Members of the Atlantic Girls Golf Team were honored Wednesday evening, during a regular session of the Atlantic School Board. Trojan Head Girls Golf Coach Kathy Hobson said “Our season year-after-year consists of 12 playing dates, plus whatever State competition is involved, two rounds of Regionals and then hopefully the State Tournament,” which she says is always their goal.

The Varsity team consists of six players and four scorers. Hobson said “We’ve been very fortunate in Atlantic to have girls that love the sport and love to put in the time and strive for that success.

During the past three seasons these girls have been involved with, the Seniors have compiled a 182-15 record that includes two State Championships, a second-place Runner-up finish, two-years ago. The two Sophomores last year, their record was 64-and 2, and they now have a State Championship under their belt as well.” She said “We hope that success continues.”

Hobson said as whole, for a Golf program, “We’re one of seven schools in the State that have five or more titles in the books.” She said also, “As an educator, I’ve very proud of the fact they are very successful in the classroom,” as well. Over the last three years, the Seniors have earned a distinguished academic achievement award from the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union that’s given for a team GPA of 3.25 or better.
