Engle will provide punch for Shawnee golf
The Shawnee High School boys golf team lost a few key players to graduation this season, but incoming freshman Clark Engle will provide a massive punch for the Braves this season.
“He’s the best freshman I’ve ever had hands down,” said Braves head coach Steve Tincher.
Engle has played on the Plantations Junior Golf Tour since 2006, and was named the Southern Ohio PGA Junior Tour Player of the Year in the 12 to 13-year-old age group.
Tincher said he’s consistently shooting 36 in practice at Reid North.
“When we hit some of these other courses, he’ll be able to shoot sub par,” Tincher said.
Tincher said Engle doesn’t hit the ball very far, but understands how to manage the course and has a great short game.
“He knows how to score,” Tincher said.
Michael Hogan, Derek Tincher and Hall will also see action in the Braves’ top-4.
“We’ve got three kids who are pretty close to each other,” Tincher said.
The Braves hope to challenge for the league title, but Tincher knows they’ll also be some youthful growing pains along the way.
“We’ll have nights where we’ll look great, but they’ll be other nights where we struggle,” Tincher said.
