It has really been an up-and-down season for the Lady Dinos golf team. The match at Carbon was supposed to be the fifth match of the season, but due to weather issues the match at Delta has been canceled and will not be made up, there will also be weeks that there will be two matches to get back on track before the Region 12 championships take place on April 29.
