The girls golf team finished a season that head coach Doyle Knight called memorable, with a 6-4 record. 

“We improved a lot by score — their putting and their chipping was a lot better by the end of the season,” Knight said. “Our average strokes were getting lower and lower. They shaved off about 30 strokes every time.”

Although the team played well, Knight he saw room for improvement in a number of areas.

“We lost some of the matches we probably should have won, but unfortunately everyone has some bad days,” Knight said. “We probably would’ve been in second or first place in the league if we hadn’t lost two of the games we should have won, but in the end it’s golf, so it’s not like they didn’t try — they just had a bad day.”

Junior Devon Kardwell said the team’s mood had a big effect on their ability to play well.

“If you get in a bad mindset or you have a couple bad games, sometimes it would be hard to get out of the bad mindset,” Kartwell said. “Sometimes you have a bad hole, but you just have to keep your head up and don’t let it affect you.”

But Kartwell said the team’s close knit community was a helpful support system and got her through the season.

“Everyone is really close on the team, especially because of how small the teams are, so you get really close with your teammates,” Kartwell said. “It was very fun — we would get boba after if we won, and the environment was just the best.”

Knight said he is proud of the team’s accomplishments.

“I didn’t know exactly what to expect, but the team really pulled through, and they all put a lot of time and effort in to get better,” Knight said. “I was very impressed by their performance, and I’m excited for what next season brings.”
