The first year coach said Cold Water Golf Links played extremely tough over the two days of State Golf, noting the greens were by far and away the fastest his players saw all season.

“I am very proud of this team for the success this year. I couldn’t have had a better group of girls for my first year as the girl’s golf coach. We have a bright future ahead of us heading into next year. We return three of the top four scorers for next season. We will have three varsity spots open to try and help us compete and get back to State next season.”
