Platte County dropped a heartbreaker on Wednesday, April 4 at the Posse Course at Paradise Pointe Golf Complex in Smithville, Mo.
The Pirates lost 179-180 in a dual with Smithville on the Warriors’ home course. The team was in their first dual of the season thanks to early year weather woes.
“It was a tough day for the golf team today,” Pirates coach Trevor Short said. “We did not play very well as a whole and the results did not turn out as we had hoped. This was our first regular season match and we had bit of a rough time. We did gain some experience on a course that we will see again on Monday for the Oak Park Invitational and when we return for the Sectional Tournament later in the season.”
