The Pagosa Springs High School Pirate golf team will return to action with a pair of tournaments over the next week, including the team’s home tournament.
The Pirates were last in action at the Aug. 19 Panther Invitational in Cortez.
Coach Mark Faber indicated it’s exciting for the team to get to play again after practicing over the last couple of weeks.
“It’s been good,” he said of the practices. “I mean, they’ve worked at it. Hopefully it shows up in a tournament this week, but they’ve worked hard on what they needed to work on.”
He added a tournament gives you an idea if what you’re working on is making a difference.
“At this point,” he said, “they need to play, absolutely. We need to get some tournaments and get in that mode so hopefully we get some kids headed to state.”
First up for the Pirates over the next week will be a meet at the Monte Vista Country Club in Monte Vista on Friday, Sept. 5.
Faber indicated he hopes to have a few more golfers travel to that tournament based on the space available.
Action is set to begin at 9 a.m.
Then, on Tuesday, Sept. 9, the Pirates will host the Pagosa Springs Invite at Pagosa Springs Golf Club, with action again set to begin at 9 a.m.
Faber added hopefully everybody who wants to will have a chance to play.
“It’s always nice to get to play on your home course,” hes said.
