First tournament of the year. It had been incredibly warm temperatures during the week leading up to the weekend. Temperatures for the event were in the low 60's with 20-25mph wind gusts! The format of the Buford Invite was a 2-team best ball...meaning most schools had 4 girls divided into 2 teams of 2. Each girl would play the hole and the lower of the scores goes toward the total. Bear's Best was a beautiful course and we got to see some of the top teams from every classification.
(Morgan Boutwell, Christine McDonnell, Alison Crenshaw, & Rachel Burrell)
After 18 holes of golf and some tedious waiting while schools turned in scorecards...the Lady Longhorns came away with the 1st place trophy. Christine McDonnell & Rachel Burrell scored a 78, while Alison Crenshaw & Morgan Boutwell scored a 77, which gave Lambert a team score of 155. They were 8 strokes ahead of 2nd/3rd place Dalton & White County. Three schools had pairs score an impressive 75 given the conditions for the day, but their 2nd scores were not low enough to beat Lambert. What a great way to start the season! Thank you parents for your support and braving the conditions. Please enjoy some pictures from our celebration at Bear's Best!
