The Charlestown Lady Pirate Golf team competed in their first match of the season Monday night at Westwood Golf Course in Scottsburg, Indiana. The Lady Pirates, with four new golfers to the program, and one golfer with only one year of experience, finished last of three teams on Monday night. Scottsburg came in first, scoring 218. Jeffersonville finished second, scoring 247, and Charlestown finished third, scoring 273. “The girls did their best, considering four of the CHS golfers had never played golf and one CHS golfer had one year of experience. The new golfers were nervous never competing in a golf match, but realize how difficult the game of golf can be. I hope to see improvement during the season with each of them,” commented CHS Lady Pirate Head Coach Kim Carroll. The Lady Pirates will be back in action tonight, Thursday, August 13th against Clarksville at their home course, Elk Run Golf Course. The match begins at 4:00pm.
