     As we sit in school, 19 girls are wishing and hoping for the snow to melt, the sun to come out, and the golf courses to open! Girl’s Golf at Como coached by Greg Petrie will be starting on March 22^nd in the field house. Practice will consist of hitting into the baseball nets until Como Golf Course opens. Once the course opens, the girls will practice their short game of chipping and putting, along with playing 9 holes once a week to qualify for matches.

     Captains Sarah Davy and Carolyn Croce are very excited for the season this year. There will be 6 new golfers, some whom have never held a golf club, along with 13 returning golfers with great skill and potential. The varsity team will consist of 2 returning seniors, 2 juniors, and 2 sophomores. Varsity meets will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays while the JV team will play on Mondays and Wednesdays.

     The size of the golf team is growing, due to golf being a fun, social, and relaxing sport that you can play outside in the fresh air. Captain Carolyn Croce said, “I am excited for the season to start so I can get out in the sunshine and play golf for my last year here at Como!” As a team the captains hope to have a successful season, beating Highland Park’s girl’s golf team. They lost the Conference Title by 6 points last season, and are determined to get out on the course to earn that title back.
