Busy golf week cuts numbers at Hoedebeck

Trevor Rose leads oldest boys’ division at DG&CC

The Duncan Golf & Country Club hosted the first day of the Darren Hoedebeck Memorial Golf Tournament Tuesday.

Players entered in the Hoedebeck earn points for each day they play in the tourney. Five points is awarded for first, four for second, three for third, two for fourth and one point for fifth. The points earned help golfers qualify for the South Central Junior PGA summer finale.

In the girls’ 16-18 competition, Shawnda Petree was shot a 78 to take the lead, while Sarah Harper ended the first day with an 83. Julie Wortham was third at 94, and Haley Gunkel carded a 97 for fourth.
