Dream afternoon of golf: Round out your foursome and where are you playing?
“Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods and Dustin Johnson. We are playing at Augusta National.”
You’d rather face: Six-footer, slightly downhill and a hair to the right on the 18th to win / OR / Two free throws, down two with time expired?
“Six-footer, because I’ve practiced them a lot during spring and summer.”
Musical instrument you wish you could play?
“I wish I could play the piano because it would be cool to remember all of the keys.”
Who on the team does the most spot-on Coach Sinicki impersonation? And how is yours?
“Mikey Lee, and he makes the whole team laugh when he does it. Mine is pretty good, after playing for him for three years.”
Favorite golf course you’ve played? What made it special?
“Binghamton Country Club, because I was a member with my dad when I was little and I love to go play there today and remember all the memories.”
Other than your home court, most comfortable, inviting environment to shoot a three?
“Windsor’s court, because I’m playing against my old JV coach and I’m playing against my friends from there.”
More accurate with driver off the tee or shooting an unopposed three from up top?
“Probably driver off the tee because I practice that shot so often.”
What’s likely to be in the headphones when you’re getting shots up solo?
“Anything by Drake.”
Up next for Bucko and the Saints (12-1): 1:45 p.m. Jan. 29 at Chenango Forks.
