Mountain Foothills 7 Conference golfers couldn’t have asked for a better afternoon Thursday.
A sunny, 73-degree afternoon provided the backdrop as conference golfers tackled Tryon Country Club. It proved to be a good day for Hendersonville as the Bearcats claimed an 18-stroke win over East Rutherford in the opening league match of the season.
Hunter Toney’s 79 led Hendersonville to a team total of 336, topping the Cavaliers’ 354. R-S Central and chase followed, with Polk County taking fifth on a soggy TCC course still drying from Wednesday’s rain.
