MILWAUKEE — Kade Wieland didn't arrive where he did Thursday without a few meaningful stops along the way, and his journey to the winner's circle at Brown Deer Park Golf Course took the Milton golfer past one of them this week. Noyes Park GC sits about four miles due west of the 18th green at Brown Deer Park GC and it was one of Wieland's first stops 10 years ago when, at age 6, he made the rounds for the first time on the Milwaukee County Par-3 Tour.

MILWAUKEE — On a scale from moist to wringing wet, Kade Wieland probably felt like someone just this side of baptized Wednesday as he finished the long and rainy first round of the WPGA Boys Junior Championship at The Wisconsin Country Club. Against that most soggy of backdrops, suffice it to say the Milton golfer could not have felt a greater sense of satisfaction over his good day's work.

FOND DU LAC — The knockout round of the 51st annual Wisconsin State Match Play Championship doesn't start until Wednesday, but it was tough to tell by the dazed looks among some familiar faces gathered behind the 18th green Tuesday at South Hills Golf & Country Club. Defending champion Adam Garski was waiting for his elimination to become official. Three-time Wisconsin State Player of the Year Jack Schultz had just come up short in a playoff.

BEAVER DAM — Lola Appleby had just been offered a relevant sample of Wisconsin junior golf history from none other than former U.S. Ryder Cup captain Steve Stricker, who was impressed that the 13-year-old opponent of his daughter, Izzi, was holding her own well into the back nine Tuesday at Old Hickory Golf Club during the quarterfinals of the Wisconsin State Women's Match Play Championship.
