Humble brag: I snapped this pic from afar on Aug. 23rd. That’s our senior sitting with our freshman until her ride came after a tournament. This is what leadership looks like OFF the course. No audience, no accolades, just a good teammate setting a good example. Love this💛💙👇🏼👇🏼

12 days, 126 holes, a couple hundred miles logged, & nice Twitter photos posted, when the reality looks more like this: complete exhaustion, gas station cartwheels, messy vans, and lots of .5’s!
Can other teams & coaches relate?
Still…one of the best gigs. Golf is life!
Tough way to end it for our four seniors, but it’s been a great run…OCC champs, sectional champs, & school record for most wins (149).
Proud of our girl

🎉🥳Happy Birthday Coach Bowman!!! 🎉🥳 Our 3rd year junior varsity coach gives 110% of herself to the girls and the team day in and day out. She’s a constant source of encouragement and has done a phenomenal job coaching and mentoring our players. Thanks for all you do, coach!
Hard to believe we’re entering the final week of the regular season. This week we’ll be highlighting our seniors on Twitter. This is a special group that has helped get our program to the next level!
Even though she gets mistaken for a HS golfer most places she goes 😂, she’s one of the best coaches around.
Much of our success is b/c of her ability to connect with & mentor the new girls.
She’s funny, caring, humble, & simply the best! 🎶🎤
Happy Birthday, Coach Bowman‼️🥳
We’re less than 48hrs away from teeing it up at the OHSAA State Championship! 🏆

In 2008 our AD asked me to take 3 players and start a program. We got the ball rolling and in 2016 we handed it off to Coach Micah Conley. Today walking around the OSU Gray GC I couldn’t have been more proud of where Coach Conley and the Lady Braves Golf have taken the program!
