Last Wednesday, Oct. 14, the girls golf team placed fourth at GACs and sophomore Erika Pack took sixth as an individual. With only a father-daughter round to follow, the team has basically finished their season.

As the girls look back on the year, they have a positive outlook on the competitions they entered – especially
the Knight Cup, their home golf tournament – along with their own individual improvement. With a new coach and a few new players added to the team, the team felt confident going into things.

“We have done really well so far,” freshman Sarah Creeley said. “We won most of our matches so I think we have done pretty good.”

As a returning player, junior Ashley Trautman worked really hard to help her teammates improve their scores, which in turn, further helped the team.

“Our returning players know what they are doing,” Trautman said. “We help the newer players improve their game. In the long run it helps the team a lot. We win more matches and just have a good time.”

Last year, coach James Allison helped coach the boys’ golf team. This year, however, is Allison’s first year coaching the girls’ golf team. He was impressed with the girls and their ability
to work together.

“The team has a really really good chemistry and they help each other out when they need to,” Allison said.
Although the girls worked hard and concentrated on improvement, they liked to take time to grow together as a team and grow closer as friends.

“Driving to the away matches was always the best,” Creeley said. “We really got a chance to sit down and talk to each other and make a lot of good memories together.”

Not only did the girls enjoy spending all of their time together, but Allison himself enjoyed playing golf and spending time with the girls.

“It is a lot of fun [coaching the girls team],” Allison said. “I like coaching because all of the girls are fun and golf is a sport I have a passion for. This team has a really good chemistry between them which makes the overall season so much better.”
