District golf results

The Dripping Springs golf teams participated in the District 26-5A golf tournament held at the Vaaler's golf course near Blanco. In golf, it is a brutal battle to be able to advance to the regional tourney. Only two teams get to qualify for that honor. For the second year in a row, the DS Tigers found themselves just on the outside looking in as the third place finisher. In addition to the top two teams, the top two golfers not on those teams also advance to regional. Tanner Wardlaw was the No. 2 overall medalist and therefore is the lone Tiger to advance and certainly has a good chance to play well enough to make it to state. On a historical side note, Tanner's grandfather, Olen Wardlaw, played on the first Tiger golf team in 1966 along with Poe Shelton, Greg Phillips, Bill Crisp and Gary Garnett. Their effort netted the first district championship team in golf. The Lady Tigers struggled mightily at the district tourney.
