Varsity Golf
The Hastings varsity golf team competed in the challenging Tom Collins Memorial at Bedford Valley on Thursday, finishing with a team score of 369.
While the overall placement wasn't the team's primary focus, the event provided invaluable experience for the young squad. Daniel Jensen (JR) led the team with a score of 75, placing 3rd individually and medaling. Bronson Elliott (JR) shot an 87, and Andrew Barton (FR) carded a 94. Hunter Pennington (SR) and Cayden Cappon (JR) rounded out the scoring with 113 and 101, respectively. Playing one of the best courses in the state against tough competition represents a significant learning opportunity. This experience will be crucial for the team's development as they continue their season. The team looks forward to applying these lessons and building on the progress made when they compete in their home invitational next Friday.
