Right: Senior Terry Patton lines one up in a practice round at Dimond Oaks Country Club. The HHS golf team under the ex- pert leadership of coach Ronnie Pipes played in four pre-district tournaments and represented Hal- tom well at all four. The first tournament was hosted by Arling- ton High School where we got sixth place, and Terry Patton registered the team low of 76, Then we slipped a little at the Southwest Recreational Tourna- ment and the Wichita Falls Tour- naments failing to make the cut for the finals. In the last pre- district tournament, at Rolling Hills golf course, the Haltom golfers took third place; Brad Hig- gins was low with a 6 over 77. The team was really looking for- ward to the three district tourna- ments. m H ft H F ; . Above: Senior Terry Jones picks up a successful putt.

Buffs stake claim on fourth When district play came around the Haltom linksters must have been ready because they went out and grabbed a fourth place right off the bat. Our golfers went to Mineral Wells for the first tourney and finished behind only Rider, Wichita Falls, and Mineral Wells. For the second tournament in the three district decid- ing tournaments the Buffs traveled to Wichita Falls. They finished up fourth again. They then prepared to return back to Dimond Oaks Country Club for the third and final district tournament.
