Eight students from Oak Bay High braved the cool and rainy weather at Victoria Golf Club last week in a round of tryouts for the school’s team.

Oak Bay’s team will compete this spring at local and Vancouver Island school tournaments, with the ultimate goal of qualifying for the 2019 provincials hosted in Squamish this June.
