Like spring Crocuses, the girls golf team bloomed early this season winning their first match of the year 201-211 against Troy.
‘There was a lot of nervousness at the first tee. The team is still getting to know each other. It is going to take two or three weeks for everybody to get used to one another,? said Clarkston Coach Larry Sherril.
Minjoo Lee was Clarkston’s medalist on the day with a score of 45. Filling out the score card for the Wolves were Jackie Schram with a 47, Courtney Henderson’s 54 and Lyndsey Kitson’s 55.
While the sky was clear, both teams had to battle winds early in the day, but once the golfers disappeared into the forest of Oakhurst Country Club’s golf course, the wind was mostly negated.
‘The only time the wind was really bad was on the first tee and they were so nervous at that point it did not matter anyway,? said Sherril
The match against Troy was the start of a busy week of golf for Clarkston. The Wolves match against Brandon on April 13 finished too late for this edition of The Clarkston News. After Brandon, Clarkston will host Rochester Adams on April 14.
Sherril feels after the Wolves have three matches under their belts, the team will take a look back on the week and determine their strengths and weaknesses going forward.
