CRAIG — High school girls golf has a sense of camaraderie that many sports do not.
At Tuesday’s Bulldog Invite in Craig, the golfers weren’t keeping secrets from each other.
Steamboat Springs freshman Quin Yeager, a Moffat County player, and a pair of Palisade golfers were sharing tips and encouragement even though they were competing with one another.
“You have more room left if you want to go more left,” Yeager told a competitor who was taking a provisional shot to make up for one that flew right out of bounds.
Yeager said that sort of banter doesn’t always happen but was frequent during Tuesday’s invitational.
“It all depends on the girls that you’re with. Some of them get really competitive about it,” Yeager said. “But it’s pretty typical.”
Helping each other out, the four girls were able to play through tough holes and ended up doing well.
Yeager was 19th with 121 strokes. With just two individual players, the Sailors didn’t record a team score but were coming off a win from Monday’s event in Glenwood Springs.
