Northtown girls’ golf wrapped up a good season. The girls have gotten along well and created a bond.

They have also enjoyed their new coach, Wade Walker

“I really like the new coach,” said senior Emily Denison, who has played golf for three years. “I feel like he really helped us improve a lot then we did in the previous years.”

Denison also mentioned that Coach Wade Walker was very funny.

Though the girls worked together well, they still have weaknesses.

“I think the team’s biggest strength is that we’re all really supportive and encouraging to each other,” said Denison.

“The team struggles with staying organized,” said junior Katie Istas.

“We could be more serious and not as emotional,” said junior Stephanie Grote.

Now the girls have a reason to be emotional, with the achievement of sending one girl to sectionals: junior Kala Chinnaswamy.

“I am so nervous about Sectionals because it is so much more competitive,” Chinnaswamy said.

“ My favorite part of the season was when I received a birdie.” said Chinnaswamy.

A birdie is when your swing count is one under par – the number of strokes an expert golfer is expected to need to complete a certain hole.

Chinnaswamy competed in Sectionals on Oct. 5.

The girls rode to tournaments in a van, and said those trips were very memorable.

“What happens in the van stays in the van,” joked senior Corrie Gibson.
