Davenport Country Club

highs and stuff

right yeah yeah like the just i think they ended up they probably played a really easy course for district and then they went to davenport country club and they got vaporized like a harder test of golf and this high school team just like got bodied you know feeling pressure they couldn't even spit randy So I think it's unfair that we're immediately jumping to these guys cheated because in the article that you linked here, it's just like, yeah, how is this? Basically, how is this possible that a team could have this big of a Dr.

Jekyll and Mr. Hyde situation? I'm like, I don't know, man.

It's golf.

Like, if they cheated, it was like they cooked the books at the district tournament.

It's basically what's being implied with this discussion.

The Davenport Country Club.

Yeah.

It's much easier than that.

Davenport Country Club is hard.

It's a top three, four course in Iowa.

So these kids aren't used to playing that level of course.

Battling for a trophy finish, the boys golf teams from both Pleasant Valley and North Scott High Schools showed plenty of grit right to the end on Tuesday.

When the IHSAA Class 4A Boys Golf Championships were finally all said and done, Pleasant Valley tied its best state finish in school history, placing second with a 306 and 290 for a 596 total.

North Scott had a 597, earned its loftiest state finish, taking home the third place trophy.

I think I knew that I liked some of the courses that were being recommended to me.

I think, um, seeing some stuff in the Midwest, like La Sonia, um, and Davenport Country Club.

I definitely knew that there was this world I could enter.

Um, but you, you could probably say I was hedging with other options too.

He's pretty dominant out there.

[laughs] Yeah.

Um, uh, you, you mentioned La Conia and Davenport.

I, I was curious, um, you know, you grew up in Iowa, um, and, and you're one of the, you know, younger people in the profession of golf architecture.

Dateline, Davenport.

The Hawks are making their fifth state trip, and the fourth since 2020.

Right.

And we still, we still, you know, um, the funny thing, like Davenport Country Club, you know, we rebuilt that place in 2014.
