Heritage Oaks Golf course is set to host the Class 3 (Monday) and Class 4 (Tuesday ) State Golf tournaments. Carroll County High School 🏫 golfer Trace Reavis is set to represent both the Cavaliers and The Hill for the second consecutive year.
As the Senior is preparing for the round of Golf ⛳ that will be his final official round, he will do so under the watchful eye of Carroll County Head Coach, Jeremy Ogle. Proud Parents, Mr and Mrs Eddie Reavis will be taking in the action 🎬 as well.
Golf ⛳ officially gets underway at 8am with Trace teeing off shortly after. The damp weather on Sunday should have soften the greens and the temperature 🌡 is projected to be in the Mid 50’s to Low 60’s.
Heritage Oaks is a golf course that I have played a couple dozen times over the years and the number one thing to know about the course is that its scorable. It’s not about the driver here today, it will be about ones ability to throw darts at the flag stick.
We will pick this back up soon, from the Golf Course ⛳.
