WICHITA - The return to a familiar golf course proved to be beneficial on Monday for the Garden City High School girls’ golf team.Playing at Sim Park Golf Course in Wichita, the site where they had competed earlier in the fall season at the Wichita North Invitational, the Buffs secured their ticket to the Class 6A state tournament next week by placing second behind new 6A powerhouse Maize High to earn one of the four team qualifying spots at the regional qualifier.Maize finished with a team score of 322 to easily outdistance the Buffs’ score of 369, which in turn was well ahead of third-place Wichita Southeast’s 396.
