Hi Gals, Have any of you played golf lately? Do you like playing fall golf?  I think it's really fun and the trees around here are so beautiful! The cold is a little annoying though. Definitely need some good warm clothes.  ~NH Golfer Gal

Hi Gals, This is a letter that I and some other high school female golfers sent to the NHIAA regarding the issue of equality and recognition in high school golf. This issue stemmed aside from other situations when my team finished runners up this year in the D2 State Championship and the medals we received looked like this... us as high school girls playing golf (especially right now when there are more girls than there have been in a long time) we feel that it is important that we get the recognition and identification that we deserve because we do participate and help our teams. Here is the letter... Dear NHIAA Golf Committee, We are all girls who played on our high school’s golf teams, many of which were on varsity. We would like to address the issue that NHIAA high school golf is still considered a boys sport even though it is Co-Ed and girls are allowed to play on the team as well as represent our respective schools in State Championships.  Golf is a Co-Ed sport and we bel...

 Hi Gals, It has been a very interesting high school fall sports season. First of all, we are very lucky that New Hampshire and my school were able to get fall sports in.  In New Hampshire, fall sports were not able to start until September 8th. Our team had three days of tryouts beginning on the 9th, the first day I played pretty well I got off to a rough start but ended up shooting a decent 41 that could have been better. After the first round, I was chosen as one of the top eight to go play in the varsity match on the 10th. I shot a 40 with a few rough holes and ended up counting as the fifth score that day. Back to tryouts on Friday where I shot another 40 that still could have been better. I ended up making my varsity team! We had practices or matches almost every day for a while. I went through a bit of a slump in the middle of the season and didn't do as well as I should have or would have liked but our team was very solid and seeing the amount of depth that we had and ...

 Hi Gals, I wanted to take a minute to wish my hero Annika Sorenstam a very Happy Birthday! She is such an incredible person and role model. I am so lucky to have had the opportunity to meet her and to watch her play, those are some of my all-time favorite memories! I hope she has an incredible day with her family! Happy Birthday Annika! Thank you for being such an inspiration :) ~NH Golfer Gal

 Hi Gals, This past weekend was a busy weekend for me and some of my friends and a great weekend for New Hampshire girls' golf! Saturday was the High School Girls Individual State Championship.

It was nice to see so many of my friends do well! In second place we had my friend June Doerr, third Rheya King, fourth Eva Gonzales, fifth Lindsay Butkus, sixth Kaylee Litner.

It was so fun to have some more girls in the events this year! In my division this year it came down to the final event, L...

 Hi Gals, It has been crazy busy with the start of school, high school golf, and everything else going on. How is every one's school year going? I am fully remote and it is definitely a unique situation but I am trying to make the best of it.  I am in my freshman year of high school and having a great time playing on our varsity golf team! While the past few matches, I haven't played the way I would like I know that there are good rounds coming. This year is super exciting for girls golf around here, we have a larger sum of girls playing on their respective high school teams this year and it is so exciting! Seeing all the girls out playing and competing with the guys is so exciting! While there is still so much work to do to help make our sport a more equitable game we are taking strides and I am pleased. Look out for a post about what it is like to play on a team with almost all girls (my team has one other girl on JV).  Also, congrats to Mirim Lee on her win at the ANA ...

 Hi Gals, Sorry, it has been a little while since I have posted, I have been busy playing and starting school! What have you all been up to? The Maine US Kids Local tour started a few weeks ago and it has been so much fun to see everyone again and be back out playing in the great events! I have had a few rough starts but am looking forward to putting together some good rounds this fall. I would also like to say a special congratulations to Carys Fennessy on being this weeks WMUR Hometown Hero!!  https://www.wmur.com/article/13-year-old-wins-back-to-back-junior-girls-golf-championships/33919092  I am so happy for you Carys! Can't wait to see and play with you soon!  Hope everyone is or has a great start to the school year! Comment how you are starting school due to the pandemic.  ~NH Golfer Gal
