With the spring season of sports beginning, that means the golf team is ready to par-tee! This team is excited to play their first 18 holes soon, and each of their members are striving to do their best!

Jordan Ehmann, a senior golfer, shares his perspective on the golf team’s rising season. “We’re glad to see a few returning golfers who know their way around the courses and will be ready for tournaments, but there’s a ton of new golfers this year as well. Tons of new talent that will grow into a phenomenal team!” Additionally, he’s looking forward to “helping teammates by giving them swing advice and tips on what club to use in certain scenarios. I enjoy being able to help improve their game.”

Bree Van Dahm, an experienced junior, is thrilled to see such dedication towards this sport. She believes that “one of our team strengths is that all of our players have lots of knowledge about the sport, in addition to great coaches helping develop game play.” However, she also acknowledges “the team likes to have a lot of fun. We need to be more serious at times, but at least we’re all enjoying the game!”

While out on the course, both Bree and Jordan saw a collective team goal, and a drive to complete it from the other players. “I believe one of the team goals this year is to earn more experience as a whole, as well as win a few matches,” says Jordan. Bree thinks “we will achieve this goal by continuing to work hard at practice, trusting the process, and remembering success doesn’t always happen overnight.”

In addition to team goals, each player has a few personal ones as well. “My personal goal,” says Bree, “is to increase my skill level and dedication to golf. I want to continue practicing and putting the effort in.” Jordan can’t wait to “try to shoot an even gold by the end of the season”

With each of the Knights ready to score an even par, this season is looking to be super tee-riffic! Good luck, Knight golfers!
