This wasn't, I'm certain, how Troy High senior Alex Wolfe wanted to start the 2020-1 season.
Wolfe, who has been the starting quarterback for Troy's football team the last two seasons, and is also a point guard on the men's basketball team, needed to fill the void on his fall after-school calendar, so he decided to try out for, and made, the men's golf team.
Yes, you read that right. Troy has spun off a women's golf team after the success Olivia DeCitise had last season on the links led to more women trying out for golf this year.
However, as Wolfe has quickly found out, it's not quite as easy winning on the course as it is on the court or gridiron. The men's golf team is now 0-2 after losing to Bethlehem on Saturday afternoon at Normanside Country Club,246-300, but there is little rest, as the Flying Horses will be back at it Tuesday for their home opener at Frear Park (which they're sharing with LaSalle & Catholic Central) vs. Averill Park. Wolfe carded a 42 for 9 holes, the lowest score for a Troy golfer on the day.
For Wolfe, one must assume, basketball season, set to start in December, can't come soon enough.
On the women's side, Molly Bisceglia carded a 54 over 9 holes for Troy, but it wasn't enough as the Lady Horses fell to Bethlehem as well, 166-187.
Something tells me we might see Troy also spin off a women's bowling team this winter, which would be a good thing.
