Alexander High School Girls Golf

11/06/2025

Tuesday evening was Party Time! A time to celebrate this team and their awesome season! What a joy it was to recognize each and every one of these girls individually for their success, improvements and awards. We talked about where they started this summer to where they are today and in such a short time, WOW! WHAT A DIFFERENCE! As a golfer AND a young woman!
Saying yes to golf can do that. It gives you more confidence, more friends, helps you understand how hard work can make all the difference, how it's as much fun to see a shot go in as is it to be the one making it, how a kind word and encouragement, given and received, goes so far and really does make things better, how patience does pay off, how going to bed at night knowing you played by the rules brings the best peaceful sleep, how special cookies, after match Sonic stops and bus rides make EVERYTHING better, how goals set and met are priceless, how surprisingly one can endure very tough conditions and how having next season to look forward to brings the BIGGEST SMILE to a sweet face.

And this guy beside me in the picture, my MVP. Most Valuable Person and biggest fan who keeps me from drowning when I'm probably in over my head 😂 These girls love you too! Your silly jokes, your extra tips, your worn out ears, and huge hugs make being Coach Of The Year doable. ❤️

Amani, we missed you at the party and so sorry you were not feeling well❤️And Fiona, I'm so sorry this pic wasn't taken before you had to leave ❤️

The TVC 2025 Girls and Boys Golf Standings are Officially in. I am SUPER excited to share that we have 2 golfers on the ALL TVC TEAM!! Juniors Adison Appleman and Greta Meyer! I am so so proud of these two as well as the entire team. 2nd Place in the TVC this year took a lot of work and dedication from each of these girls. 2nd Place at Sectionals and to go to Districts was full of the BEST memories for all of us. And the Honor Of Coach of the Year was a huge surprise to me. The TVC was represented at Districts by 7 of our Schools and represented at the State level by 3 of our schools. That is AMAZING! Girls and Boys golf in the TVC is growing and improving every season and I am so very happy and proud to be part of it. Thank you again for every ounce of support!! With no Seniors on the team ALL of us cannot wait for 2026😊❤️⛳️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️

This past Sunday I attended the District meeting for Alexander Girls and Boys Golf. This is the last official 2025 Season discussions and voting for our golfers. I want to say that High School Girls Golf in our area has become SO POPULAR and is a real presence in our area and state. The numbers are growing so much year after year and the talent is awesome.
I am very excited to say our Adison Appleman received Honorable Mention in our District! She truly deserves this recognition and I am so happy for her and so proud of her. It was an honor to nominate her and an honor to represent Alexander Girls Golf.

Saturday a few of the Alex Girls Golf team had a fun time tossing out candy in the parade at the Albany Fall Festival. A beautiful day for all to enjoy!

We know so many are waiting to hear… These girls worked SO HARD and did AWESOME today at Districts. We got 9th PLACE! Out of 12 teams and 71 golfers. I am beaming with pride! A stressful and intimidating day but such a success for these young golfers. An amazing experience they will never forget. We beat Fairland, Chesapeake, AND Wellston.
AND our Adison Appleman had her personal best score of 108 and ranked 26th out of those 71 golfers. Greta Meyer tied her personal best of 118. Nina, Lacey and Mia golfed like veterans with poise and class as they tackled a course not made for their strengths but was more to Adison and Greta’s liking. Alexander Girls Golf 9th Place in the Districts- Put it in the record books!! It’s engraved on my heart 😊⛳️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️❤️

It has taken a full day for it all to sink in. I entered a roster, I scheduled transportation, I read the rules and instructions, I set up practice, I checked out the course online- I’ve only played there once, I put a timeline in my head. All the things to be able to take these Amazing girls to Districts next Tuesday September 30th at Crown Hill Golf Course. All the things I had never considered before. I know that sounds bad but my hope was to improve to maybe 5th place at Sectionals but 2ND- WOWZER!! There were 11 schools represented and 61 golfers! I have a young team! They are awesome but no seniors and only 2 had ever been to Sectionals before. And 1 had never golfed 18 holes. AND we came in 2ND!! Yes it took a bit for this to sink in!
Check it out Adison shot a 108 (the best score ever posted by an Alex girl) and came in 6th place! We all were so so happy for her and SO HAPPY for us!! We were tied for 2nd then they look at the 5th golfer’s score and it breaks the tie. Well Mia took care of that by 5 strokes. She may be a first year and had not had an opportunity to play 18 holes yet but she plays like a Veteran. We all are so happy for her and SO HAPPY for us. Greta, Nina and Lacey were their normal steady as a rock selves and finished not completely satisfied with their day but again every stroke by every girl landed us 2ND PLACE.
In OHSAA golf there is Sectionals, Districts then State. Two teams plus two individuals come out of our District to go to State. There will be 24 teams /71 golfers at Crown Hill. Every one of these girls deserve to be there. I keep telling them that. The experience they will have Tuesday will be priceless. 2 Juniors and 3 Sophomores and 1 ole Coach will do our BEST to represent Alexander Girls Golf well. The Team picture below is our FAV. We wish all the girls could be there as well but we know they are rooting us on 100%.
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT!!!

CHECK IT OUT!!!!! Our score of 224 plus our score of 220 from Monday's Round 1 =SECOND PLACE IS ALL OURS !!!!
TVC Championship Match Second Place!! These girls are AMAZING!!!
Our leading scorer for the match- Adison Appleman with a 49, her new personal best! She started the match with a BIRDIE on her first hole! She joined the BIRDIE BOARD! Following close behind Lacey Doering with a 56, Greta Meyer a 58 and Niny Viny, Abby Mansfield, Mia Collins all with a 61. I could go on and on about the evening, about the shots, about everything but this ole Coach is still taking it in. My hopes for the season have been surpassed! Forgive me girls for not believing in you even more. I had hoped for 4th place this year and with 3rd a real possibility but SECOND IN THE TVC is just SUPER SWEET for these girls.
Adison was on cloud nine but I gotta say when I stepped on that bus to leave the course 5 other golfers were a bit ho hum. They ALL wanted better scores. Of course they did, that is GOLF. We walk off the course with the missed ones on our minds. I thought they might be in that bus jumping up and down but no they were all just telling Adison what a GREAT round she had and was SO SO happy for her. They all knew how badly she had been wanting to break 50. Yes they were happy with Second Place don't get me wrong but those silly drives, chips and putts don't let you celebrate too quickly. They had to get to Fox's Pizza and sit around the table, talk a little and take in the moment then we CELEBRATED!! Thank you Ron White Builders for the donation to our team! This meal and all the fun was just what we needed!! Now on to Sectionals Monday😊⛳️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️❤️

Today and Wednesday we will go to Riverside Golf Club in Mason WV to play in the TVC Championship. In the past 5 years as Coach of Alex Girls Golf the season ended with the last TVC match and the season standings after that match represented how the teams finished TVC Girls Golf for that year. The accumulative average for each golfer for the season represented the Top 13 Girls who were the All TVC Girls Golf Team for that year. All was nice and tidy and the numbers made all the decisions. Season done on to the Sectional Tournament.
This year we have 2 nine hole matches quickly before Sectionals to decide all that and that is why we head to Riverside today and Wednesday at 4:00. So very grateful to Riverside for fitting in two more matches for Girls Golf!! The old way - we would have finished 3rd in the TVC. The new way - we sure hope for that or better after so much hard work and yes lots of fun. The old way- we would have had 1 girl on the All TVC team. I couldn’t be happier for her even though she doesn’t know this. The new way- we shall see. As far as I am concerned we have 6 SUPERSTARS playing today and Wednesday. And I plan to tell them so. I will keep you posted 😊⛳️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️❤️

Wow what a SWEET CREW! Snacking on treats courtesy of the Kapple Family ❤️ 12 of the 14 all loaded on the bus heading to Franklin Valley Golf Course for our last Regular Season Golf Match. Did I just type LAST?!! Every season, just when so much is all coming together, I have to say LAST. NO we are not ready for any LASTS this season. BUT WHAT A GREAT EVENING IT WAS!!

WE DID IT AGAIN! SECOND PLACE AND ALEX GIRLS GOLF BEST TEAM SCORE TO DATE! 219 ! That is dropping 19 strokes from Saturday at ACC. WOW! The hard work at the fun putting practice Monday night REALLY paid off.

Our leading scorer Adison Appleman with a 51! Her personal BEST! And check out how very close all the others are- Lacey 55 (tied her best), Greta 56 (she's back in the groove), Nina 57, Mia 58 and Abby 62. Pars and bogeys for all last night. Gosh I just couldn't quit smiling for hours! SO SO HAPPY FOR THEM AND SO VERY PROUD OF ALL THE REALLY HARD WORK since they walked into the OU Course and signed up to get started hitting that FRUSTRATING LITTLE white ball into that LITTLE hole. Some repeaters, some for the very first time BUT ALL such AMAZING girls who bless my heart everyday.

What I saw yesterday- Adison hit a HUGE drive on the hardest hole, Lacey PARRED the hardest hole, Greta made an OUTSTANDING 20' par putt, Nina PARRED her first hole, Mia had a COMEBACK on her last 3 holes, and Abby lipping out putts that would have taken at least 4 more strokes off her score. AND the other 6 of our girls practicing SO HARD on the other side of the course to get their game improved.
OH WHAT A EVENING!! So many hugs all around!! And a GREAT CELEBRATION at SONIC - our tradition.
I will do another post in a bit to let you know about the next two matches that is something different this year in the TVC for the girls.

We did it! WE Did it!! WE DID IT!! SECOND PLACE!!!! Today at the Athens Country Club TVC Match! Alexander Girls Golf you ARE AWESOME! I am SO SO proud of every one of the girls who played today like it was a walk in the park. I remember the first season 5 years ago and the exhausted golfers coming off their last holes. I even had one girl sitting on the middle of a green that year just to take a rest for a bit. 😳😂 These girls today never missed a beat all evening. And they played the course and played it well. Leading scorer Adison Appleman finished #6 on the Leaderboard with a 56 followed closely by Greta Meyer at #9 with a 59 and Nina Viny at #10 with a 60. That is 3 Alex Golfers in the TOP TEN!!!! Golf is so strange, each girl played well and we came in SECOND and all stood around at the end of the match happy but still looking like they knew they could have done even better and really wasn't completely satisfied with their scores. That one hole, that one shot, that one putt still aggravating them. What I saw: Abby improved her last year score by 7 stokes, Nina chipped one in, Greta had an incredible drive, Mia barely broke a sweat and enjoyed a consoling cookie in the middle of a crazy hard hole, Lacey made a tricky putt, Reegan had fun with a friend from another school and had a great drive on that last hole, and Adison finished the round with a NICE PAR. I just sent them a text telling them to PLEASE be as proud of themselves as I am of each of them. And to CONCENTRATE ON THE POSITIVES. They makes us ALL PROUD don't they Spartan FANS! 😊⛳️❤️🖤
Some new pics coming soon with all the girls together 😊 Trisha took a good pic this evening, will have it soon.

Ahhh sweet relief as cooler temperatures engulfed Franklin Valley Golf Course yesterday evening!! The smiles of 42 girls were sure bigger and brighter. Even if their golf game was struggling the coolness in the air gave them more pep in their steps and ME TOO 😊
We were SO CLOSE!! This echoed from all as they walked to the bus. If only that putt, if only that shot, if only that hole....yep that is SO GOLF. 5 Strokes! Yes 5 Strokes is what it would have taken to have made 2nd Place...Wow that still just seems a bit unreal to this ole Coach. They all wanted me to look up what we did last year as we sat at the outdoor table at Sonic having our traditional goodies after a round of golf in Jackson. What place did we land last year - 6th. And now we are talking about 3rd and so near 2nd! WOW! They were excited!! And I'm so very PROUD of them!
Our leading scorer...Abby Mansfield with a 56. YAY Abby!! Her position on the leaderboard of 12th was her best to date! Actually 8th top score. Some ties ahead of her on the list and the leaderboard just counts down on the app. Wow she has worked hard on her game the last couple weeks. And it's paying off! Super close behind her, Lacey Doering 57, Nina Viny 58, Mia Collins 59. Those are the top 4 scores that are used to place the team. See why they all were lamenting a stroke here and there. And again a different girl as top scorer. Super excited about all of this! So good to have Greta back on the course with us and she is shaking off some rust. Reegan didn't have her best round but as always such an encourager to all and such a hard hard worker. And she can HIT the ball. Some days are just better than others right golfers?!

And for the Alex Girls Golf TEAM, yesterday was a VERY GOOD DAY! 😊⛳️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏻‍♀️❤️

Still missing Greta and Abby in this pic. Oh wait I have another 😁
