Wolf Point Fields Solid Golf Squad This Season

Wolf Point’s golf team looks for a solid season with the return of six golfers from last year’s squad.

Back for the Wolves are Gaige Bushman, Abel Garfield, Trevin Boysun, Logan Bushman- Corne, Jesse Fettig and Callan Fox.

“The returning players should do fairly well,” Wolf Point coach Rodney Paulson said.

Bushman, Garfield and Boysun each came close to qualifying for the state tournament last year.

Paulson noted that Fox has been playing quite a bit of golf during the off season.

The coach is pleased with the turnout of 14 golfers including one girl. Ryver Summers is the lone member of the girls’ team.

“We have a lot of young kids out,” Paulson said.

The Wolves will open their season at home on Thursday, April 21.

“It’s kind of a comfort factor being able to play on your home course,” Paulson said.

He is thankful for the nicer than normal weather during pre-season practices.

“I’m optimistic on the weather,” Paulson said. “It’s nice to be outside and not starting in the gym.”

He sees Shelby, Glasgow and Malta as the top boys’ teams in the division.

The divisional meet is scheduled for May 10 in Malta. The top 15 individuals and top four teams qualify for the state meet.
