Falcon golfers finish 8th in state tournament

The FLC men's golf team concluded their season on Monday with a disappointing showing at the CCCAA state championship tournament in Palm Springs, finishing eighth with a total team score of 789 at Desert Island Country Club.  The state championship title went to Reedley College, a team the Falcons defeated in three of the five NorCal Major tournaments, with a team score of 745.  Playing two 18-hole rounds in one day, five of the six Falcon golfers had one round of 80 or more.  The lowest 36-hole total for FLC was Eric Olsem's 156, achieved with two rounds of 78.
