Did you know that Fauquier High School has a golf team? To many, this comes as a surprise. On October 7, the FHS golf team finished sixth as a team at the 4 Region C meet at the Loudoun Golf and Country Club.

The golf team did two regular season tournaments. They finished second in their first tournaments and third in their second tournament. They then competed in the District Championship and placed second, moving them on to the Regional tournament.

Senior Bryce Leazer came in fourth in the individual competition. Leazer has played golf since he was 10 years old. He believes it is the greatest game ever made.“It is challenging, both on the mind and on the body. It is like life there are ups and downs,” said Leazer.

With a roster of only eight students, they travel to Fauquier Springs to practice with their coach Bob Martin. “Unlike most sports we don’t have one team vs. another. We play where all teams in the conference compete in one event,” said Martin.
