Tuesday we hosted our Olympia Scramble where the team of Mason Kruger, Ethan Barnes, Austin Siliskie, and Kruz Otto shot -7. The winning team from the scramble was Delavan who shot a meet record of -17. Thursday the boys traveled to the Lincoln Elks to golf in the annual Lincoln Scramble. The team shot -5. On Saturday the team traveled to Country Hills to battle in the Bulldog invite. The team improved from Monday and shot a team score of 357 with the low score being Mason Kruger at 85.
