verdera course in Lincoln.  Andrew Poole finished with a 74 to lead ARC.  Joell Coloma fired a 75, Derik Peters had a 76, and Mike Jimenez and Zack Carter each had a 79 to round out the scoring.

The Beavers put together their best outing of the season, scoring a five-stroke win in the Big 8 Tournament #8 at Spring Creek Golf and Country Club in Ripon.  Joell Coloma and Scott Daley each finished with a par-72 and a three way tie for second in individual honors, but it was the play of the entire squad that led to the victory.  Mike Jimenez came in with a 73, Andrew Poole shot a 74, and Zach Carter had a 78.  Derik Peters, whose score did not count in the team score, fired a solid 79.

With only three strokes separating first and third place, the Beavers found themselves in the thick of the most competitive Big 8 Tournament of the season.  Sierra, on the strength of medalist Wes Sandroni’s 72, held off the Bear Cubs and the Beavers.  ARC had one of its best showings of the spring.  Joell Coloma and Mike Jimenez each fired a one-over 73, and Andrew Poole and Scott Daley both finished with a round of 74.

Andrew Poole and Mike Jimenez came in with scores of 79, but they were the only Beavers under 80 as ARC slipped to fourth in the Big 8 Conference Tournament # 6 at Silverado Country Club.  Joell Coloma finished with an 80, Scott Daley had an 81, and Derik Peters carded an 82.

Andrew Poole and Derik Peters each shot a 73 at Eagle Vines Golf Course to lead the Beavers to the third-place finish.  Scott Daley put up a 77 and Joell Coloma came in at 79 for ARC, which solidified its third-place standing in the Big 8 standings.

Scott Daley fired a one-over par 73 to take second in the four-way match at Oakdale in Modesto.  Daley, who had an impressive round despite taking an eight on the 17th hole, and Andrew Poole were the only Beaver golfers to finish below 80.  Poole shot a 78 to tie for sixth place.  Matt Siepert shot an 82, Mike Jimenez an 84, and Derik Peters an 86 to round out the top scorers for ARC.

Playing a four-way match at the Silverado North course, the Beavers stayed in contention with the Wolverines with consistent scoring, but could not get any players to break 80.  ARC’s Joell Coloma carded an 81 to post the team’s lowest score, but Derik Peters (82), Zack Carter (83), Scott Daley (83), Mike Jimenez (84), and Andrew Poole (85) were not far off the pace.

Scott Daley aced the 9th hole at Elkhorn Country Club in Stockton with a 9-iron as the Beavers finished second at the Big 8 Tournament #4.  ARC totaled a 385, just five strokes off the pace set by the Bear Cubs.  It was Daley’s first hole in one this season, the second of his career.  Daley finished with the low score for the Beavers, but three other players broke 80.  Andrew Poole and Derik Peters each totaled a 76, and Joell Coloma came in with a 79.

The Beavers turned in a solid, consistent team effort as five golfers shot under 80 at the Oakmont Country Club near Santa Rosa, but a technicality kept ARC from earning top honors at the Big 8 Tournament #3.  Andrew Poole fired a 74, and Scott Daley and Derik Peters finished with 75’s, but it was a disqualification that proved to be the most critical score.  Zach Carter, who carded a 71, was disqualified for signing an incorrect scorecard.

In a four-way match hosted by Delta at the Elkhorn Country Club, Joel Coloma tired for medalist honors with a 74 to keep the Beavers on pace with the Mustangs.  Mike Jimenez and Derik Peters each turned a 78, and Zack Carter finished with a 79.

The Beavers’ Joell Coloma shot a 75 on the par-72 Morgan Creek course in Roseville, putting him in a three-way tie for medalist honors in the Big 8’s second tournament of the spring. 

In the first Big 8 Tournament of the season, the Beavers’ Zach Carter fired a three-under par 69 to lead a competitive field at Teal Bend.  Carter led five ARC golfers who finished at 77 or lower, enabling the Beavers to register a tie with the Mustangs.  Andrew Poole shot a 74, the fourth-best total on the day, Joell Coloma finished with a 76, and Scott Daley and Derek Peters each carded a 77.

Playing in the wind and rain at Morgan Creek in Roseville, the Beavers’ Joell Coloma again earned medalist honors, but it was not enough to stay with a consistent Bear Cubs squad.  Coloma finished two strokes ahead of three Santa Rosa golfers—Todd Dvornik, Aidan Pinch, and Nick Kovarik—but no other ARC golfers broke 82 on the wet course.

The Beavers handled the wind and their opponents in the four-way match at Teal Bend.  ARC’s Michael Jimenez shot a 74 to earn medalist honors, three strokes ahead of teammate Joell Coloma, and five in front of ARC Andrew Poole and Derek Peters.  No golfer from any of the other three schools broke 80 on the course.
