GRUNDY CENTER – Treating every hole like a new experience worked out for Lauren Dirks.
 
She delivered the only round below 90 at Town and Country in Grundy Center on Monday, turning in an 87 for medalist honors as the Spartan girls moved on to a Class 1A regional final in Brooklyn next Monday, May 20.
 
"Driving, chipping and putting all worked well," Dirks said. "And just thinking about each hole as a new hole really helped. … The second half I felt like I kept improving and it helped me get to my goal."

I’m always hesitant to latch on to any cultural phenomenon, which probably explains why I’ve never seen any of the “Star Wars” movies and watched about half of the first “Avengers” before realizing I had at least 20 more to catch up on before I could actually consider myself a fan.
