The Viola Longhorn Golf season is underway!

The Longhorn and Lady Longhorn golf teams traveled to Cherokee Village South Golf Course for our first match of the season. Out of six teams, our boys’ team finished 3rd—missing 2nd place by just six strokes. We had two boys tie for the 7th best individual score out of 24 golfers, with another narrowly missing the top 10.

There weren’t as many girls’ teams or players at this match, but our girls competed hard and all finished with respectable scores. It was a great first match, and we’re looking forward to the rest of the season!
