THE PLEASANT VALLEY SPARTAN BOYS CLOSE OUT 2025 WITH 4TH PLACE FINISH! 306-307 613 TOTAL AT HYPERION FIELD CLUB
The dream of an undefeated season came to an end at Hyperion Field Club in Johnston, IA. The boys battled to the end but the undulating and lightning fast greens provided a big challenge and was ultimately the deciding factor. A season that included record low performances by 7 different varsity competitors, 123 wins and just 3 losses, school records being smashed by both an individual and the team were just a few of the highlights. 6 seniors will be ending their high school career and we would like to thank them for their hours of work trying to improve. Ben Livingston, Grant Sherrick, Charlie Dumas, Carter Berg, Dillon Kraus and Jackson Crock-Sibbing have finished out their Spartan career. Like others before them, excellence is not given to one, but earned by "getting better everyday."

The Iowa Golf Association held a certified seminar that went over the many changes to the rules this year. Knowing the rules is always to your favor and these young men and women are more prepared because of attending the seminar. We would like to thank Bill Eby of Davenport C.C. and Chad Pitts of the Iowa Golf Association for their fine work. We also thank John Panek, PGA for hosting the event along with the membership of Davenport C.C. It was a very enjoyable learning experience for all.
