Class 3A boys golf notes: Day 2
That was a crazy couple of days, huh Clark County golf fans? All spring, we had great weather. I believe we only suffered through two or three days of baseball or softball rainouts this year. It was the best spring for sports in at least five years. And then this. When Clark County is hosting […]
