Congratulations to the Commack girls varsity golf team on their 9-0 win over Hills East. Great job.

Ahh, golf. Beautiful landscapes, gorgeous weather, golf ball ricocheting off your lens hood. Doesn’t get any better than this. This match was played at Crab Meadow. Due to time limitations they can only complete 9 holes before it starts getting dark. Which leads me to my first recommendation … Try to schedule a golf shoot as early, for fall boys golf, or...
