Call it a shootout at the old Wild Horse, and may the best golfers win.

The 2026 Plains Invitational golf tournament is set to tee off at the Wild Horse Golf Course approximately 10 a.m. Friday. “It’s all frost dependent,” Plains coach Lisa Brown offered about the tee time in light of recent weather conditions in the area. “But it should be a great day for golf according to the weather forecast.”

Teams from Thompson Falls, St. Regis, Superior, Eureka, Florence, Darby, Seeley-Swan and Loyola are also expected to compete, along with the Horsemen and Trotters in the Plains Invite, one of the longer running prep golf tournaments in western Montana.

Brown said that her golfers participated in the Florence/Darby Invitational in Hamilton March 31. Jarrett Weeks carded an 88 and finished 17th among the boys to lead Plains.

She said that several other Plains golfers played but that that their scores were perhaps not up to par as far as publishing goes she joked. “They didn’t golf bad,” she said. “They just didn’t score well.”

Here’s to golfing and scoring well at the Plains Invitational then Lisa, and good luck to all area golfers at Wild Horse Friday.
