Girls' golf competes in Alliance

     On Monday, September 30 the girls' golf team competed at Alliance competing against 7 schools in Division 1.
     According to Mr. Bach, the girls' golf coach, the team was able to get themselves out of trouble when a miss-hit occurred. However, he also said that there he saw some weaknesses, but there are always things to improve on.
     According to Mr. Bach, Maddi Pelton, Jackson Smith, and Raeleigh Bridges all PR'ed with a score of 87, 118, and 120 respectively. Maddi Pelton has been the leading team this year, however, the girls have all cut down their scores and have all set personal records at some point this season, said Mr. Bach. The team also had a PR of 424, said Mr. Bach.
     Jackson Smith, varsity player 4, said that her strong suit was putting, however, her drives were horrible. Maddi Pelton, varsity player 1, said that her strengths were drives and fairway shots. She feels that she has improved on "the mental aspect of the game." She said she doesn't get as nervous as she used to, and she "just tries to go out there and play [her] game of golf."
     Mr. Bach said that the Alliance meet was the coldest meet that they had attended of the season, and the wind chill made it feel a lot colder.
     Smith said that the weather affected her performance by freezing her hands which made it harder to swing. Mr. Bach said, "I think playing in cold weather is always difficult. The thing about it is all the girls have to fight through the same weather."
     Mr. Bach was very happy with the team's performance and said they have improved every meet.
