OAKLAND — After an attempted banana cut that proved fruitless, leading to a double bogey Tuesday morning, John Hayes IV didn’t panic.

Maine Amateur Notebook: Andrew Slattery opens defense with 72
That’s understandable, in light of a 7 a.m. Tuesday tee time at Waterville Country Club. And it was a foregone conclusion, given his status as defending Maine Amateur champion.

Golf: Slattery still new at this
FALMOUTH — Ten years ago, Andrew Slattery’s approach to golf was no different than the way most of us experience it. Pay to play once a month or so, because it beat sitting at home and because the harsh reality of a cooped-up winter was right around the corner. Hit the ball without having any […]

Maine Amateur Analysis: Slattery survived sputtering start
FALMOUTH — Believing in signs wasn’t a prerequisite to giving up on Andrew Slattery’s chances about a half hour into the final round of the Maine Amateur golf tournament Thursday.
