MINSTER - The Ada golf team played a tri-match to tee off its season at the Arrowhead Golf Club in Minster.

Riverside won the event with a total of 211 strokes. New Bremen shot 217, while Ada tallied a 233 score. 

"It was great to get back out and play again," said veteran Bulldog head golf coach Jason Campbell. "The team understands what it meant to be the first Ada team to play a game (since the pandemic hit). And how important it was to set a good example."

Jacob Morgan and Andrew Rush paced the Bulldogs with identical nine-hole scores of 56. Kamron Wilkerson carded a 60, while Dexter Woods registered a 61.

Jack Baumgartner carded a 65, while Geddes Klingler posted a round of 70 for Ada.

It was reported that all players wore masks on the first hole, then took them off for the final eight holes while maintaining social distance on the fairways and greens.
