The Waldron golf team is making some adjustments and finishing up on some touches as September arrives. The Bulldogs sit at 6-1-1 on the season, with hopefully some of their best golf ahead.
The lone girl on the roster, Macey Owens, has made steady improvements throughout the season and capped it off with a match medalist performance at Little Creek Country Club on August 30th. “Macey is one of those golfers that is probably tougher on herself than anybody else. She has a great support system around her that allows her to consistently work on her game. She has done a really good job, especially as a freshman, of cutting strokes off as the year has progressed,” said Coach Josh Atchley.
On the boy’s side, the Golf Dogs have been on a tear lately as they have won six matches in a row. Led by seniors Lane Tallmadge, Lane Metcalf, and Drew Owens, Waldron has turned in some of the best team scores in recent years. “As a team, these guys expect big things from themselves individually, because of that, they expect big things from each other for the team aspect.”
The Dogs will compete in the 4-3A conference match at Cherokee Creek Country Club on September 27, before the girl’s state at Glenwood Country Club on September 29, and the boy’s state at The Creeks Golf Course. “If you see any of these golfers, encourage them to bring that championship home this year!”
