Team placed 5th out of 7 with a 241. This is an amazing event that we host at Beautiful Yarrow Golf & Conference Center in Augusta. Steve Helner, Yarrow Pro really treats us special and we try to make this a 1st class event for all the young ladies! It is a lynx style course and again extremely tough. The team has played 2 very difficult golf courses in 2 days, plus a rough scrimmage! Again, this is all a learning experience! I know it will make us tougher! It was very fun! Nice dinner & awards after! Ari & Ashley finished only 3 shots out of top 10!!!

Team placed 7th /9 with a 214, and looked great in our brand new Sun Mounnain golf bags. Good to see Ash come back 10 stroked better than last week and Kelci shoot in the 50's! Heading into the Conference Tourney at Lake Cora we are now tied with Three Rivers for 7th place. Need to play well to move up! Weather could be a factor, as it is supposed to be awful! Man, September has been a rainy cold month!

3. Megan Sims - 52-62=114
4. Veronica Anderson - 55-57=112
5. Mandy McCulloch - 64-80=144
We moved up the start time to 9:00 and that was a wise move as the rain, wind, sleet hail came in the afternoon and we JUST got it in. The team shot a 431 which placed us 6th on the day placing u 7th overall in the final Wolverine conference standings. We defeated South Haven, Three Rivers and Dowagiac (only 2 players). With everyone returning next year, I discussed with the team that with work and dedication we should be determined to be in the Top 3 next year and who knows maybe even Conference CHAMPS! These girls have the potential to do it, if they work hard in the off-season, stay positive and WANT IT!
Congrats to Ariana...she did what she had to do, to remain in the top 17 (she finished in 15th place) and was named Honorable Mention All-Conference in her freshman year! Way to go Ari! [FYI...Top 12 girls make 1st Team All-Conference, next 5 are HM.]
Next up are 2 beautiful and challenging golf courses and great / fun events! Can't wait to see how we play these outstanding courses! We must remember to stay in the moment and "UNDER - REACT"! GO COLTS!!!

3. Megan Sims 64-55=119
4. Veronica Anderson 77-65=142
5. Kelci Sanchez 77-76=153
Great experience for the team to play a course of this caliber, even though we took last place in this tourney, it was still a valuable learning experience! The greens were lightning fast and it was a super hilly course, a lot of crazy lies with uphill, downhill lies. This will help us going into Thursday's regionals up in Byron Center!
10-6 - MHSAA REGIONALS at Railside Country Club
1. Ariana Stewart 64-79 = 143
2. Ashley Stowers 53-59=112
3. Megan Sims 57-60=117
4. Mandy McCulloch 62-64=126
5. Veronica Anderson 64-59=123
The CHS girl's golf team finished their season by shooting a 475 and taking 10th place (out of 13) in the Division 4 Regional Tournament in Byron Center at beautiful but super tough Railside Country Club! The girl's were definitely challenged by this tricky course and fought hard all day. Low player on the team was Junior Captain Ashley Stowers. On the way the team set some goals for next year to make it to STATE and get into the top 3 in the conference... shooting for Conference Champs! With everyone returning the only thing in their way will be not working in the off season and summer to achieve the improvement necessary to get there!
Great season girls...FIRE UP FOR 2012! GO COLTS!
