With the fall season coming to an end, the girls’ golf team has seen some improvements in their games, hoping to send some of their athletes to the first round of California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) preliminaries. The girls currently hold a record of 2-3, as they won their last match against Arcadia High School on Oct. 21 at the Santa Anita Golf Course.

“They have improved in every aspect of the game: driving distance, chipping, hitting and putting. I am very proud of how much they have accomplished,” Head Coach Luis Brambila said.

Although the girls have most of the techniques down, Brambila explains that golf is a never ending learning process and there is always something to improve on, such as keeping one’s head down to hit the ball straight, learning one’s strength and knowing how hard to hit the ball.

“Even though I have been playing golf for a long time, there is always something I always try to improve on every time I play, because there are new challenges in every hole,” freshman Yaneli Guajardo said.

Hoping to encourage more girls to come out and play golf next season, the girls emphasize that golf is a sport that, once one begins to play, it is hard to put down, and even though the sport can be difficult, it is a stress reliever and a great learning experience.
