A pair of Gorham golfers shot par Thursday at the Salmon Falls Golf Club in Hollis, leading the Rams to a 198-214 victory over host Bonny Eagle in the second match of the season for both squads.

Scott Guimond, playing in the three spot for Gorham, shot a personal best 36. His coach, Rocky Myers, said that the junior had been playing better, but that there had been no indication that he would do so well this quickly.

“I sank a couple long putts and then I just kept my rhythm up and didn’t think about it,” Guimond said. “I feel like this is a big step for me, and I need to start shooting some lower rounds and backing it up.”

Guimond was nine strokes ahead of the Scots’ Eben Larrabee, while Rams freshman David Gushee, who also tallied 36, edged Ethan Rouse by four.

“I was playing really well, but tripled the six and that killed me,” Rouse said. “He took the hole and that got him two ahead.”

Curran McGarry, playing number one for Bonny Eagle, was neck-and-neck right down to the final hole with Gorham’s Craig Woodbrey. McGarry took the hole, and the round, by a stroke.

“I struggled a little bit with the irons, but the short game was good,” McGarry said. “It came down to the last hole, and he got a 7 and I got a 6.”

The Rams’ Dan Chadwick, in the four spot, topped Brian Moskevich by two strokes, 44-46, while number five Garrett King edged Kayle Hamilton by an equal margin, 41-43. Jon Coppi, the Scots’ number six, was even with Jon Kalloch, both shooting 55.

In match play, McGarry (1-up) and Coppi (2-up) took points for Bonny Eagle, while Gorham won in each of the other four match-ups.

Gushee, who was one of the youngest golfers ever to qualify for the Maine Amateur when he played this summer, is expected to be a keystone of the Gorham program in the near future. In the Rams’ opener against Biddeford, two days earlier, the 15-year-old tallied a 34, six strokes better than anyone else in the field.

He played what he called a “solid round” against Bonny Eagle.

“I made a couple putts in the beginning and hit a couple good drives. On the second hole I drained a 20-footer for birdie,” Gushee said. “There were a couple mishaps, but I had some amazing shots in there, too.”

John Gubelman, the Scots coach, said that he came in wanting to see his team compete with Gorham and they did.

“They are a fine team, a great team actually,” Gubelman said. “We had some close matches that could go either way. Hopefully we’ll be able to turn it around when we go to Gorham and have our match there.”

Bonny Eagle swept Sanford to start their season. They travel Tuesday to Biddeford and then host a tough Thornton Academy team Thursday. That same TA team comes to Gorham on Tuesday, while the Rams also host Windham Thursday.

“It’s fun to get in these different courses and different matches,” said Myers, whose school moved up to Class A this season. “These kids understand. They’re adapting to the new courses and they’re keeping the ball in play. It’s a funny thing that happens if you keep the ball in play: you get some good scores.”
