Just was glancing at the golf scores from sunny Tuesday afternoon and thought I’d write about them.

First, the boys’ got three nice rounds yesterday. Garrett Ryynanen posted a 39, which was in a tie for seventh-best. Trevor Grindle was right behind him with a 40. And as we have seen, Grindle as the talent to go even lower, so if Ryynanen can keep golfing like Tuesday, the Chargers have a great duo at the top. Eric Dahlman also turned in a nice round of 42.

The problem is getting a low number from that fourth golfer. Tuesday, Tyler Koivisto was the guy after a round of 47. That is not a bad number, but that makes the difference between yesterday’s sixth-place finish, and something in the top three. The Chargers were just four strokes from fourth place, and eight from third.

The spring sports season is already here, with track and field kicking (running, actually) it off in Becker Tuesday. Here are some more thoughts about the DC teams.

Softball: Clearly, coach Rachel Franklin has a lot of options heading into the season, which will hopefully now start in Waconia next week after Friday’s game has already been canceled. Just about everybody on the team can play multiple positions, where they will play will depend on who is doing well with the bat. In the team’s 12 losses last season, the Chargers scored more than two runs just once. The addition of Briann Jennissen to the lineup, along with a lot of new blood should overcome some of the offense they lost to graduation. A good sign for the future: six players that are a sophomore or younger could see regular time.
