WE DID IT!!!! Walsh’s Women’s Golf Team won the AMC Championship that took place last Monday and Tuesday. It was an exciting time for all and proved that we have worked hard.

The weather both days was not ideal. Actually, it was quite the opposite. On Monday, we battled the rain, wind, cold, and really wet ground. On Tuesday we battled the same, with the addition of hail, sleet, and really REALLY wet ground. Our entire season has not been too great regarding weather, so it may have actually been to our advantage, but still, they were some hard days to play on.

After Monday, Walsh was behind Malone by 5 strokes, and only ahead of ODU by 6 strokes. Katy Collins and I were tied for the lead individually with Malone’s #1 girl. We knew what we had to do the next day, and prepared ourselves mentally to be able to do it… Oh and we dried all our gear out too.

On Tuesday, everyone knew we had to beat our Malone girls and not lose to our ODU girls. No one really knew how each other was doing, which made it even more tense. I was the last one to finish playing and was happy to be done. I had beaten both my girls, but still didn’t know how the others did. After handing scorecards in, we tried as a team to figure out if we had won or not. We thought we had, but weren’t completely sure. You could tell everyone was on edge with the fidgeting and silenced that filled the clubhouse.

Finally, the results were announced. AMC Champ is WALSH UNIVERSITY!!! We were sooo excited! I won medalist individually being the only one to break 90 in the tournament. It was such a good feeling!

The team has been calling everything a celebration. We now have to stay on campus, with no one here, until May 9th, when we leave for Rapid City, South Dakota for Nationals. CONGRATS to us! Can’t wait!
