Yates headed to match play championship

July 2, 2009

Tonganoxie High golfer Colby Yates qualified on June 30 for the Kansas Amateur Match Play Championship by shooting 75 in a qualifying round at Falcon Lakes Golf Course in Basehor.

A rising THS sophomore, Yates will compete in 36 holes of stroke play July 28 and 29 at the Kansas City Country Club in Mission Hills. The low 64 players from those two days advance to a single-elimination match play bracket.

Point of View

Do you plan on attending the St. Patrick’s festivities Saturday in Tonganoxie?

I like seeing Tongie being festive and all dressed up for the occasion. Along with my family, I will be attending the parade, watching the Wild Women of the Frontier, snarfing up some corn beef and cabbage and listening to the pipes. I’m only Irish on St. Paddy’s Day, and sometimes the weekends before and after. The rest of the time, I’m Scottish and both cultures regard pipes as heavenly. To me, it is also a celebration of spring’s imminent arrival, and the green color carries that message, too.
