It was only one hole from one match, but it spoke volumes about the state of high school golf in northern New Jersey—and especially the 2012 edition of the Bergen Catholic golf team. One-by-one, with a tee shot and an approach, the Crusaders simply rendered a perfectly good par-5 obsolete. All but one of the team of smooth-swinging teenagers shrugged off the pond in front of the green of the 505-yard 2nd hole at Upper Montclair County Club, and took dead aim at the pin with their second shots. “Not only that,” said 30-year coach Jim Jacobsen, “but three of the six kids hit it with a seven- or an eight-iron. Of all the changes I’ve seen over the years, the distance these kids hit the ball is the biggest. These kids not only all lift weights…
