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.

In cast you were wondering, Waconia is leading the standings through Tuesday by 10 shots over Mound-Westonka.

The girls are seeing improvement and it is showing. Tuesday at the lovely Southbrook
Golf Course near Annandale, the Chargers tied for fifth place. The scores from most of the golfers keep improving which means they could easily see higher placements as the season progresses.

One thing that will hinder that progression is the amount of meets, however. With four meets this week and many more on the horizon, it is difficult to work on specific parts of the game.

Annika Ring continues to be the leader on the course for DC; she carded a nice 47 Tuesday. The rest of the golfer are close too. Sarah Harmala had a 51, Abby Thomson a 52, and Heidi Harmala a 53.
