Girls, thank you for all the hard work, dedication, and perseverance you poured into this season. I am so proud of what you have accomplished, but even more proud of what you have gained by fighting through challenges along the way.

I am proud of how much you have grown in the game, especially mentally. Golf will test your patience, confidence, resilience, and ability to reset when things don't go as planned. Golf is not for the weak-minded, and you have proven that you are capable of facing those challenges head-on.

The scores on the card tell only part of your story. The growth, determination, positive attitudes, and mental toughness you have developed are accomplishments that go far beyond the golf course.

Keep working hard in the off-season, ladies! We have so much more to accomplish in the fall of 2027, and I can't wait to see what the future holds for this team!

What an honor it is to be your coach! Thank you for an incredible season. ❤️💛

🏌️‍♀️ What a way to finish the season, Western JV Girls! 💛❤️
The Western JV Girls traveled to Coldwater Golf Course on Thursday, October 1, 2026, to compete in the Southern Michigan Girls JV Championship. These ladies played smart, played tough, and displayed the determination and amazing attitudes that have made this season so special!

The team finished tied for 5th out of 13 teams with a team score of 441!

Individual scores:
Sophomore Aubrey Jones – 107 (1 par) – Team low score!
Freshman Hailey Eicher – 110
Sophomore Jayda Klimmer – 111 (three 1-putts!)
Junior Emi Miles – 113
Junior Sylvia Bivens – 125 (first 18-hole match!)

It has been such a pleasure watching these girls work hard, support one another, and grow throughout the season. The improvements each of them has made are something to be incredibly proud of. Their perseverance, determination, and positive attitudes have made this Coach's heart so happy!

Girls, I hope you are as proud of yourselves as I am of you! You have worked hard, embraced challenges, and continued to improve. You finished your part of the season STRONG, and that is something worth celebrating!

Great job, ladies! I am so proud of each and every one of you! ❤️💛

And THAT is something to celebrate!

I am so proud of these girls for the great drives, solid iron shots, and clutch putts they hit today. Even when they found themselves in trouble, they didn’t give up. They recovered, made adjustments, and moved forward. That perseverance is what makes this team so special.

Awesome job, ladies! I am incredibly proud of each​ of you! ❤️💛

Our next stop is the MHSAA Regional Tournament on October 8, 2026, at Pine View Golf Course in Ypsilanti, with a 10:00 a.m. tee time. ⛳️

🏌️‍♀️ WESTERN GIRLS GOLF — 18-HOLE INVITATIONAL 🏌️‍♀️

“The scorecard may show the numbers, but it doesn’t show the perseverance, positive attitudes, and determination it took to finish all 18 holes.”

Five Western JV girls competed in an 18-hole invitational at Hills Heart of the Lakes today, September 24, 2026. For girls who have not played an 18-hole round yet this season, today was a BIG challenge—and they rose to it!

Perseverance, positive attitudes, and determination were certainly on display by each girl as they battled their way through a very challenging course. The Panthers finished 6th overall with a team score of 528.

As their coach, I am truly in awe of their ability to power through some really tough situations today. I am also incredibly proud of the improvements I have seen in Aubrey, Jayda, Hailey, Emi, and Reagan throughout this season. They are learning the game so well, and I appreciate how willing they are to listen, learn, and accept coaching along the way. That is how you grow!

Today, each girl had connections that resulted in some AMAZING shots! They rolled some incredible putts on some incredibly difficult greens, and we even had an AWESOME chip-in by Hailey Eicher! 🙌⛳️

But more than any shot, putt, or score, I am most proud of their perseverance and determination to finish. Eighteen holes is a long day, especially on a challenging course, and these girls never stopped fighting.

WOW! Great job, ladies! I am SO proud of you! ❤️🏌️‍♀️

Individual Scores

🏌️‍♀️ Aubrey Jones — 121
🏌️‍♀️ Jayda Klimmer — 126
🏌️‍♀️ Reagan Keena — 139
🏌️‍♀️ Emi Miles — 142
🏌️‍♀️ Hailey Eicher — 108 through 14 holes

I am excited to see what you do at the JV Championship at Coldwater next Thursday, October 1, 2026!
⏰ Tee Time: 10:00 a.m.

Keep working hard, ladies. Keep learning. Keep believing. And most importantly, keep fighting!

“The scorecard tells the story of the round, but the way you fight tells the story of the golfer!”
