February 25: Buford Invite @Bear's Best

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!
