Golf Team Hosts First Invitational
May 17, 2018
On Wednesday, May 9th, the New Glarus golf team held their first annual New Glarus 18-hole Invitational at Edelweiss Country Club.
“The course conditions were a bit sloppy on the back 9 from all the rain,” said Coach Jonathan Goodness. “Then windy on the front, which, in some cases were actually affecting putting, so the golfers had a bit of a challenging day.”
There were three teams at the top of the score sheet separated by only one stroke each. Beaver Dam shot a 342, Edgerton shot a 341 and Platteville won the meet with a team score of 340.
Joe Forsting won individual medalist honors, shooting a 76.
“I was proud of how our guys played,” said Goodness. “The back was a bit rough for a few of them, but they were able to keep their heads up and stay focused on the next hole.”
Matt Hach had a great front 9, shooting a 37 with a 44 on the back and Cole Runde put together a respectable back and front 9 to score an 85.
New Glarus finished in 4th place with a 346, Pec/Argyle finished in 5th with a 370, Dodgeville finished in 6th with a 412, Monticello/Belleville finished in 7th place with a 419 and Brodhead finished in 8th place with a 423.
