Two more Dunn-St. Croix Conference golf matches resulted in another pair of third-place finishes for the Colfax-Elk Mound boys’ team.
Playing in back-to-back, nine-hole conference meets in Durand on Monday, May 1 and at Mondovi, Tuesday, May 2, the C-EM boys’ golf squad finished in third for the fifth time in as many conference meets.
The golfers were scheduled to play another conference meet back in Durand on Friday and a tournament the following day at Whispering Pines in Cadott but rain showers washed out both competitions.
The locals will have a full schedule in the final week and a half of the regular season. Colfax-Elk Mound hosted a conference meet at Whitetail on Monday and were at Mondovi’s Valley Golf Course for another D-SC meet on Tuesday. The team travels to Spring Valley for yet another conference contest this Thursday and are slated for another tournament at Cadott’s Whispering Pines on Saturday. Colfax-Elk Mound will return to its home course at Whitetail next Monday, May 15 to host the 18-hole Dunn-St. Croix Conference tournament. It then goes to Black River Falls on Wednesday, May 17 for an invitational meet.
WIAA tournament play begins May 23 or 24 with regional competition.
