I hit twice all the wayaround, so I actually playedtwice,” Cypress said. “Ithelped that I golf year-round. It keeps myswing smooth.”Coached by Amos Mazzant, golfcoordinator on the Big Cypress Reservation,the team scored 36 in the front nine and 39on the back nine. Because the event wasnot sanctioned by the Florida High SchoolAthletic Association, no winners or loserswere announced or recorded.“Basically, it was a friendly challengebetween high school players. It madefor a more relaxed and enjoyable dayto acknowledge teen golfers,” saidorganizer Stan Bostic, national directorof communications and VIP programs atRick Case Automotive. “Kids are alwaysgetting attention for football, baseball andbasketball, but we don’t hear enough aboutthe golfers.”Bostic said it makes sense to bring highschool students out to the greens.Thirty adult teams also played at thesame time and place in the 9th annualRick Case Golf Classic held to benefitThe Prestige Club.
