That film opened worldwide on May 19, 2006. Three days earlier, Minnewaska's girls' golf team last settled for a runner-up finish.

That was 60 matches/tournaments ago. SIXTY!

The Lakers hit the big milestone last night, at a West Central Conference meet at Island Pine Golf Club in Atwater.

Since that last second-place finish, Minnewaska has accomplished the following en route to four straight state titles:

2007: 18

2008: 17

2009: 18

2010 (so far): 3
