The space needed for a golf meet the can extend up to 150 acres in some cases, therefore making it difficult to find a playable course in the weather we’ve had to deal with in the last couple weeks. The Varsity golf team’s first scheduled meet was a scramble Wednesday and Thursday at Bulrush Golf Course but due to the weather they were cancelled. They are hoping to get out onto the course by this upcoming Monday and would like to get outdoor practice in before their first meet. Since the golf season began, indoor practices, bright and early in the mornings. But in the last few weeks they’ve been working really hard on fundamentals and learning the game of golf. It is hard to coordinate all the spring sports and since the softball and baseball fields have gotten better the golf team is now able to practice in the gym after school. Not only have they practices only in the gym but they have also traveled to the Meshakwad Center to use the golf simulator. The simulator allows all the golfers to have the experience of hitting and making good contact with an actual golf ball.
The golf team has high goals for their season and high hopes for some of their younger athletes that have joined this year such as, having some golfers make all conference, a few individuals making section finals, and maybe even some qualifying for state. This year there are no seniors so everyone has time and the ability to see their improvements. There are many different reasons to join golf. It is a very unique sport, it is something anyone can do, no matter age or skill. Golf is a very social sport too and when you play a course it doesn't always have to be competitive. It is a great way to make new friends and get outdoors during the day too! “What makes golf unique is the fact that you're playing against the course. Each hole has a designated par assigned to it, so a golfer is always striving to get par on every hole and even under par for the better golfers.” says golf coach, Steve Grimm. The next Varsity Meet for the team is Tuesday, April 16th, Bulrush Golf Course, in Rush City. Feel free to go and support them, they've been working hard and have high expectations for themselves! Golf is a tough sport to master but with practice and determination anyone can do it. Head on out to Grand National Golf course and watch the home meet April 30th.
