DV golfers perform well at recent events

The end of May brought cool weather and windy conditions that disrupted the end of regular season play for girls high school golf in South Dakota. The regional meet for the Panthers was held on May 23, 2025 and the Madison Invite/DAK 12 conference meet had to be moved back to Tuesday, May 27, 2025. Typically the state golf meet will be the only competition held after a region meet, but Mother Nature made other plans for the calendar. Dakota Valley sent golfers to both events and performed well.
