Fourth-grader Lauren Slatton is showing her skills on the golf course.In recent conference tournament golf action at McMinnville Country Club, Slatton emerged as the overall winner in girls competition with a nine-hole score of 48. The score earned her the individual conference title competing against a field of girls primarily in grades 7-8.Head coach Bryan Matheney had this to say about Slatton.“What Lauren did is unheard of. A girl that age isn’t supposed to shoot 48 much less win the whole thing.
