San Marcos withstood heavy winds on the first 14 holes at Sandpiper Golf Course and managed to score a 407 to win its season-opening boys golf match by 10 shots over Arroyo Grande.
San Marcos coach Aaron Solis said the wind was blowing 20-30 mph for the first 14 holes then calmed to about 5 mph for the last four holes.
Par is 72 at Sandpiper, but in reality it played to a par 75 or 76 today,” he said. “We want to score better than we did today and will continue to work hard, but this is a good starting point considering the conditions today.”
Chad Visser fired a team-low 76 to finish a stroke behind medalist Jack Avrit of Arroyo Grande. Sam Metzger shot 77 for the Royals.
