The Dover High School golf team wrapped up their regular season with a stellar 26-4 record, and you absolutely love to see it! They’re locked in as the expected No. 3 seed heading into next week’s Division I team championship at Canterbury Woods Country Club. That’s a fantastic run, setting them up for what could be a wild ride in the championship.
Ty Buchanan Carries the Load as Dover Eyes the Prize
Just yesterday, the team hit Pease Golf for a four-team Division I match, and Ty Buchanan went off! He shot a ridiculous 1-under-par 35. That’s clutch golf right there. Dover snagged second place in the match, tying with Pinkerton Academy with team scores of 199. Pinkerton took the tiebreaker, but hey, that’s still a strong showing. Nashua North posted a 215, and Nashua South a 216. Buchanan wasn’t the only one bringing it either: Michael Gorman added a solid 38, Brayden Patel shot a 40, Sam MacGregor hit a 41, and both Ryan Sawyer and Declan Fitzgerald put up 45s. This crew is performing when it matters.
