Spring Golf Season Tees Off Across Wyoming High Schools

Wyoming is buzzing with excitement as the spring high school golf season officially kicks off this week, bringing together young athletes from all over the state for some friendly competition and sunny days on the greens. With three competitions lined up, fans can expect thrilling matches as schools showcase their talents and teamwork.

Buffalo Takes the Spotlight

The cozy town of Buffalo will play host to the first major event of the season, the Buffalo Spring Invite, happening at the beautiful Buffalo Golf Course. This tournament is set to welcome teams primarily from northern Wyoming, including the likes of Campbell County, Glenrock, Kelly Walsh, Natrona County, Riverton, Sheridan, and Thunder Basin. It’s a great opportunity for local fans to come out and cheer for their teams while enjoying the sights of spring blooming around them.

Ten Sleep’s Unique Challenge

Just a short drive away, Ten Sleep is organizing a blend of 2A competition at the Green Hills Golf Course in Worland. The Ten Sleep Spring Invite is drawing in a variety of teams from across the region, including Big Horn, Cody, and Lander, to name a few. This tournament promises to offer some thrilling matchups as schools compete for pride and practice on the golf course.

A Smaller Gathering in Wheatland

Wheatland is welcoming a more intimate group for their own spring event, inviting six teams including Cheyenne Central, Cheyenne East, and Laramie. This Wheatland Spring Invite is a fantastic opportunity for these squads to gauge their skills early in the season as they look to improve upon their performances from last year.

Weather Woes

While excitement builds, it’s worth noting that these fixtures are always subject to change, especially with unpredictable Wyoming weather. The Worland Invite, for instance, was recently canceled due to adverse weather conditions, highlighting the challenges of early-season tournaments and course availability. Nevertheless, the first week of the season is set to pave the way for even more events in the upcoming weeks as temperatures warm and courses reopen.

A Season of Change

This year, the high school golf landscape is experiencing significant changes, particularly for the Buffalo High School golf team, which started its practices last week. Notably, the team saw an increase in participation with 27 enthusiastic student-athletes joining up. The recent reclassification of teams means that the competitive conditions will be different as top golfers have graduated, including nine who finished ahead of promising sophomore Addison Bettinger at last year’s state championships.

Golfers to Watch

During their early competition in Powell, Bettinger impressively finished in third place, showcasing her skills right out of the gate. Senior Wyatt Waller led the Buffalo team with a commendable score of 81, putting him in a solid position among his peers. These young stars are stepping into new roles and leading their teams to what promises to be an exciting season.

Eyeing State Championships

Looking ahead, the high school golf state championships are scheduled for September 20 and 21, 2024, across various locations, providing every golfer something to strive for as they shape this season. With previous power teams making adjustments and new champions emerging, parents, friends, and fans will surely want to keep an eye on how these matches unfold throughout the spring.

The golf season has officially begun in Wyoming, so grab your favorite golf gear and head to the courses to root for your local teams as they swing into action!
