Always wonderful to host the Kate Kwasny Memorial in memory of the beautiful and talented Miss Kwasny who was taken from us way too soon!  This year's event was moved to Eastern Hills (instead of Yarrow) because of new ownership at Yarrow...and was once again the welcome to some amazing girl's high school golfers!  Defending champions Hastings once again proved to be too tough as they won with the low team score of 175. They also had the tournament Medalist, Katie Brown who shot a 2 over par 37, along with 2 other players placing in the top 10.  The lone Colt in the top 10 was senior captain Veronica Anderson who shot a 47 to medal and tie for 9th overall!  The team placed 5th out of 7 shooting a 211.

12. Wed., Oct. 9th @ Div 4 Regioanls Hosted by Kalamazoo Christian @ Eastern Hills

ON a gorgeous fall day, sunny and 75...this Colts shot 4 strokes better than the conference tournament but unfortunately did not place in the top 3 as they took 5th out of 13 teams!  Winning Regionals was GR Northpointe who shot a blazing 350! Hackett came in 2nd with a 361 and GR West Catholic placed 3rd with a 373... Stanton Central Montcalm captured 4th with a 391.  But all is not lost, as Junior Captain Ariana Stewart shot an 88  placing 5th overal to qualify as an individual for the State Finals at Bedford Valley! It was certainly redemption for Ari as she was disappointed to not make it last year!  Junior Megan Sims, who qualified and played in the State FInals last year at MSU, narrowly missed qualifying again, shooting a 96. This was an incredibly tough Regional where we had to shoot career lows...and it just wasn't meant to be for us as a team this year. Hopefully, we can all work hard over the next year to qualify next year as a team!  But for now, FIRE UP ARI...you are going to STATE!!!  GO COLTS!

13. Fri., Oct. 18 @ Division 4 State Finals @ Bedford Valley Golf Course in Augusta

On a cold but nice day to play golf, Ariana Stewart became only the 2nd Lady Colt golfer to play in the MHSAA Girl's Golf State Finals. Playing on a course that we had played earlier in the season during the Gull Lake Tournament, was a definite advantage for Ari as she was familiar with the course and comfortable, although some of the tees were moved back to make the distance more appropriate (longer) for a State Final! Ari played well and grinded out a 96. Ari was not able to hit her approach shots on the greens like she wanted and Putts weren't falling as good as they were at the Regional but all in all it was a pretty good learning experience and good first day! Hopefully, a few more putts will fall tomorrow!

14. Sat., Oct. 19 @ Division 4 State Finals @ Bedford Valley Golf Course in Augusta

On a MUCH COLDER DAY FOR GOLF although skies did clear for some sunshine... Ari really hit the ball beautifully hitting several fairways, but still just couldn't get the putts to drop (gotta take off those winter cotton gloves girl!)...Ari did finish 4 shots better than day 1 with a 92 to finish with a 2 day total of 188 which put her in 37th place out of 89 total golfers at the Div 4 finals and 9th out of 15 of the individuals competing!

I know she, her teammates who followed her,and the rest of us watching... will remember this great experience forever and take back some terrific memories! We are all so proud of her accomplishments...we all can't wait to come back next year as a TEAM to the STATE FINALS at GVSU! GO COLTS!
