Malta Head Coach Kate Webb said, “I’m so proud of all our golfers! We had some tough weather conditions and had a few battling sicknesses, but they were all so resilient and pushed through to play some great rounds of golf. We had a few PR for the season which is so hard to do at a state meet and I’m so proud of them and their accomplishments!

We had many spectators join us which was great to have their support. We had a few that weren’t far off from the top 15, but know those golfers gained some great experience to move forward with. Overall, our golfers showed tremendous growth in many areas of golf this season and we just hope to continue to improve by putting in some hard work and time during the off-season.
