I am so proud of what you have accomplished, but even more proud of what you have gained by fighting through challenges along the way. I am proud of how much you have grown in the game, especially mentally. Golf will test your patience, confidence, resilience, and to reset when things don't go as planned. Golf is not for the weak-minded, and you have proven that you are capable of facing those challenges head-on. The scores on the card tell only part of your story. The growth, determination, positive attitudes, and mental toughness you have developed are accomplishments that go far beyond the golf course. Keep working hard in the off-season, ladies! We have so much more to accomplish in the fall of 2027, and I can't wait to see what the future holds for this team! What an honor it is to be your coach! Thank you for an incredible season. ❤️💛 #PlayWithPassion 🐾
