Coulee golfers end April with back-to-back conference meets

Coulee Conference golf teams ended April by squeezing two competitions into the final two days of the month.

Arcadia and G-E-T were among the teams to descend upon Viroqua Hills Golf Course last Monday and continued play on Tuesday at the West Salem meet, hosted by Fox Hollow Golf Course.

More conference action is scheduled for this week, including a Tuesday meet at Castle Rock Golf Course in New Lisbon and a competition in Black River Falls on Thursday.

Five of G-E-T’s six golfers posted scores under 50 as their 186-stroke day was good enough for fifth at last Monday’s meet in Viroqua.

Domanick Knott was the top golfer for the Red Hawks, posting a 7-over par 44. Other Red Hawks to break 50 included Mason Kromrey with a 46 and Maddox Scow with a 47. Teammates Nic Jumper and Kylan Olson both carded a 49, and Aiden Johnson’s 50 was the team’s final score.

Westby recorded the two best rounds of the day as Brooks Hoffland earned medalist honors with a 1-over-par 38. Teammate Slade Stackhouse was two strokes behind him with a 40, tying him for second place with Sam Aebly of Black River Falls.

Joey Theis of Arcadia shot a 43 to lead all county golfers at the meet. Kaiden Rotering posted a 46 for the Raiders, which also saw a 51 from Stryder Miller and a 52 from Carson Schultz.

Black River Falls received a medalist 2-over-par 37 from senior Wyatt Madvig to edge Hoffland and Westby for first place. Hoffland’s 41 was the second-best round of any golfer on Tuesday.

Black River Falls shot a 165 as a team, followed by Westby with 175, Luther at 179 and G-E-T in fourth with 182. Host West Salem scored a 184 and was followed by Arcadia’s 186 and Wonewoc-Center/Hillsboro’s 204.
