“I felt the girls did really well yesterday! Most of them improved their averages and seemed to enjoy the day. Our play is definitely getting smoother all the way around,” stated Coach Held. “Highlights were that the Varsity won this triangular beating out Stanton by one point! As a team they dropped 8 strokes from the.previous triangular! Senior, Emilie Hajek and Junior, Halle Korth were in a four-way tie for 2nd place. All of our varsity members scored in the top 10, which is also great!”
Junior Halle Korth said, “The girls’ golf team had a great time competing in the triangular that was held in Leigh. The Clarkson Leigh Patriots ended up getting first as a team. Emilie Hijak and I were included in a four-way tie for second, which was really exciting. There couldn't have been a better outcome for this triangular and I can't see what the rest of the season has in store for us!”
