GOLF

DIVISION II TOURNEY PPD

The Division II golf team tournament, set for today at Sky Meadow in Nashua, has been postponed due to the inclement weather the region is experiencing. The Division IV tourney at Kingswood Golf Club was postponed as well. The NHIAA made the announcement Wednesday.

“After consulting with the golf courses, the New Hampshire Golf Association (NHGA), and the latest weather report, the high winds and heavy rain forecasted for Wednesday evening and all day Thursday will make the courses unplayable/hazardous to all competitors,” the NHIAA said in a release issued Wednesday afternoon.

The announcement did not include any rescheduling, and the NHIAA announced Thursday morning both tournaments will not be rescheduled and top seed Kennett, by virtue of wins over tournament teams, gets the nod for the Division II title with Hollis Brookline the runnerup.
