News / Posts from Recruit Center http://apps.carleton.edu/athletics/recruit_center/ Reason Carleton College, 2008 We just returned from dinner after our first round of the season, and we're tied for 11th after a 343. The story of the day was sophomore Louise Buckler, who matched her career best with an 84. Meghan Gajare also played fairly well with an 88, but our top two players struggled a bit.

Our players have worked hard this summer and this first week of preseason practices, and hopefully we can go out and perform this afternoon.

We've had a great week of practices and we found out that we'll open the season ranked 23rd in the Golf World/NGCA Division III coaches poll.

We head into the season much more experienced than a year ago and excited to see where the journey of the upcoming season takes us.

I saw every player in the field and even had a chance to chat (albeit for a very short amount of time) with young guns Inbee Park (the eventual champ), Angela Park and Stacy Lewis, as well as veterans Helen Alfredsson (runner-up), top-ranked Lorena Ochoa and defending champion Christie Kerr.

This is probably one of the top Division III fields of the season, so it felt great to get off to a good start. We’re in ninth place, and the field includes 10 other nationally ranked teams. We’re ahead of #5 Illinois Welseyan, #7 Wartburg, #12 Amherst and #13 UW-Whitewater, but we still have 36 holes left, but I still couldn’t be more pleased with our start.

This is the site of the PGA Tour’s Players Championship, which used to be in March but moved to a mid-May date two years ago. We played Dye Valley, as in course architect Pete Dye. It was a very demanding course, but I thought the girls handled it very well. The playing was almost secondary to the experience surrounding the golf for the players. The clubhouse is immaculate and the service first-rate. Thu, 20 Mar 2008 13:43:58 -0500 http://apps.carleton.edu/athletics/recruit_center/info_by_sport/WGolf/wgolf_blog/?story_id=401019
