Guilderland girls — five of them — have their own golf team for the first time this year since Section 2 of the New York State Public High School Athletic Association has recognized girls’ golf as a sport. The girls were on the links this week along with the Guilderland boys’ team and the Voorheesville boys — all hoping to earn a shot for this summer's state tournament.
