PONTOTOC GOLF WILL FOCUS ON DETAILS

Seniors Chip Holcomb and Matt Cook will look to lead the Pontotoc Warriors on the links this season, and Coach Zach Gory said that mental focus and execution will be keys to success.
“I see kids that want to get better, and that’s the first step,” said Gory.
The Warrior golfers didn’t qualify for the state competition last year, so that will be a goal this spring.
“We’re growing and progressing, and our drive and determination are there,” said Gory.
Thirteen boys and six girls will hit the course this season, the biggest group Gory has had in some time.
Rounding out the team for the ladies are up-and-coming talents Ally Moore, Embreleigh Crews, Addison Mask, Ally Johnson, Brooklyn Claire, and Meg Ross.
For the gentlemen, other players to watch include Austin Brown, Mason Byrd, and Cayton Corley.
Carson Poyner is a seventh-grader who Gory said has a nice swing.
Focusing on the finer points of the game will be another goal, according to Gory.
“We’re starting to do the little things right, and that always lowers scores,” said Gory. “Our guys are usually within 30 yards of the green within two strokes, then it becomes a matter of not double-chipping, and putting yourself in position to make quality shots. A lot is about mental focus.”
