The Liberal High School Girls Golf Team traveled to Dodge City on Monday, September 8th, to participate in arguably one of the top tournaments in the state, certainly in the Western half of Kansas. With seven of the KSHSAA “25 Girls Golfers to Watch in 2022” participating, the Dodge City Girls Golf Tournament lived up to the anticipation.
“Playing short-handed today, on a very challenging Mariah Hills Golf Course, and in hot conditions, I was really proud of how the girls played today and represented Liberal High School,” said Coach Luallen. “We’re showing improvement in several areas that should soon be reflected in our scores. But first, we have to build some confidence in ourselves.”
LHS Girls Golf Team returns to action on Monday, September 12th, when they host their own Liberal Invitational at Willow Tree Golf Course with a shot-gun start scheduled at 3 pm.
