The golf team saw improvement and increased teamwork, even with only four matches this season.

“Our team is significantly bigger and more competitive because of our practices on a real course,” said co-captain Kristin Kennedy. “We did not practice on a course at all last year.”

Moving from the driving range to the course has allowed the team to prepare better for tournaments because they are able to practice in situations similar to a competition. Practice from the driving range is paying off with more accuracy in placing the ball.

“We have a few very talented freshmen and some new juniors this season,” said co-captain Solana Boboschi. “Having more players makes the team stronger because having a larger team is always an advantage and it is fun to play with more people.”

The freshmen have found the season to be a learning experience. “The captains are great leaders,” said freshman Katie Stableford. “I have improved a lot under their leadership because I am on an organized team for the first time.”

The captains are pleased overall with the way the season has progressed.

“We feel like more of a team then we did earlier this season,” said Boboschi. “Everybody has been helping each other out more, which has been good for the team.”

Both Kennedy and Boboschi say they enjoy having the opportunity to be leaders this year and help out the newer players.

“I feel like I am much more experienced this year,” said Kennedy. “I have enjoyed being captain because now I can be a leader rather than just a team member.”

The golf team had its last tournament of the season on Oct. 26 at Lincoln Park. Results were not available at press time.
