4/10/07 - Time to Tee Up by Kyle Gratton (Article from the BFA Mercury, April 10, 2007 Edition)

     As the snow begins to melt and the grass turns green, the Academy golf team is set to turn over a new leaf.  With the departure of head coach Bob Caggige, the team finds itself with the third coach in the program's 38-year history.  Chris Hungerford of the BFA Science Department will succeed Caggige, who followed the father of BFA golf, Bob Ashton.  Hungerford is a year 2000 graduate of BFA, and was a member of the team all four years.  Hungerford also holds the course record at Champlain Country Club, with a 5-under 65.  Hungerford looks to bring a new energy to a golf team that has come up short of their own expectations in past years.

     The teams has been split this season for the second time, creating both Varsity and Junior Varsity teams.  The Varsity team is lead by seniors Patrick Coleman, Adam Bouchard, and Pete Manahan, who, along with Juniors Ben Cioffi, and Matt King are hoping to build on last season when the squad missed qualifying for the States by just five strokes.  "My expectations are for each player to work hard, have fun, and be committed to the program.  I am very confident this team can be very successful." Coach Hungerford says.

     The JV team has nine players on their team, all of whom are either freshman or sophomores.  "These players are certainly the future of BFA golf, and their potential is evident.  There may also be a few JV matches this year so they can get valuable experience," Hungerford said of his JV squad.

     In addition to two boys teams, the girls team is about to enter its sophomore season, and has added another player to the roster.  With three girls this year, the team looks to improve on the results of their first season.  Seniors Sadie Bushey and Chellsey Boissoneault return from last years team, and freshman Amanda Merchant is the addition to Comet golf.  "The girl's team should be very competitive with Chellsey and Sadie, and the addition of Amanda should give the team depth," Hungerford said.

     Academy golf tees off in twenty days when the Varsity team takes on Essex, CVU, and host team Middlebury.  The girls begin the season two days later at the Girls Tournament in Barre.

4/5/07 - Snow has blanketed St. Albans, so the team is back indoors, but still preparing diligently for the upcoming season.  Special thanks to Bob Ashton & Bob Caggige for helping to complete the tradition section about BFA golf history.  Their contributions to BFA golf can also be found in the Coaches section of BFA golf tradition.  Stay tuned as the season is only a few weeks away, assuming the snow goes away of course.

3/28/07 - The Tradition section is now completed, with the exception of individual scoring details from some seasons.  If you have any scrapbooks or clippings that can add detail to the Bobwhite, Comet or Junior History sections, please contact me so I can add them to the site.  In addition, there will soon be a section for Juniors, which will be a source for 18 & under golfers during the summer golf tournament season. 

3/22/07 - The BFA golf teams are in motion, check out the Bobwhite and Comet links above to see our rosters and schedule of events for the spring season.  In addition, BFA golf history has been updated extensively, click on the Tradition link.  There is also a BFA records page to check out the highest individual and team finishes in BFA history.

3/7/07 - Sign-Ups for the 2007 golf season will be on 3/12/07, with our season beginning on 3/19/07.  Stay tuned for updated information about BFA Golf.  I am also in the process of compiling a comprehensive history of BFA golf from its beginning in 1969, with the much appreciated help of former coaches Bob Ashton & Bob Caggige. 

3/1/07 - The launching of the BFA golf website, your comprehensive source for BFA golf, and junior golf in the St. Albans area.  If you are a junior golfer, or parent, this site will give you access to information about golf in the area.  The site will have updated information about junior golf in the area for the whole season, so stay tuned.

September 9, 2007 - Golf Season Winding Down - The golf season is beginning to wind down, but what a year it has been.  BFA has a solid season, going 14-8-1 to finish fifth in the metro standings.  In the summer, Champlain Country Club had some notable junior golf news.  The junior league was won by Mike and Joe Hartmann, in the two age divisions.  Mike Hartmann won the Vermont Junior Stroke play championships in Middlebury, and was runner-up at the Jr. Match play championship.  The CCC Club Championship was won by Bryan Smith, who fired a 72-76=148 for a one shot victory.

July 5, 2007 - Champlain CC Heads to Amateur - Summer is in full swing, and off-season events are plenty.  At Champlain Country Club, junior league is in its second week, with about fifteen players competing each week.  In June, Champlain emerged victorious in an interclub match vs. Burlington CC, with Mike Hartmann earning medalist honors with a 75.  Professional Mike Swim is running junior clinics daily with a huge turnout of eager young golfers.  Coming in July: junior league continues, Burlington comes to Champlain for a match, junior clinics, and Jr VGA events leading up to the state championship on Aug. 1 in Middlebury.  The VT Amateur is next week (July 10-12) at Brattleboro, and Champlain CC has its first full team of players qualified for the event: Chris Hungerford, Bryan Smith, Mike Hartmann, Cam Wood, & Adam Bouchard.  This group will be competing for the McCullough cup, which is a team trophy at the Amateur.  Stay tuned for more throughout the summer, and contact me if you have any questions or comments.
