Recap
Winner winner chicken dinner!!!!
Jackson , MI — Awesome day at the Grande golf club today!!! The girls participated in the third jamboree of the season under perfect weather conditions. This track is not an easy one to walk. Hilly and long distance between holes.
As a coach I see the work in practice spilling over to the matches. Placing 4 girls in the top 12 will almost always end in a good result!!!!
Ella Dekker has shown steady improvement from the beginning of the season and after starting her round with a good poker hand of a pair of 10s, she settled down and came in with a solid 60 for 12th overall.
Danni Swihart played speed golf today!!! Heard many comments on how well she hit the ball today and playing with some girls that have played a lot of golf can be intimidating. She held her own and came in with a 57!!
Next was Summer “I know how to catch a guppy” Barnaby. I have proof now!!! She played her normal round of golf today……oh look there is a bird in the sky…….hammer the drive down the middle. You can always tell where her group is at. She came in at 53 today for 5th overall!!! She is turned into a reliable score that I can count on each match.
Drew Swihart…….what can I say……she surprises even herself at times. After going through a tough stretch of golf last week she has found her swing and carded a 48 today for runner up overall. The greens on this course are undulating and were playing quick as putting on linoleum!! I watched her make some putts today that were definitely something to be proud of.
Sophia Donders and Abby Barnaby played today. I am seeing vast improvement in both of their games as we get farther in to the season. They gained valuable experience on the course in match conditions which hopefully they will build on and continue the upward trend in their games.
I can’t begin the explain how proud I am of each and every one of these girls. Each one is improved from the beginning of the season and I see good things for the rest of the season. Our conference has had 3 different winners in 3 jamborees. We are half way through the league jamborees so it’s anybody's league to be taken. The conference is definitely up for grabs!!!
