Girls golf: Edgerton captures first-ever WIAA State Girls Golf Championship
MADISON — After 36 holes of action at University Ridge Golf Course, the Edgerton girls golf team can call themselves WIAA state champions. With a two-day score of 667 (+91), the Crimson Tide ran away with the WIAA Division 2 Team Championship over the likes of Edgewood, Saint Croix Central, Seymour and others. The Tiders ended up 23 strokes ahead of the field to capture the school’s first-ever girls team golf title and second-ever team golf title in general. “God is good,” an emotional Alex Scharr, head coach of the Crimson Tide, said after the championship-clinching round. “It’s just been such a heavy, emotional year with so much going on… Just being able to grit through that and to have this kind of ending, it’s pretty awesome.” Only the 2026 Edgerton girls and the 2012 Edgerton boys have brought home gold as a team from the state tournament. “This has been a great year, and it’s certainly a historic one for Edgerton,” Scharr added. “We’ve got history makers here, and I just can’t stop saying enough good things about this group right now.” The Crimson Tide entered Tuesday’s final round in extremely familiar territory. Just a year ago at the

Girls golf: Edgerton carries 13-stroke lead into final day of WIAA State Championships
MADISON — The Edgerton girls golf team once again finds itself 18 holes away from hoisting its first-ever WIAA State Team Championship. After a solid opening round on Monday, October 12 at University Ridge Golf Course in Madison, the Crimson Tide carry a 13-stroke lead into Tuesday’s final day of action. The Tiders shot a team score of 342 (+54) to open the State Tournament, out-shooting the likes of Edgewood’s 355 (+67) and Seymour’s 359 (+71). “I thought the girls played well,” Edgerton head coach Alex Scharr said. “The girls responded really well today to the fanfare of the moment. The girls have just been locked in all season, and I think we learned a lot from last season.” Nearly one year ago to the day, Edgerton held a seven-stroke lead after the opening day of the 2025 State Championships. Spooner, the eventual Division 2 state champions, then shot a blazing-hot 335 on day two to steal the state title away from the Crimson Tide. It marked the second runner-up finish for the Edgerton girls team at state, the other coming in 2009. The Tiders have yet to capture girls golf gold at state. Scharr knows that this year’s team,

Aubrey Molaison steaks — er, stakes — herself to five-stroke lead after opening round; Edgerton takes team lead for second year in a row
MADISON — Behind the pleasant smile, Lake Country Lutheran golf cap and trademark pink shoes of Aubrey Molaison growls the stomach of a champion. That's why her "Road To The Ridge" was a little different than everyone else's. Molaison got wind there was a Texas Roadhouse five miles from University Ridge so she paid a visit Sunday night with her family before she spent Monday with her golf family and switched to a steady diet of birdies.

Century-old Madison golf course to get $9M renovation
Maple Bluff Country Club is planning a $9 million renovation with help from a U.S. Open golf course designer. The Madison-area course, set to close in 2027 during construction, has seen its fair share of players over its more-than-100-year-history, but it’s time to make some changes and do some maintenance, according to the club’s latest master plan. The basic course layout has been the same for more than half a century, since 1967, and Josh LePine, the club’s certified golf course superintendent, argues now is the time to change that.
