Blacksher Golf concluded our season today with a match in Baldwin County.
The low score for our boys was carded by Lawson Gross who also carded his personal best and the low score for the season.
The low score for our girls was carded by Gracie Weaver.
Very proud of our entire team! This sport is challenging and putting yourself out there takes courage and a willingness to hold your head high regardless if things go your way or not. Our entire team represented our school, themselves, and their families well in the way they carried themselves every match. For many members, this was the first year of competitive golf. We look forward to watching them grow in this sport!
Our lone senior was Tyler McGhee. Tyler was an excellent member and we hope that he is able to take the lessons he learned through this sport and apply them in his future. We will pull for him to be successful in whatever life has in store.
Thank you to the Rodrick’s for bringing water for the team today and thank you to all the parents who supported your kids playing the game of golf! At some point, I saw each participant have parental support on the course. That means the world to your kids. Thank you for being present and involved in their interests!
