MITCHELL – Friday turned out to be another frustrating day for the Aberdeen Central golf squad at the Mitchell Invitational.

The Golden Eagles finished seventh as a team, but were just a few strokes out of fifth.

O’Gorman won the team title. Central was seventh right behind Rapid City Stevens and Huron.

“I’m a little disappointed in the fact that last week down in Yankton, whatever place we ended up, it was by a couple of strokes out,” said Central coach Kim Zimmerman. “The same thing happened today. I think we ended up seventh, one stroke behind Huron and two strokes behind Stevens, so we’re kind of coming up a little bit on the short of the end the stick both times out.”

Zimmerman said it is a variety of things that are kind of plaguing the squad right now.

“It’s frustrating. I think every girl had a little different problem,” he said. “Some was putting, some was maybe penalty strokes. So everybody was a little bit different. It wasn’t one particular thing that jumped up and got us. It’s just different things.”

Danielle Podoll led the squad with an 84, tied for 14th.

Zimmerman said it’s not like the team has gotten complacent. It’s just a matter of the Eagles trying to regain their early-season form.

“It’s not like the girls aren’t trying,” Zimmerman said. “We’re definitely working at, but we’d like to get things turned around here.”

Central is right back in action on Monday playing in the Sioux Falls Washington Warrior Invitational.

“The one good thing about golf is we don’t have much time to sulk about this. We get after it again on Monday,” Zimmerman said. “We’ll just get back after it again, and talk over today and what we can do better and go from there.”
