LHS places second in Buffalo Lake
The Luverne girls’ golf team traveled to the Oakdale Gold Club in Buffalo Lake Thursday, April 27, taking on Fairmont and New Ulm in an 18-hole meet.
“It was a good chance for them to get a look at the course before the upcoming section meets,” head coach Chris Nowatzki said.
Luverne took second place behind Fairmont and placed ahead of New Ulm.
“This was our first 18-hole match of the year. The girls kind of ran out of gas toward the end, but we will work on getting better from start to finish,” Nowatzki said.
“I was happy with how they handled the faster greens. We haven’t seen anything like them so far this season.”
