Senior Rachel Bruemmer puts her putter into her golf bag after hole five at Links at Dardenne on Sept. 19. The Knights won their first match of the year 199 – 217.

After three years of playing volleyball for the Knights, senior Rachel Bruemmer, following a four-year hiatus from the sport, has made the switch to golf for her final year at North.

“I played [golf] in middle school,” Bruemmer said. “I played from fifth grade to eighth grade with my dad and with my sister.”

Bruemmer has many goals for the season, some including skill-focused and others pinpointing her year in general.

“[I want to be able] to be able to play at districts and to play as much as I can,” Bruemmer said. “I just hope to have a good experience and close out my senior year. I just want to do my best and have fun.”

Bruemmer’s ambitions haven’t gone unnoticed. Her coach, Nikki Brinkman, has taken note of her improvements.

“We are happy to have Rachel in our program,” Brinkman said. “She is one of our two seniors this year. She has done well and earned herself a spot in our varsity lineup.”

Many of her teammates are also very happy to have her on the team this year.

“She is very outgoing and just brings up the team’s spirit and makes golf more fund,” junior golfer, Olivia Graeser said. “She is just very wise and also very and always wants to do the right thing so she makes me want to be a better person to others.”
