2019 Lady Wolves - Golf Information General Information
No experience, no problem! The Cedarcrest Golf Team
strives to develop lifelong enjoyment of golf regardless of a player's
starting skill level. While having previous golf knowledge and skill is a
large advantage, experience is not necessary to learn, enjoy, and compete in this
wonderful game.
In the upcoming 2018 season, we will have a large range
of experience and abilities returning, from players who just picked up a
club for the first time last year, to players looking to make their
first state tournament. We had a lot of new players out ther last year that gained valuable experience. This makes it a great time to join as there will be a good
strong varsity core for leadership and competition, and a lot of room to
build for success in future years. If joining a quality,
successful, and fun sport at Cedarcrest would interest you, keep
reading!
Practices well be held at Blue Heron Golf Course (formerly
Carnation GC).
Practice will be held from 3pm - about 5pm Monday thru Thursday.
Friday practices are directed around the school schedule with an emphasis on
getting experienced players out and playing on the course. A general
schedule will be handed out at our first day meeting on Monday,
February 25, 2019. Each player is expected to have their own set of clubs.
If this will be a problem, please speak with the coaches and we'll work
something out. Other equipment needs and practice
requirements will be discussed at the first practice. Transportation
to the Blue Heron is not provided by the school, however there
is a Riverview bus route from CHS that passes the course. We know
transportation is often a hurdle for younger players, and we will do our
best to try to accomodate and help all players to attend practice.
Additional information is available on our
FAQ's Document

What you can do out of season!
1) Keep yourself fit - golf IS an athletic activity. If
you are more active and athletic, you will likely be
a better golfer
2) Don't let you clubs collect dust - whether it be just
going to practice range, or playing a full round, you
need to get out at least once every two weeks if
you want to keep your skills during the winter.

3) Putt putt putt - on carpet, indoors, just make sure
nothing breakable is around. Give yourself a target
and work on a good putting stroke. Remember
putting is often 30-40% of your score.
4) Watch golf on tv - although those players are really
really really good, simply watching golf can help you
pick up a lot of the intricacies of the game, mostly
that not every shot is perfect :)

2014 Season in Review
June 1 - The 2014 season far exceded expectations from the beginning of
the year. Returning only 4 players and no underclassmen, we
really were unsure what kind of team would form. 3 eager freshmen
joined the team, and they showed a strong desire to learn the game and
improve quickly. Within just a few weeks, those girls were
playing competitive golf and representing Cedarcrest in their first
official matches.
By the end of the season, Cedarcrest was in the running for another
Cascade Conference Title. The team did finish 2nd in league,
but also was the only team to defeat eventual champion Kings, and the
only team to do so in previous three years. After a great team
showing at districts. 3 golfers from Cedarcrest
advanced to the state tournament, for only the second time in the
history of the program. Caitlin
Brenner became the 1st three time state qualifier for Cedarcrest Girls
Golf. Juniors Amanda Fairbanks, and Bella LaBate also came along
to the tournament in Spanaway. Unfortunately both Caitlin and
Bella just missed qualifying for Day 2 of the tournament, but they all
represented Cedarcrest proudly..
With some new golfers joining this season, the 2015 season looks to be
one of some strong senior golfers and some others that are ready to take
the next big step in competitive golf. 2015 looks to be a very
exciting season!! |

2012 Season in Review
June 1 - 2012 was definately the start of rebuilding the girls golf
program. While Cedarcrest was home to the 2012 individual league
champion Courtney Hoekstra, all other golfers combined had only 8
matches of varsity experience. Thankfully, those golfers were all
young and were the start of a great core for the future.
By the end of the season, Cedarcrest was scoring on level with the other
teams in the Cascade Conference. 3 golfers from Cedarcrest
advanced to the 2nd day of the District 1 tournament. Caitlin
Brenner became the 1st sophomore in the last decade (and perhaps
Cedarcrest Girls Golf history) to qualify for the state tournament.
Unfortunately she had to unseat two of her own teamates to do it.
However, Caitlin represneted Cedarcrest very well and gained some
valuable experience for years to come.
With no current golfers in the class of 2013, next season looks to be
another year for this same young core to improve and mature. We
look forward to not only the 2013 season, but the 2014 season as well!!
2011 Season in Review
June 1 - 2011 was a surprise season for the Cedarcrest Golf Team.
With only 3 varsity returning players, Seniors Lauren Houk and Sierra
Berg, and Junior Jordan Short, it looked like we would rely on youth to
get us through the season. While there were several new players
that turned out, two new upperclassman were what spurred on a great
season. Transfer Junior Courtney Hoekstra and first time Senior
Sam Dunn joined with the returners to create a very talented team.
The regular season went very well for the Red Wolves winning all nine
league matches. It was the second time Lauren and Sierra had been
involved in an undefeated season. Courtney, Lauren, and Sam all
finished with all league individual honors. At the Conference
Championship Match, many other girls from other teams played extremely
well, and Cedarcrest was unable to gain back the League Title that we
had lost a year earlier. The District Tournament provided an
opportunity for some redemption, and the team played well to place 4th
overall, beating out all other Cascade Conference schools. The
results allowed us to end our season on a high note, sending two
representatives to the State, Lauren Houk and Sam Dunn
Lauren and Sierra finished a great four years at Cedarcrest. They
were a part of two league championship teams, two undefeated regular
seasons, and were a part of many scoring records for the league.
They leave a team that has a bright future thanks to the four years of
leadership they showed. Lauren was one of only three golfers in
Cedarcrest history to qualify for state twice, and receive all league
honors for all four years. At the end of the year, she was
also inducted into the Cedarcrest Athletic Hall of Fame for her golf
accomplishments.
Even with all that talent, ability, and character leaving the program,
we look forward to a very bright future in 2012.
