It seems that every family has some sort of characteristic that sets them apart from all of the others.


For the Trautman family, that one thing just so happens to be playing golf. Former FHN students Kim Trautman and her older sister are beyond high school, but still love to participate in the sport. Their sister Ashley is now a sophomore and enjoys playing on North’s team.
“It is just another thing for us to compete at and help each other out at,” Kim said. “I help her and she helps me but, when we play, we love to compete.”

Ashley is working to break some of Kim’s records at North and also reach the State level like she did last fall.
“I’m trying to beat my sister this year and get a hole in one, but that is going to be very hard,” Ashley said. “My goal for this year is to
shoot in the lower 40s.”

After already placing in her first three matches, Ashley is consistently working hard to keep her performance level up and her number of strokes down. She takes the knowledge that has been passed down to her from family members as well as from her coach, Paul Otto, to be successful.
“Other than just qualifying for State, I hope the whole experience will provide her with fantastic memories so that she chooses to make golf a life- long sport,” Otto said.
