This year the Golf team is swinging their way to victory with great technique and amazing skill! Some of these students are pros and have been doing golf for years!
Kyle Snyder, an 8th grader at our school says that he’s been doing golf since he was 8! Kyle explained why he likes golf,” Because you get to do it without a team and you don’t have to worry about anyone else.” Kyle’s inspiration to do golf was his Grandpa because, as Kyle explained,”He’s really good.” His favorite part about golf is hitting the ball long distance. And for the people that are good at golf and want to join, here is some friendly advice, “Don’t get mad at yourself when you’re playing and always stay positive.” said Kyle.
Ellie Nielson, a fellow golfer on the team and the only girl, says that she has been playing golf for 4 years! “My grandpa golfed and he wanted me to do it,” said Ellie. Her favorite part about golf is being able to get away and play. Ellie’s advice for all the people who want to get on the team is that you need to practice a lot and you have to be good and proud of yourself.
Mr. Krebs the golf coach, has been coaching golf for 21 years! “I enjoy playing golf and I like teaching students and seeing them improve their golf skills,” says Mr. Krebs. He likes the challenge of golf and feels like it is the one sport where you are honest and have integrity. Mr Krebs says he enjoys working with the students on the golf team and he loves being outdoors with them. He said,”It gives us a chance to “kick back”, and enjoy the outdoors, and have something in common.” Mr. Krebs explains, “My advice is to practice, practice, practice!!! Go to a golf course, practice hitting balls on the driving range, and play the course. Play with someone who knows the rules and can help you correct things you are doing wrong.”
If you want to get onto the golf team, take some of the advice these great players gave you and get going!
