It became the center of Georgia high school golf Monday with 10 classification championships being determined on 10 courses within Richmond County.
“There’s no doubt it felt pretty special to be down there,” Dalton boys’ coach Chad Jordan said. “There were teams from across the state that were playing on almost every course in the county.”
Seven teams from northwestern Georgia competed with state titles on the line. None them pulled off upset victories, but they all played well.
“Having their name announced before they tee off is something pretty neat,” North Murray coach Keith Robinette said. “It’s cool hearing, ‘Brandon Parrish, North Murray High School,’ then the sound of his driver.”
