Senior Alexa Suing has been competing for the Crofton golf team over the past couple of weeks.
On Friday, August 29, she finished in seventh place with a score of 95 at the Wayne Golf Invite. Just a few days later on Thursday, September 4, she improved her placing, finishing sixth with a score of 98 at the West Holt Golf Meet.
Suing admitted she felt a little nervous, as she does at every meet, “This latest (at West Holt meet) really didn’t go very well compared to the others,” Suing said. “It was definitely hard to keep a good mentality due to the challenges.”
Suing’s next golf meet will be Saturday, September 13 at 9 a.m. at the Pierce Golf Course.
