Female Golfer Leads Boys Team To Fourth-Place Finish at Counties; Qualifies for States in the Process

Port Washington varsity golf team finishes fourth at the Nassau County Championships, while senior Kelly Shon qualifies for New York State Championships.

For the third consecutive season, the Schreiber High School golf team won the Conference III championship. In 10 matches this season, the Vikings went 9-1 and shut their opponents out on four separate occasions. At the beginning of the golf team's season, coach Kathleen Doughty said she expected at least five of her golfers to qualify individually for the Nassau County Championships — and coach certainly knows best. Schreiber had six golfers qualify individually for the Nassau County Championships, where the team finished fourth overall. Senior Kelly Shon, the team's only female golfer, finished second individually at counties, qualifying her for the state tournament in the process. Shon, who will attend Princeton University in the fall, …

Vikings Golf Shoots for County Title

After losing to Farmingdale in the county championship last season, the varsity golf team looks to win it all this year.

The Paul D. Schreiber High School varsity golf team began preparing for its spring season on a gray, chilly March afternoon at Sands Point Golf Club. The team, defending its back-to-back Conference III championships, is eager to improve on last year. After an undefeated regular season, the mighty Vikings fell to Farmingdale by four strokes in the county championship. The teams goals for this season are clear: win both the conference title and the county championship. Coach Kathleen Doughty said she believes this team has the ability to do just that, as well as send as many as five golfers to the county championships as individuals.  One of them, junior Paul Tasnady, qualified for the individuals last year and Doughty said she expects him …

Bonds passed to install new boat ramp at Bar Beach and work on erosion issues at Manorhaven Beach; new fees and golf carts approved for Harbor Links.

A trio of state grants have paved — and paid — the way for Town of North Hempstead projects to begin at two Port Washington beaches. The town board unanimously approved two bond resolutions Tuesday evening to spend $530,000 to build a new boat ramp at Bar Beach, and $200,000 to rehabilitate wetlands and erosion issues in Bar Beach Cove. "[The current boat ramp] is in serious state of disrepair," Councilman Fred Pollack said Tuesday. "It's going to be totally rebuilt so it's actually usable." A previous project to fix erosion issues at Manorhaven Beach Park was previously adopted. Councilman Fred Pollack explained that all three projects will be 80 percent funded by grants received from the state. "They're reimbursement grants, so we have …
