KCU Golf Opens with Tough Weather Conditions

March 6, 2019

Fletcher, NC – The Kentucky Christian golf teams opened their spring seasons with much tougher weather conditions than they typically would find in a tournament located in North Carolina, but that is the hand that had been dealt.

Scoring conditions were very difficult for the 2019 Cavalier Spring Invitational at the Broadmoor Golf Links, with temperatures only reaching the upper 30's along with the accompanying wind-chill associated with the consistent 15 mph winds. With extremely high scores, due in part to the difficult playing conditions and the limited team practices due to poor weather for the month of February, both squads were facing an uphill battle during the two-day event.

Matthew Miller led the Knights with a two-day total of 169 and Madeline Vonlinger lead the Lady Knights with a total of 190.
