Welcome to This Week in Golf (TWIG). We are looking to highlight special moments, school records, impactful people, and other unique stories as the golf season unfolds. We don’t hear about everything, so if there is something you would like to be included, please reach out to us on social media or email us with a small recap of what you would like to be posted.

Tournament Results

We are trying to keep tabs on all tournament scores. We will have separate pages for Conference Tournaments and Regular Tournaments. Any scores that are not posted, please feel free to send over (bolinr@hudson.k12.oh.us). Unfortunately, we aren’t able to post scores from 9 hole matches as there are too many to keep track of.

Conference Champions

Congratulations to the Lakeview Bulldogs, who won the Northeast 8 Conference Championship, shooting a 368 and holding off South Range by three shots to win their third consecutive conference championship.

The Columbiana Clippers took home the Eastern Ohio Athletic Conference championship with a 350 at Salem Hills. The conference has not had a tournament in the past due to participation numbers, but with five schools, they were able to have it this year. Columbiana held off United, Southern Local, Lisbon, and East Palestine.

County Championships

One of the newer trends is for teams to play for supremacy in their own counties. Stark County has been hosting a tournament for years, although it was rained out this season. Trumbull County, Portage County, Columbiana County, and Summit County have all joined the trend, either already hosting or about to host their respective tournaments.

Division 2 Sectional Sites

The first ever Northeast District seeding meetings took place this past Tuesday and went very smooth. Teams not seeded were placed geographically at Sectional sites. Division 2 sites are up on the Northeast District Athletic Board website while Division 1 seeding will take place this coming Tuesday.

Fox Den Golf Course

This week we would like to spotlight Fox Den Golf Course in Stow. Fox Den hosts multiple high school teams, several conference tournaments, other tournaments, and a girls Sectional Tournament. Head professional Joe Vojtko summed up his philosophy on hosting high school teams and events, “Who do you think is going to come play the course in the future?” This attitude shows why Fox Den is such a popular destination for golfers young and old. Thank you to Joe Vojtko, Brian Suydam, and the entire staff at Fox Den for all they do for high school golf.
