With the winter weather finally coming to an end, the Hinckley Finlayson golf team will open their 2018 season with a home meet at Grand National Golf Course on Tuesday, May 1st. The team has already had to cancel three meets due to weather complications, but are hoping to start off their season with some low scores and take advantage of playing on their home course. This season, both the girls and boys teams grades 7-12, will have 25 total team members. They welcome back 16 returning golfers, nine of which are varsity letter winners and are also adding nine first time golfers. Both teams will rely on their returning seniors to show the young athletes the ropes. The girls golf team has three seniors, Katelyn France, Ashley Golly, and Savannah Morgan, who are projected to score low throughout the season. The boys also have two returning seniors, Parker Klar and Kyle Nicholson, who have performed outstanding in the past and this year, expect nothing different. With five seniors total, Mr. Grimm, high school golf coach, predicts that they “will have a strong boys team and a strong girls team with great senior leadership.” He also is expecting to have some golfers do well throughout the season and place fairly high at the section meet. The HFHS girls and boys golf teams are coming into this season with a goal in mind. Through hard work and top notch performing, they aim to claim the title of the Great River Conference Team Championship. This will be no easy task, but Coach Grimm believes it can be achieved as long as every individual gives it their best effort and “continue[s] to work hard at their game.” Regardless of their standing at the end of the year, Coach Grimm is just looking forward to “working with a group of fun and enjoyable golfers who can surprise our opponents by playing quite well.” Katelyn France also knows it is not all about winning as she tells us she is, “looking forward to spending some time with all of the people that [she’s] grown to love throughout [her] six years on the team.” With spring finally presenting itself, the HFHS golf team is very eager to get out on the course and start competing. Coach Grimm notes that “with the shortened golf season, it will be very important to get off to a good start with our first meet.” They hope to score low scores, improve all throughout the season, and would love to see the Hinckley community supporting the HFHS golf teams. Good luck to both teams on their first meet next Tuesday!
