She may not have shot the best round of the year, but Senior Brittany Gregory lead the team when it came to mentoring and providing positive energy.
“I contributed by just staying positive and being there for the girls on the team whether it had to do with golf or school,” Gregory said. “I tried to make the freshman girls feel as welcome as possible.”
Junior Elizabeth Leath, who finished tied for 11th in the state, said that the team benefited from Gregory’s encouragement.
“She always has a smile on her face and is upbeat on the course,” Leath said. “She has a positive attitude. We feed off her energy. Seeing someone with a smile on their face helps you forget about the negative shots. The positive energy rubs off on you and brings you back to a cheerful state of mind.”
Gregory added that she learned more as a high school golfer than just how to play the game.
“I improved as the season went on by having an overall better understanding and respect for the sport in general which helped with my playing. Being a golfer taught me a lot about myself and showed me the importance of a team.”
