White hot from the white tees

Lancaster golfer Scott Roberts, the five-time Lancaster Golf Club champion, continues his links assault on the LGC records.

Then on Tuesday, the former Buford High School golf standout, a 1989 BHS graduate and Lancaster High School golf coach, notched another milestone, shooting a 60 from the white tees, playing 6,100 yards over 18 holes.

Letter: Protect your children,...

As Americans, we average about seven mass shootings a week.
We’re worried about people coming into this country when we should be worried about who is already here.
But gun control isn’t an issue?
