For local high school golfers, the Loyola Spring Swing, a two-day tournament at two Missoula area golf courses last week was a learning experience and an opportunity.
With Montana spring weather on full display, both good and not so good, Florence-Carlton's girls and Jefferson High’s (Boulder) boys won team titles on what one coach described as one challenging course and one less challenging.
“Larchmont (one of the golf clubs involved) course is a less challenging course with holes next to one another and not too many out of bounds or hazards”, said Thompson Falls head golf coach Doree Thilmony. “Ranch Club (the other Missoula area course used for the tournament) is a very challenging course. It is spread out and if you hit your ball off the fairway and into the fescue, good luck finding it or hitting out of it”.
