The Davie golf team is not satisfied with winning the Central Piedmont Conference by 50 strokes. The War Eagles want to win it by 80, 90 or 100 strokes.

They turned in their second-best score of the season at Oak Valley on April 22, when they shot a 2-over 146. The only time they were better than that was March 18 at Pine Knolls, when they were even-par.

Electric scores are coming from everywhere. Beck Owen and Anderson Beliveau shot even-par 36s to pace Davie. B. Owen was even or better for the fourth time, while it was a season-best day for Beliveau.

Evan Owen and Landon Packard came in with 37s, with Packard going 1-over or better for the third time.

Just for fun, Davie extended its lead over second-place West Forsyth to 69 shots during the meet at Salem Glen on April 23. Davie shot 10-over 154, captured the CPC meet for the eighth time in as many tries and left with a season score of 1,202. West is next at 1,271.

How about E. Owen? He shot 1-over 37, marking the ninth time in 12 matches that he’s shot 1-over or better. Beliveau, Packard and Cooper Drum accounted for the other Davie scores with 39s.
