The Scoop: News and notes from around junior golf in Wisconsin

If you haven’t circled May 14 on your calendar, do it now.

It’s the only time during the high school golf postseason that we’re guaranteed to see DeForest and Waunakee on the same course at the same time. It will be during the Badger Large Conference Championship at Door Creek Golf Course in Cottage Grove.

After that, the two rivals whose schools are 11 miles apart would have to both qualify for the WIAA Division 1 state tournament to see each other again. Of course, after what they did Saturday in their respective divisions of the MACC Fund Invitational, that might be a showdown worth the price of admission.

DeForest won the Erin Hills portion of the annual fundraiser for Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer (MACC Fund) featuring 56 four-player teams on two courses. All four of its golfers broke 80 — led by runner-up Lincoln Hottmann (68) — as the Norskies shot 295 and topped River Falls by 11 shots to take the team title with Holmen (310) and West De Pere (311) close behind.

Waunakee won the portion of the competition contested at The Club at Lac La Belle in Oconomowoc. Sophomore Peyton Albers (68) and senior KC Nickel (69) finished 1-2 as the Warriors fired a 291 to win what amounted to a shootout over Oconomowoc (297), Germantown (298) and Waukesha North (298).

The two schools have played head-to-head in three invitationals and three Badger Large mini-meets. Waunakee has had the upper hand in four of those six meetings, but Milton — champion of Friday’s Beloit Invitational — has taken its turns going back-and-forth with both schools, too, going (by our count) 4-3 in head-to-head meetings with DeForest and 4-4 mano-a-mano with Waunakee.

Next up: All three will square off Wednesday in the final Badger Large mini-meet of the season on the Red Hawks’ home course at Oak Ridge GC in Milton.
