“Journal 11” golf teams do not host tournaments too often. Rushford-Peterson did so this year with six full boys teams and five full girls teams. Lanesboro’s squads won both events. The boys kept up their strong season by outshooting Chatfield, 360 to 361. R-P (407) and D-E (408) hotly contested third and fourth place. L-A (414) and Houston (445) followed. Two 8th graders topped the leaderboard. Lanesboro’s Jack

Harstad posted a triple-bogie while Brogle bogeyed the par-three 14th hole. Each athlete had one birdie, Brogle seven pars, Harstad 10. But the latter had five double-bogeys or worse to Brogle’s two.
