Golf season gets off to a slow start

Date:

by Kelsey Buchholz, GHS Golf Head Coach

            It has been a slow start to the season as we have battled the weather more than we've battled the courses. Because of the crazy weather we have had one meet. It was April 13 in Yankton. But luckily, we have been able to optimize practices, getting lots of swings inside. However, it doesn't truly replace the feel of a stroke on grass with a real golf ball. We are optimistic that we are going to get these upcoming meets in and are looking forward to a little more cooperation with the weather.

            Our boys' team looks really different last year as we only bring back on golfer with varsity experience, Dylan Jessen. However, there is a lot of raw talent from other golfers on the squad. I'm really excited to see their progression throughout the season as they all compete for positions on varsity.

            Our girls' team on the other hand is very consistent. We bring back four girls with state experience, including Autumn Gaspar, Maci Rotert, and Addi Hove. We also get to have Grace Hove hit the links again this year as she missed last year due to injury. All of these girls are competitive, persistent, and have high expectations for themselves. Once we get out on the links consistently, I wouldn't be surprised to see them shave off a handful of strokes from their averages last year. All of them are really determined to improve their game.

            It's going to be a great season. There is a great crew of golfers in seventh through twelfth grade and all these student-athletes bring a positive energy to practice and have already shown immense potential.
