[SPEAKER_04]: Welcome back to the podcast, Jason.
1:31
[SPEAKER_03]: Thanks for having me back.
1:32
[SPEAKER_03]: It's been a while.
1:32
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm back.
1:33
[SPEAKER_03]: So I'm enjoying it.
1:34
[SPEAKER_04]: One of our most frequent guests that we've had on the podcast, Michelle.
1:38
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, it is.
1:39
[SPEAKER_02]: It's great because Jason makes himself very valuable.
1:43
[SPEAKER_02]: I always tell people what makes Jason such a really good, there are like three things that make Jason a great coach.
1:51
[SPEAKER_02]: One, he's extremely organized.
1:53
[SPEAKER_02]: And so, I mean, details don't slip by him.
2:03
[SPEAKER_02]: He's great at promoting, not just his sport, but he's great at promoting kids.
2:08
[SPEAKER_02]: And not just his players, but if there are players on other teams or other athletes in the area, he'll promote them too.
2:17
[SPEAKER_02]: He's really great about.
2:18
[SPEAKER_02]: And third, but this is probably the most important he cares.
2:21
[SPEAKER_02]: He cares about each player, he cares about each student he has.
2:25
[SPEAKER_02]: He wants to experience their experience to be the best.
2:28
[SPEAKER_02]: He wants to guide you know guide them when they want guidance, but he won't force it on them.
2:34
[SPEAKER_02]: He just he cares and I mean Jason Jason is always cared from the time since I have known him and I covered him when he was a student at Tricentral But he was and but the best thing was I got to really know Jason is when he
2:54
[SPEAKER_02]: afterwards and he started getting into coaching at Trace Central and he would he would call in and send in results of his games and different things like that but from all of that he he cares I mean because when he would talk basketball was never about hit yeah it was about his kids and what this kid did and how they'd improved and things like that so folks if you're a parent of a tipped an athlete and you have Jason bells is your coach you are very
3:23
[SPEAKER_04]: fortunate and coaches you can learn a lot.
3:27
[SPEAKER_03]: Well appreciate that and if you ask my wife I'm not sure the organized part will probably be agreed upon and if you looked at my desk at work right now well we'll just ignore that.
3:36
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a little bit of court cat but if you move something I'm gonna know but but now appreciate that so
3:42
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I mean, I was at the girls basketball coach.
3:44
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I know.
3:45
[SPEAKER_02]: And you know, and I love it.
3:47
[SPEAKER_02]: One of my favorite stories I did was last summer.
3:50
[SPEAKER_02]: I was a last summer or two that summers ago.
3:52
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe two summers ago.
3:53
[SPEAKER_02]: I recall them.
3:54
[SPEAKER_02]: I said the jack of all trades, Jason of all trades because the guy is amazing.
3:58
[SPEAKER_02]: When I say organized, I mean, he's a husband.
4:01
[SPEAKER_02]: He's a father.
4:01
[SPEAKER_02]: He's a coach.
4:04
[SPEAKER_02]: He's an official, I, he officiates football.
4:07
[SPEAKER_02]: He used to do baseball, but gave it up last year to help us off all.
4:11
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, temporarily, so I can be dad more to got girls getting ready to come up through the ranks.
4:16
[SPEAKER_02]: And, hey, folks, he's the president of Indiana golf coaches Association, correct?
4:24
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
4:25
[SPEAKER_02]: As well now, so.
4:26
[SPEAKER_04]: Plus full-time fever and pacers fans.
4:28
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
4:28
[SPEAKER_03]: And Braise, you would do a raise game last year.
4:31
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
4:32
[SPEAKER_03]: That was fun.
4:32
[SPEAKER_03]: That was.
4:33
[SPEAKER_04]: Michelle and I enjoyed that.
4:34
[SPEAKER_03]: It'd be nice if they would actually win when I go, but that's another story for another day, I guess.
4:38
[SPEAKER_03]: Shall I enjoy it?
4:43
[SPEAKER_04]: Alright, Coach, let's talk girls golf.
4:47
[SPEAKER_04]: The season begins officially today, the day we're releasing this podcast.
4:52
[SPEAKER_04]: First, let's talk about your team, your expectations.
4:58
[SPEAKER_03]: I think the expectations are pretty high this year for us.
5:01
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, we know you have two really good ones.
5:02
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, we start with our two regional qualifiers from the last year and also state finalists in Josie Butler and in Kennedy Landcaster.
5:11
[SPEAKER_03]: Two great leaders that I anticipate them continuing to do that.
5:15
[SPEAKER_03]: I know they've had a wonderful summer out on the links.
5:18
[SPEAKER_03]: They've played a number of courses been very involved in that whole process, which is
5:27
[SPEAKER_03]: test them into them.
5:28
[SPEAKER_03]: In the past I've done a lot more at the course here in terms of summer workouts because that type of motivation hasn't always been here for the girl side.
5:38
[SPEAKER_03]: This year it has and which is good and bad because it's I'm not fully sure what I'm going to see come Friday because I haven't seen them as often as I have maybe in the past but the one thing I know especially with those two
5:54
[SPEAKER_03]: going to be ecstatic when I do see them on Friday and what their summer is going to create for the fall season.
6:01
[SPEAKER_03]: So, um, and like I said, that's a testament to them.
6:04
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not a surprise at all to me.
6:05
[SPEAKER_03]: I know both those kids really well have had them in class.
6:07
[SPEAKER_03]: I've had them in a court.
6:08
[SPEAKER_03]: I've had them on a course.
6:10
[SPEAKER_03]: I know who they are.
6:12
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, I'm so thrilled for them and what they're going to do.
6:15
[SPEAKER_03]: I know Josie just signed to play at UND.
6:19
[SPEAKER_03]: I know she's really excited about that.
6:22
[SPEAKER_03]: So, you know, there's a lot of big things happening and I don't foresee in the near future.
6:28
[SPEAKER_03]: I think Kennedy may be starting to work her way through that realm.
6:32
[SPEAKER_03]: So, it's exciting.
6:34
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought it's going to be out here to go off course on
6:38
[SPEAKER_02]: On Tuesday it was it was great it was the first time I'd real I've seen her a couple times because first time when you had it had a chance to really have a good conversation and I know she's very excited about the upcoming season so it was Josie as I saw her yesterday morning on Tuesday morning as well and but
6:59
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, they're excited about golf starting so that it makes you and they're really looking forward to both of them think that could be a special season for ladies.
7:09
[SPEAKER_02]: You guys could when yourselves a conference championship and maybe challenge a little pill for that third spot of getting out of the golf section.
7:17
[SPEAKER_03]: I think yeah, it's we've definitely had some over summer changes that
7:24
[SPEAKER_03]: we'll help for that.
7:26
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, we acquired a move in in Presley Cherry, which as an opposing coach,
7:35
[SPEAKER_03]: is a quite not only a good golfer, but just a quality kid, you know, just a really, really good kid.
7:41
[SPEAKER_03]: I always, you know, I love the family.
7:44
[SPEAKER_04]: And we all like the family.
7:45
[SPEAKER_03]: I mentioned last year, you know, I always seem, I always felt like I compared, compared with Hamlin Heights and a lot of matches.
7:54
[SPEAKER_03]: And we play, we play with them against them a lot.
7:58
[SPEAKER_03]: And I've always appreciated what they do down there, but Presley was always one that we were going against.
8:04
[SPEAKER_03]: And now she's going to be one of our lady devils.
8:08
[SPEAKER_03]: And we're really excited about that.
8:10
[SPEAKER_03]: She is another one who has also put a lot of time in this summer.
8:13
[SPEAKER_03]: And as a coach, I haven't seen her play yet.
8:18
[SPEAKER_03]: other than just in that opposing role.
8:20
[SPEAKER_03]: So you've heard.
8:21
[SPEAKER_03]: But it gives us a nice one to now three punch.
8:27
[SPEAKER_03]: We will have Ashlyn Morgan back again this year.
8:30
[SPEAKER_02]: I wanted to tell me yesterday that Ashlyn has worked.
8:34
[SPEAKER_02]: She's taken lessons from Blake Hoover all summer long.
8:37
[SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, and she's had a lot of things going on this summer, but nothing.
8:43
[SPEAKER_03]: and a bad manner to just a real excited to see where her work has put her in this process.
8:52
[SPEAKER_03]: And then our currently our fifth player is Bren Silvey, which up and decided that she was going to play golf.
9:01
[SPEAKER_03]: She might have got a little bit of convincing for me, but I'm very excited to have her.
9:07
[SPEAKER_03]: I think she's going to
9:10
[SPEAKER_03]: really enjoy the game, but not only that she is a really good athlete, another quality kid that I think can really contribute to our program.
9:20
[SPEAKER_03]: And I can see, I can see them being very, I can see her being a big part of what we're going to do.
9:31
[SPEAKER_03]: So it's really exciting in our terms, right now we have six players that have
9:38
[SPEAKER_03]: signed up to play and it's six I love the six player will be Lauren Jackson who's brand new she wanted to pick up a new sport and and and just learn how to play and you know I've always been one that just in love working with kids anyway so having someone who doesn't know all the bad habits is probably a good thing so very excited about that as well so but again like going back to our team aspect really excited of what we can do I think the
10:07
[SPEAKER_03]: the additions, the what we in addition to what we already knew what we were going to have coming in, makes us a condender for the conference.
10:15
[SPEAKER_03]: Obviously Logan's port is really solid.
10:19
[SPEAKER_03]: As is Rinsellair, Rinsellair, we plan on their home course this year, another fun two and a half hour trip up to play a golf course.
10:25
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but hey, but here's the thing.
10:28
[SPEAKER_02]: And you're going there on Tuesday, right?
10:32
[SPEAKER_02]: So you actually play on that course twice this season.
10:35
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it was it was not intended that we were going to go up there August fifth.
10:39
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, because it is it's a long trip up there.
10:42
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, that's that's four and a half hours on a bus.
10:45
[SPEAKER_02]: Are you just going to sit in the bank somewhere because you're you on Monday, you're at seeger.
10:49
[SPEAKER_02]: So you're going to just try to stay in Lafayette and then take the kids on up.
10:53
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.
10:54
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.
10:56
[SPEAKER_04]: Go to Indiana Beach.
10:57
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
10:58
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, that's close.
11:02
[SPEAKER_03]: It's, I'm not sure how we're going to handle that.
11:04
[SPEAKER_03]: It'll be the first time we've, you know, played up there other than a conference meet.
11:10
[SPEAKER_03]: But you know, that's
11:11
[SPEAKER_03]: I think that's what we're going to learn that challenge.
11:13
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it's great for us to see the course in the past.
11:17
[SPEAKER_03]: We've always done practice rounds.
11:18
[SPEAKER_04]: And we'll be able to see all of them.
11:21
[SPEAKER_03]: Pretty close.
11:23
[SPEAKER_03]: We might be closer to Chicago than Indianapolis too.
11:28
[SPEAKER_03]: But I've always been a fan of practicing our course before we play it in a conference like those big tournaments this year.
11:34
[SPEAKER_03]: We're going to get a play it competitively before we get up.
11:36
[SPEAKER_03]: So I think it's going to be a worthwhile trip for us to go up there and do that.
11:40
[SPEAKER_03]: Again, I'm really excited about what we
11:43
[SPEAKER_03]: what we can do.
11:45
[SPEAKER_03]: That first week of the season in terms of eighteen whole matches has always been brutal.
11:49
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not going to be as brutal this year because we're going to Monday to say Saturday and Saturday.
11:54
[SPEAKER_03]: So then we're going to have Wednesday Thursday and Friday and and Wednesday is kind of a different day.
11:58
[SPEAKER_03]: That's that's first day of teacher orientation, but it's also something called blue double kickoff.
12:02
[SPEAKER_03]: Our kids are not only great golfers, but their leaders in our community and in our school.
12:07
[SPEAKER_03]: They are we have a couple of them that are doing some roles in terms of
12:11
[SPEAKER_03]: orientation, leadership, so always encourage that.
12:15
[SPEAKER_03]: So I'm very excited about what they're going to do in Thursday.
12:20
[SPEAKER_03]: Another teacher work day.
12:21
[SPEAKER_03]: They get a kind of a practice day, and Fridays their first day at school.
12:25
[SPEAKER_03]: So we're rolling right into the end of summer here.
12:29
[SPEAKER_04]: Let's talk about your sectional.
12:30
[SPEAKER_04]: Obviously, you have some of the best teams in the state.
12:33
[SPEAKER_03]: Our sectional is brutal.
12:35
[SPEAKER_03]: I was just talking to a good buddy of mine who's the coach at Eastern.
12:38
[SPEAKER_03]: He's also my football crew.
12:40
[SPEAKER_03]: So we talk quite frequently.
12:43
[SPEAKER_03]: He's talking about, he's like, I got a legit chance to win my sectional this year.
12:47
[SPEAKER_03]: And I was like, we used to be in that sectional Michael.
12:49
[SPEAKER_03]: He's like, I know I'm glad you're not in it anymore.
12:51
[SPEAKER_03]: So, but yeah, it's
12:56
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a catch, twenty-two for us.
12:59
[SPEAKER_03]: I absolutely love playing down at Harbor trees.
13:00
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it's a beautiful course.
13:02
[SPEAKER_03]: We play against the state's best.
13:05
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, two of the teams year in and year out, or noblesville's probably going to, I think half of them live on that course if not, seventy-five percent on them, seventy-five percent of them.
13:16
[SPEAKER_03]: They're going to shoot really well there.
13:19
[SPEAKER_03]: hamleted southeastern is going to shoot really well.
13:21
[SPEAKER_03]: And then there's the two or three or four of us that could find their way into that third qualifying spot, which I think from a standpoint of competition to say that you got out of the noble civil sectional would be a hell of an honor, you know, be quite honest with you and
13:43
[SPEAKER_03]: That's kind of what I'm hoping we are our work ethics going to be this year.
13:47
[SPEAKER_03]: We're still going to have fun.
13:48
[SPEAKER_03]: We're going to be who we are.
13:50
[SPEAKER_03]: But at the same time, I think we can have that mindset that every match we're trying to prepare for a lofty goal of being in that third place.
13:59
[SPEAKER_03]: And if we can somehow magically figure our way into one higher, maybe two higher, that would be great.
14:06
[SPEAKER_03]: But I think that would be just phenomenal.
14:08
[SPEAKER_03]: But we definitely are in a position with LaPelle.
14:12
[SPEAKER_03]: Fishers, you just never know what you're going to get from that size of a school.
14:16
[SPEAKER_03]: They've found their way in there.
14:18
[SPEAKER_03]: And you just use never know, Frank didn't last year, had a really, really good season.
14:24
[SPEAKER_03]: They could be in that mix.
14:25
[SPEAKER_03]: So you just never know what the schools that feed into that sectional, what you're going to get, but I think work contenders to
14:35
[SPEAKER_03]: make a regional as a team, which would be the second time I've had that honor, or third time, I'm going to be the third time we've done that.
14:41
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, Jason, there's also one meet on your schedule that I think it's going to be interesting, it's going to be challenging, because they're playing in the whole thing, again, and that's at the legends in Franklin, which is a link skull.
14:54
[SPEAKER_02]: And most, well, I mean, not very many male golfers do link skull.
15:00
[SPEAKER_02]: The females, I'm going to guess.
15:04
[SPEAKER_02]: maybe Joe and maybe Josie, you're probably the only two that maybe you have any experience on a Lynx golf course?
15:09
[SPEAKER_03]: Possibly.
15:09
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
15:11
[SPEAKER_03]: Camping.
15:12
[SPEAKER_03]: Camping is similar to a Lynx golf course.
15:14
[SPEAKER_03]: I think that would be the one that primarily I think we would see that there was I can't remember where it was at.
15:20
[SPEAKER_03]: We played a course that was a Lynx style golf course and it's very unique.
15:24
[SPEAKER_03]: It's just
15:26
[SPEAKER_03]: distance isn't as much of a factor in finding the driver.
15:30
[SPEAKER_02]: You will leave the driver in your bed more often on our course than what you do on another type of course.
15:35
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and it's just an understanding.
15:37
[SPEAKER_03]: I think for us as first thoughts and honor to be invited to that, because when they say it's Hall of Fame, I think there's eighteen to twenty-one teams that are most the top twenty teams are going to be invited and we have been asked to join that field.
15:52
[SPEAKER_03]: So usually include your state finalists from the year before.
15:57
[SPEAKER_03]: So really excited about that and it is it's a great challenge.
16:00
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, I think it's a great physical challenge in terms of the course you play, but I think it's also a great mental challenge.
16:06
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, you know, when you step foot on the T-box, the players that you're with are probably going to be pretty good.
16:13
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, it's it's a great field.
16:16
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like said, it's an honor to be just included in that mix, but I think
16:20
[SPEAKER_03]: Again, with the changes we've had, I think, you know, we can compete in that field.
16:26
[SPEAKER_03]: Are we going to win it?
16:28
[SPEAKER_03]: That would be a stretch.
16:29
[SPEAKER_03]: I think, but I know we can compete.
16:31
[SPEAKER_03]: And I think that's I think when you play competitive golf, you play better golf.
16:35
[SPEAKER_03]: And the pace of play is going to be a wonderful thing down there.
16:40
[SPEAKER_03]: And the best part is the legends is excited to have us.
16:43
[SPEAKER_03]: I think that's really something I want to call out on is that you know courses that love to have us and love to host the youth because that's the that's the game
16:54
[SPEAKER_03]: That's the growth of the game coming into play.
16:56
[SPEAKER_03]: So really excited about that and I'm glad you mentioned that.
16:59
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, when I was looking over the schedule, I kind of up seven, including the conference, seven, eighteen holy invitations.
17:07
[SPEAKER_02]: And then you know, you have some maybe then you have
17:12
[SPEAKER_02]: a handful of three, four-way meats.
17:14
[SPEAKER_02]: And then Nina just didn't very few just dual matches, but of course one is, again, you get a host Westfield, and you seem to do that every year.
17:23
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that's a great thing that you have going, I think it's great that they are willing to come here, knowing that you're going to have a golfer or two that belongs, but that you could take their third group of five and get those to fill in for
17:39
[SPEAKER_02]: to take off their third group of five to fill them for you and have it's wrong.
17:42
[SPEAKER_03]: Absolutely.
17:43
[SPEAKER_03]: And you know, Westfield, they're close.
17:45
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a, it's a proximal game.
17:47
[SPEAKER_03]: Proximal match for us.
17:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
17:49
[SPEAKER_03]: But every one of those kids from the time I first started until now is that they are, they're just top notch kids that respect the game of golf.
18:00
[SPEAKER_03]: Their coaches respect the game of golf.
18:01
[SPEAKER_03]: They respect the opponent.
18:03
[SPEAKER_03]: They will come out here.
18:06
[SPEAKER_03]: They fix their ball marks, they write sand traps.
18:08
[SPEAKER_03]: They play the game the right way.
18:09
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's what I want my kids to understand this year.
18:12
[SPEAKER_03]: And I have kids this year that understand that probably better than most.
18:17
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I also like about when my skill comes, the parents, they're so kind and generous that help find balls for your golf.
18:24
[SPEAKER_02]: But not only that, but I've heard them.
18:27
[SPEAKER_02]: And in golf, the girls go off you hear this a little bit more.
18:31
[SPEAKER_02]: Give maybe just a little bit of tips, not stream, but you know,
18:36
[SPEAKER_02]: something as they're going after a kid's head and say, hey, you might want to, you might want to check the, the helpful polite kind of not instructed, but they're really good about and cheering on and complimenting somebody on a nice shot.
18:50
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, they're just a really good group of parents too.
18:54
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, and I think that's a direct reflection of
18:56
[SPEAKER_03]: those who lead them.
18:58
[SPEAKER_03]: When I first started, it was Trevor New.
19:01
[SPEAKER_03]: Trevor, I was a great guy.
19:02
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, time I see him.
19:04
[SPEAKER_03]: I always say, I ask him, I know his kids are playing basketball and doing other things, but always, you know, always great to hear what he's doing.
19:11
[SPEAKER_03]: Of course, you know, when his kids started to grow up a little bit, he had to downplay a little bit.
19:17
[SPEAKER_03]: And now it's Josh Bryant and, you know, Josh is just, he's a former president of the Gulf Associated Gulf Coaches Association.
19:25
[SPEAKER_03]: He's probably one that's the most responsible for me taking on another role that, you know,
19:30
[SPEAKER_03]: you know, I love pile and stuff on myself.
19:32
[SPEAKER_03]: So, you know, he's probably the one that's most responsible for me doing that.
19:35
[SPEAKER_03]: But I think I think the way they handle themselves there is a direct reflection, even the parents is direct reflection of those who lead them.
19:44
[SPEAKER_03]: And the kids are the same way.
19:46
[SPEAKER_03]: The girls are amazing.
19:47
[SPEAKER_03]: So, you know, again, we put them on the schedule, not only because they're a top tier opponent, we want to play against those type of teams.
19:56
[SPEAKER_03]: but they do things the right way and our kids need to understand that because if you look at this and even as what's going on behind me and you hear all the excitement you know people come out here like our patrons enjoy coming out and watch that match to because they appreciate it's good golf on their golf course so uh... in a place they call home so we're really excited about that and that people probably need to know that there are
20:23
[SPEAKER_02]: Charlie Smith a long time golf raising his mid-eighties is a great golfer here, but you come out to tip them for a girl's golf match and you'll see Charlie in a card if there's a good tip that's got a good golfer too and he's falling along and watching it you'll see other you know other member of the older gentleman that like to get out there and appreciate
20:46
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and I'm gonna say this too because I haven't played with Jack Miller all year and every time I'm out here and I get to play with Jack Jack's like how's the golf team gonna be this year?
20:56
[SPEAKER_03]: and it's always a wonderful conversation.
20:58
[SPEAKER_03]: Of course, Jack had a lot invested when he was time as our pro here and really invested in not only boys golf, but girls golf here.
21:06
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, he did because he's daughter, so he'll have the girl's golf started here.
21:11
[SPEAKER_03]: But now, just really excited about that match.
21:14
[SPEAKER_03]: Our schedule is really quality.
21:19
[SPEAKER_03]: We've had to do some tweaking this year, school, start, and earlier, like I just said, we was talking to Mike earlier about
21:26
[SPEAKER_03]: We in the past four years, we'd hosted invite everyone started school on August six this year.
21:31
[SPEAKER_03]: So we were unable to host that.
21:35
[SPEAKER_03]: So that's part of the reason we picked up for Insilayer.
21:37
[SPEAKER_03]: But again, we've got a really good schedule.
21:41
[SPEAKER_03]: I feel like we're really top heavy in terms of the first two weeks.
21:45
[SPEAKER_03]: I think we play like seven or eight matches because we move the Western match early.
21:50
[SPEAKER_03]: the last week of the season where we normally would play noblesville.
21:54
[SPEAKER_03]: They had a conflict in terms of harbor trees and getting a match on.
21:57
[SPEAKER_03]: So we're just going to do a practice round that week.
21:59
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it'll be a good chance for us to go down there.
22:01
[SPEAKER_03]: But it leaves us that whole week open to prepare for that sectional.
22:06
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm a big believer that you're that especially that last week you put a match on there that's going to be similar to the conditions that you're going to play in.
22:14
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, for example, I don't necessarily want to go play.
22:19
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, gosh, I'm just going to pick a random opponent here.
22:21
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, Tri-central dead and have a girl's golf team.
22:26
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll say, or Taylor.
22:27
[SPEAKER_02]: You're running off the hill, right?
22:28
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so I mean, that's not somebody that's going to get you.
22:33
[SPEAKER_03]: But, but not only that, the course, you know, the course conditions that they have, the course setup is very different at Harvard trees as opposed to Angel Hill golf course, or even chip and Dale chip and Dale is where our sectional is, just chip and Dale is really, really tight with a lot of out of bounds.
22:48
[SPEAKER_03]: Harbor trees has some out of bounds, but it's not that tight and it's just the rough you got to avoid the rough there.
22:54
[SPEAKER_03]: And so where is it chipping down?
22:56
[SPEAKER_03]: You can get the rough.
22:57
[SPEAKER_03]: You can still play out of it.
22:58
[SPEAKER_03]: It's just going to hinder what things you can do, but Harbor trees the rough is
23:03
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, chip and ill.
23:05
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, chip and ill avoiding out of bounds was, uh, was key, but you know, if you could stay in bounds, you could play, you could recover from just about any kind of lie after you're in your t-shirt.
23:17
[SPEAKER_02]: But at Harvard trees, that is different.
23:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
23:19
[SPEAKER_02]: And even their greens.
23:21
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, oh, yeah.
23:22
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.
23:22
[SPEAKER_02]: That green, those greens break.
23:24
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, especially the way they, you know, sometimes where they have the pin placement, you can't really read the break that well.
23:31
[SPEAKER_03]: whole eight, I've told the girls that if you're in the sand trapping front of the green, that's not a terrible place to be because it's a heck of a lot better than being behind that thing because you're going to be back in that sand trapping when it gets done.
23:41
[SPEAKER_03]: So, you mentioned Chip and Dale, you're not using the driver.
23:46
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll never forget Lucy Quigley, shoot in a seventy-six there and play to four and a whole day off the tee, didn't even touch the driver.
23:53
[SPEAKER_03]: You didn't need to, so just keep it in play, which is a really important thing.
23:57
[SPEAKER_03]: Again, the style of golf and the style of the course is really important, especially those last weeks.
24:01
[SPEAKER_03]: You want to make sure you're preparing your kids the best we can, especially for us this year, if that's our goal, that's going to be my goal as a coach.
24:07
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's part of my job is to make sure we have that opportunity.
24:11
[SPEAKER_03]: So, time will tell whether it's successful or not, but it's not going to be a lack of effort by any stretch.
24:18
[SPEAKER_04]: This is our first of many girls' golf reports every Friday on the Central Indiana Sports Report.
24:24
[SPEAKER_04]: Who are some of the other teams besides your conference and sexual opponents and players who we should be looking out for this season?
24:31
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh gosh, anyone in Hamilton County?
24:35
[SPEAKER_03]: I always feel like their conference is just incredible.
24:41
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't want to say
24:42
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a hotbed of golf, but it is kind of like Muncie and volleyball.
24:46
[SPEAKER_03]: So, you know, it has become very competitive there.
24:49
[SPEAKER_03]: I think Noble'sville's Zion'sville Westfield, all those teams that are your usuals.
24:55
[SPEAKER_03]: I think you're going to see them playing in the state finals again at Prairie View.
24:58
[SPEAKER_03]: I would not doubt it unless something happens, you know, where they get put in the same regional and they have to knock themselves out.
25:07
[SPEAKER_03]: I think they have a great shot.
25:09
[SPEAKER_03]: Logan's port as far as our conference, I think they have potential to be pretty darn good.
25:16
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a solid team up there.
25:18
[SPEAKER_03]: They won our conference last year and I'm not sure.
25:21
[SPEAKER_03]: I know Abby does a great job.
25:23
[SPEAKER_03]: She also coaches the boy side, which is just phenomenal.
25:27
[SPEAKER_03]: She did a fantastic job.
25:31
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, I think those those teams on our schedule are really important.
25:36
[SPEAKER_03]: But you know, you know, we play a lot of invitations.
25:39
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, golf is kind of a strange sport in the fact that in high school, it's a team game.
25:47
[SPEAKER_03]: So, and the IHSA really emphasizes that team side.
25:53
[SPEAKER_03]: but when you're out there it's an individual sport and you're trying to do the best good.
25:57
[SPEAKER_03]: No one's no one affects how you play but you.
26:00
[SPEAKER_03]: And it would actually save you.
26:01
[SPEAKER_02]: I think if I just say, the separated it and the teams and the two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two different, two
26:23
[SPEAKER_03]: I can tell you, you want to know that.
26:26
[SPEAKER_03]: I hear that a lot.
26:29
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm really not sure what the right answer is.
26:32
[SPEAKER_03]: I respect the idea that they're pushing the team side of it because I think that's what it's based upon the idea of teamwork and that's a really important aspect of any education based athletics.
26:44
[SPEAKER_03]: Golf is just a different monster and it's so individualized and
26:48
[SPEAKER_03]: I'd like to see at some point that individual side would be more prevalent than the team side, but for now it is what it is.
26:55
[SPEAKER_03]: And we all know what the expectations are.
26:58
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's our job is just to try to put us in the best position.
27:03
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, because I asked him, I want to say, well, why, I mean, you do more teams.
27:07
[SPEAKER_02]: It's less than the individuals.
27:09
[SPEAKER_02]: And I said, I think, well, you get a, remember, we're going down there.
27:12
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a number of golfers on the course, because they said, why did you less than the individuals of bands, you know, just decrease the, you know, the teams?
27:21
[SPEAKER_02]: And I said, then I said, they said, well, because in the race, then let's put it.
27:26
[SPEAKER_02]: It's golfs and the state fines are on the summit and let's put it two different weekends.
27:29
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's have the team terminal one weekend or three one week and we should bring the individuals in the next week or you know for sure.
27:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe there's not all going to be at the same golf course, but your other golf courses that would be willing to host one of take one of those tournaments.
27:44
[SPEAKER_04]: Definitely a discussion we're going to have for now, Jason.
27:48
