We played without two of our varsity, so I don’t think our score is a true reflection of our team’s ability. However, this 18 hole tourney gave freshman, Lindsey Miller, an opportunity to play this course. Lauren Tandy was low for V-S and she tied for 8th, so received a medal. The low 10 golfers medaled. Mara Jessen played the 18 holes with only 32 putts. For once this spring we enjoyed favorable weather.
