A variety of conditions led to the Garner-Hayfield-Ventura girls recording their highest team score of the season at the Armstrong meet held on Monday, April 24.  The course was rated as par-38, the fairways were very narrow with out-of-bounds being a potential factor on most holes and there were some very high wind gusts.
