Girls Golf

2025 Season Review

This year saw the Lady Royals being led by new head coach Sophia Egold R’18. The girls started the season with a team score of 403 at their first 18-hole tournament at Pebble Brooke. They placed 10th out of 14 schools that day, and by sectionals, the team scored a 380 at Hickory Stick, which is 23 strokes lower than their first tournament. They placed 4th out of 10 teams, which was one spot away from advancing to regionals as a team. Sophomores Izzy Huxley and Ava Wenzel both advanced as individuals to regionals. 

The preseason expectations were aligned with the end results. The Lady Royals had a team goal of finishing better than they started, which is what they did! However, the team did end one spot short of advancing to regionals, but for the returning members, this is a goal they will have for next season. The camaraderie of the team makes this a very attainable goal for next season. The support they showed one another on the course translated to genuine friendships off the course, and this helped them improve not only individually but as a team as well. 

Coach Egold shared that Senior Night was her favorite memory from the season. “Each of the seniors was allowed to have a “caddie” follow them during the match. Both seniors, Kaelyn Taylor and Ellie Bishop, chose their dads to be their caddies for the match, which was special to see. At the end of the match, the underclassmen gave speeches to each girl. It was a great night and a great win for the Royals!”
