The Performance of the Week for Aug. 29-Sept. 4 is the varsity girls golf team’s league season opening 206-285 win over the Del Campo Cougars.

This scoreline still stands as the girls’ lowest scoring match of this season.

According to junior golfer Carly Nicholson, this match was a significant starting point for the team because it set a high standard for the rest of the season.

“I think it improved us because it got our confidence up knowing that we can hit a good, solid score,” Nicholson said. “And so we just need to work on consistency to keep up with it.”

Nicholson added that the girls felt comfortable going into the match, which was held at Arcade Creek Golf Course, and that this match contributed to their success.

“I think we were more confident going in,” Nicholson said. “It was a pretty easy course which made us feel better, since it was our first match back.”

Coach Corey Fukuman agrees with Nicholson that the dominant win over the Cougars set the tone for another successful season that could result in another league banner.

“We won the league last year so our goal this year is to repeat,” Fukuman said.
