It’s been a busy few weeks for the OHS lady golfers
Junior Varsity coach Gretchen Gabler said the inaugural Golden Wedge tournament, held in Metamora on August 30, was a ‘wonderful tournament . . . (on) a very difficult course?
At the Golden Wedge, team scores and grade-level scores were tallied. Oxford’s Kyla Kurczewski was the overall medalist and first in the junior class. Fellow Wildcat Emily Cleland was third among juniors, while Alicia Kuligowski was the third sophomore.
The coaches expressed great satisfaction with Kuligowski. We are very ‘proud of her transition onto the varsity squad,? Coach Gabler said.
She was also pleased with the way the newer players handled their first time at an 18 hole tournament. ‘They were exhausted, but thrilled,? said Gabler
