Colfax golfers compete at SCC and Spring Valley

Three matches were scheduled last week but only two were played as the Colfax golf team placed sixth in a conference meet Monday at St. Croix Central and sixth again at Spring Valley the following day. Stormy weather hit the area once again, forcing a postponement of the Thursday meet which was supposed to be at Spring Valley again.

Trey Gullickson continues to play consistent golf for the Vikings as he had the low score for the team with a round of 51 for the day while Trevor Seston finished a stroke behind at 52. Bryce Fransway and Andrew Buckley ended their day with an 81, and Trenton Anderson finished with an 87. Although Glenwood City continues to dominate teamwise by winning yet another meet, Mondovi golfer Hayden Ford was the medalist with a 39.

“We had a difficult time on the greens with both our putting and chipping game,” coach Vince Ross remarked.

Four of the five Colfax players dropped their scores from the day before as Seston picked up three conference points by placing in a tie for eighth with his score of 45. Gullickson dropped his score by four strokes with a 47, Anderson dropped 16 strokes off his, shooting a 71, Fransway was one stroke lower with an 80 while Buckley finished with an 84. Ford tied with Glenwood City’s Nick MrDutt and Jake Hierlmeier for low score with a 39 while the Hilltoppers were the team winners again.

“It was nice to see Trevor and Trey shoot well after the previous meet,” Ross said. “The other kids are working hard to improve and their swings are getting better.”
