Q & A with Pat McDole

Posted

Seekonk golf's #1starter Pat McDole was good enough to answer a battery of questions for the Reporter recently. Unfortunately, soon after this interview, McDole and his teammates ended their season with a disappointing 5th place finish at the sectional tournament. McDole led the team with an 84 on a day full of unfortunate Seekonk scores at Dennis Highland.

Q: How's the team doing?

A: The team's doing good. We finished the season at 12-4. We just came off the conference tournament, which we were lucky enough to win. I think we're on a roll, hopefully we'll take the momentum into the sectional tournament and then hopefully on to the state tournament after that.

Q: Did you win the league in the regular season as well?

A: We actually came in second, DR finished 14-1. It's an improvement, because the last three years, we've gone up by four wins. This is by far the best season I've had...I'm proud of the progress we've made.

Q: We know you're a quiet guy who leads by example. Who is the emotional leader of this team?

A: My co-captain Alex Lansing. He brings some good energy to the team, he's always there to give us a pep talk if we need one. I think there's a lot of good camaraderie. Everyone does their own part, I think it's why we've had a good season.

Q: Do you get out to other sporting events besides the matches you play in?

A: The other day Andrew [Roy] and I went to support the girls volleyball team when they made the MIAA tournament for the first time in six years. You can't just go to school and play golf. I definitely get away from the sport and I think that helps sometimes. Everyone needs to step away sometimes.

Q: You guys get to play at Ledgemont CC. How do you feel about that?

A: We're very fortunate to be able to play here. Ledgemont does a great job giving us some availability.

Q: What's the first thing that comes up on your iPod if you turn it on right now?

A: It would be hip hop. I'm a fan of Drake.

Q: What video game(s) are you playing right now?

A: I think [Call of Duty] Black Ops is coming out next month so, maybe I should go pick up a copy of that.

Q: How's school going? Do you have a favorite class right now?

A: I enjoy going to school, which is probably different from most kids. I like all my subjects, especially...astronomy. I find space and planets interesting. It's a cool course, and it's a little different than most classes.

Thanks for talking with us Pat! Sorry you couldn't get to that state tournament we were all hoping for.
