Groesbeck golfers open season tying for first in Blackcat Invitational
Wed, 02/19/2020 - 11:00pm
New Groesbeck golf coach and athletic trainer Alan “Doc” Davis got off to a great start in his debut as a golf coach when six boys on the Goat team went to the Blackcat Invitational at the Tri County Golf Club on February 10 and tied the Whitney Wildcats for first place. The bad weather forced the Invitational to be called after only 15 holes had been played. The finish was then determined based on the results after the first nine holes. Groesbeck and Whitney were tied with 180 scores each. It was determined after two playoff holes that Whitney won and Groesbeck finished in second place. In addition to those two, four other boys teams competed including host Mexia.
