The Golf Team is excited to start
their new golf season after this cold winter. It will be very nice for golfers
to play on the golf course. The Golf Team started 10 years ago. The team has
had many players compete at the section level and even one golfer advance on to
the State Meet. This year, MVL has 25 golfers in the team (13 guys and 12 girls)
ranging from skilled golfers to eager learners. They started practice on April
5th, coached by Mr. Morgan and assisted by Mr. Schone.
The Charger had an interview with Mr. Morgan.
What
quality do golfers need?
Golfers need to be very determined to practice long
hours. They have to be patient, because many times the ball doesn’t go where
you want it. And also to be patient so that your next shot will be better and
determined that you will turn it around.
Are
new learners free to take part in the team?
Every year we
have at least 5-8 people come out for the team who have never played before.
Golf is a sport that you can play the rest of your life and enjoy it by yourself,
family or friends.
What
is practice like and how is the team doing so far?
They hit balls
on the driving range. They practice their chipping, pitching and putting and
they go out to play few holes. The team has gone out to the course twice and
things are getting better.
Can
you tell us some interesting facts about the team and your expectations for
this golf term?
Boys: We will be looking for new guys to step up and
score low for us this season. We lost three quality golfers and will look to
underclassmen to fill some of those holes.
Girls: Our girls are solid. We have experience returning in
our seniors, juniors, and sophomores and we have some good members of new girls
and freshmen. They will compete very well this season and have a lot of fun.
