Lady Cat Regional Preview From Wednesday


On Wednesday Coach Granville had the opportunity to take the Lady Cat team to Indian Hills for the Region 3 Preview.  This was an opportunity for the Ladies to see where the region would be and to familiarize themselves with the golf course.

There were a few bumps and delays along the way due to some confusion regarding what hole at which the team was supposed to start.


"I will take full responsibility for a slow start yesterday," Coach Granville said. "Paige ended the day with a 94, and she expected better, but the positive thing taken away today was correcting the swing on the fly.  There were some coachable moments and Paige learned how to adjust when things aren't going perfectly.  Hallie ended the day with 115 and also learned some things today as well.  Hallie is her worst critic but she was able to pull out of a rut.  No, the ladies didn't play their best, but they never quit and kept playing through problems.  So on the positive side, I am extremely proud of these ladies."  

Abby Hogg finished with a 131.

"Whether Abby was on the Tee, in the fairway, or in the sand, I could count on that smile, said Coach Granville. "Abby is truly amazing to work with and with Coach Kayla helping her, she will be a future leader of the Lady Cat team."  

Coach Granville said that Hannah Cassady was the player of the day. Coach said that she seemed nervous in her second tournament for the Lady Cats in two days but stepped up to hole number one and put a drive in play down the fairway and never looked back. 

"She played very loose and seemed to find a friend in the Franklin Simpson playing partner and they were just out playing golf," he said. "Each time I came by her and asked how she doing she said 'great.'  One particular hole with Hannah's mom and little sister riding in the cart with me, Hannah stood on the tee with water between her and the hole. Hannah hit her tee shot, it skipped off the water twice up onto the left edge of the green, then she chipped it on and 2-putted 4 while mom, sister, and I cheered her on. Hannah finished with a 117."

Coach Granville said he wanted to express to the Lady Cat team, Wildcat team, parents, and readers, "Golf is a game.  There are a lot of factors that go into golf.  We are not professionals and if you watch the professionals they make bad shots, have bad days, and are human.  I am a true believer that it only takes one good shot to keep you coming back and wanting to play golf again. I'm very proud of the Lady Cat team playing back-to-back 18 hole tournaments, because it's tough, but these ladies are exceptional."

The coaching staff will also be working with the boys to have them ready for their opening match next week with Hart County on Tuesday, and on Wednesday the Wildcats will Travel to Owensboro to play in the All A Classic Regional Golf Tournament at Windridge Country Club.
