The Toombs County High School men’s golf team continued its busy spring schedule with strong competition across two recent tournaments, highlighted by a historic performance from senior Drew Woodruff.

The Bulldogs first traveled to Sunset Country Club in Moultrie on Saturday, March 28, where they competed against a deep field of teams. Toombs County posted a team score of 338, finishing 13th out of 33 teams.

Leading the way for the Dawgs was Gavin Ward, who turned in a solid round of 78. Senior Vick Moore followed with an 81, while Drew Woodruff contributed an 89 and Noah Anken added a 90 to round out the team scoring.

Just two days later, the Bulldogs traveled to Columbus to compete in the 49th Annual Larry Gaither Invitational, one of the longestrunning high school golf tournaments in the country. The prestigious two-day event features strong programs from across the region and provided another opportunity for the Dawgs to test themselves against top competition.

Toombs County opened the tournament with an impressive 314, highlighted by a historic round from senior Drew Woodruff, who fired a 1-under par 71. The round marked the first under-par tournament round in school history, a milestone achievement for the program. Supporting scores on day one included Rhys Ward (78), Noah Anken (82), and Vick Moore (83).

On the second day of competition, the Bulldogs posted a 327 team score. Woodruff again led the team with a 79, followed by Vick Moore with an 80, while Gavin Ward and Noah Anken each carded rounds of 84.

The Dawgs will return to action on Monday, April 13, when they compete in the Cadet Four Ball at historic Savannah Golf Club, hosted by Benedictine Military School.

With the postseason approaching, Toombs County continues to build momentum while gaining valuable experience against some of the top teams in the region.
