Wednesday's Match

Crean Lutheran = 230
Laguna Beach = 273

First of all, I want to stress to all players and parents that golf is HARD.  It is a tough sport to master and one that we are all trying to get better at each and every day.  Measuring one's ability against another is never a recipe for success.  We should all be measuring ourselves against the golf course and our own ability. 

Today we played Tustin Ranch.  A long golf course and a very challenging one.  Total yards from the gold tees = 2653 (par 36).  Ben Brown's yardage from the red tees = 1669 (par 32).  That's a 1000 extra yards = Huge difference.

While our team score is not great compared to Crean Lutheran or yesterday's round at Ben Brown's, there were little things I saw today of which I was extremely proud.  These small moments each day make me happy.....here are a few:

#1 Jaden played as a freshman in her first varsity match, shot a 56,  and never had to pick up.  Finished every hole.

#2 Kennedy birdied hole #3 and was our medalist again with a 51.

#3 Maya pumped a drive over 200 yards (see video)

#4 Kenya stepped up and drilled her tee shot to 10 feet (see video)

#5 Gigi was only 11 over with 2 holes to play.

#6 Claire hit a great tee shot on a long par 3 (see video)

Like I said...look for the little things that you did well and find ways to improve each and every day.  Golf is a lifelong pursuit and we are on our way!

Tuesday's Match = Breakers improve to 1-1

As predicted, the Lady Breakers came out shooting today!  We improved by 14 strokes from yesterday and ended up beating Samueli Academy 221-289.

Today's medalist was once again Kennedy Roller with a 41 with Sarah Hollinshead right behind her with a 42.

Tomorrow we play Crean Lutheran once again but this time on the road at Tustin Ranch.  A very nice public course that normally cost over $100 to play; however, the girls get to play for free!  A bonus perk for being on the golf team (is there a better high school sport?)

While the girls were dominating at Ben Browns, we also held practice at San Juan and the girls that came worked on putting and also got to hit a couple buckets.

At the match: Sarah, Kennedy, Kenya, Gigi, and Maya (Claire S. not pictured).

Monday Match

We didn't play our best but we got the jitters out of the way and I fully expect us to play better tomorrow.  Kennedy Roller was our medalist shooting a 43 with Gigi DiMond right behind her with a 44.  Abby Bekken had to leave before we got a team shot but I have included a video of her striping it on #1.

Crean Lutheran = 219
Laguna Beach = 235
