The Lac La Biche Golf & Country Club is a difficult course to play when conditions are good but today's weather added another challenging element.
"The cold, wet and rainy conditions made an already difficult golf course play extremely difficult," said Head Coach Scott Bergdahl. "The weather got the best of most golfers today."
Day two of the ACAC Golf Championship continues Sunday at the Lac La Biche Golf & Country Club where the Red Deer College Golf team aims to move up the leaderboard.
