Coach Addison Patrick feels as though the team has improved a lot throughout the year for both Varsity and JV. Drew Christensen and Jalen Nelson have been on the varsity squad for two years. Christensen states that he loves the sport and when asked about his thoughts on golf he replies with, “It’s relaxing, and a fun time to kick back and have a good time after two hard sports seasons.”
Freshmen Micky Williamson and Garrett Inman have really made an impact on the varsity team this year. Senior Nick Andreason, who has never played golf before, has also been on the varsity team often this year.
Coach Patrick has been teaching the athletes to really work on 100 yards and in. He said that a majority of their golf shots come around the green so they have been working a lot trying to limit their putts to two per hole. “I have used an iPad app to help with the guy’s golf swing which has showed some progress as they are hitting the ball a lot better than they were at the beginning of the season,” said Patrick. Overall the team has improved their scores all year by making it a goal to improve everyday at practice and meets. Everyone except Andreason will be returning for next year’s golf season to achieve higher goals and become more skilled at swinging those golf clubs.
