On Thursday, Sept. 24, the Framingham High golf team improved their record to 4-1-1 by beating Braintree High School 83-76.

Max Ferrari, Tyler Anes, Jill Jones, Ian Bellerose, Will Slater, Kevin Lenzi, Jesse Rubin, and Evan Chansky all started today.

Matt Campbell and Jack Freedman were the alternates.

The senior captain Max Ferrari returned to his usual form by leading the team with 16 points.

Tyler scored 12, Jill scored 9, Ian scored 11, Will scored 11, Kevin scored 9, Jesse scored 8, and Evan scored 7. The alternates scored 7 and 1 respectively.

This is the most the team has scored this year at Framingham Country Club, which is an extremely challenging course.

For those of you who do not know, the golf team plays a form of Stableford.

In this form, if a player scores a bogey, they get 1 point, a par gets 2, a birdie gets 3, and an eagle gets 4 (a Bogey is 1 over par, a birdie is 1 under par, and an eagle is 2 under par).

In this form, the team with more points that wins, the opposite of normal golf.

So far this season, the golf team has been undefeated at home, with the tie coming against Needham.

The one loss this season came in the first match at Natick.

That match, the team was down four starters, and the team was obliterated 102-51. But the team really turned it around and this looks like a very promising season for the Flyers, who missed the playoffs last year
