(May 24, 2023) — The Haddam-Killingworth Golf team competed on May 23, 2023, in the Shoreline Conference Championship, placing third with a strong finish to the conference slate.
All five HK golfers were within nine strokes of each other, fulfilling the season-long theme of consistency and unity. This was a deep team that had a rotating cast of heroes this season. We needed each golfer to step up at various points, and they really delivered on that front.
