<strong>2007</strong> WOMEN’S GOLF GUIDE<br />

<strong>2007</strong> SEASON OUTLOOK<br />

The Mount competed in four tournaments last season. Two golfers<br />

played all nine rounds and another golfer participated in eight<br />

rounds. With five players on this season’s team, Head Coach Jeff<br />

Newman is hoping his team can make an impact on the team<br />

standings at the five invitationals they play in.<br />

“Overall, I think we had a very successful season last year,’’ Newman<br />

states. “We are trying to build a program from the ground up which<br />

might take a few years, but I believe we are headed in the right<br />

direction.”<br />

Three players return this season for the Mount, all sophomores.<br />

They are last year’s leading golfer, Megan Dickman plus Lauren<br />

Byrd and Kellie Kammer. Two newcomers, sophomore Alison<br />

Damon, who is also on the Mount’s track & field team, and<br />

freshman Stephanie Schoenfeld round out the team.<br />

Newman feels the addition of Lauren Hessel, a recent Mount<br />

graduate and former <strong>Lions</strong>’ golfer, will help the team this season as<br />

assistant coach. He’s hoping to couple that additional coaching<br />

approach and increased work on skills by the players into better<br />

results this fall.<br />

“The addition of Lauren should have a huge impact on the<br />

program,’’ Newman adds. “Her dedication to the Mount and the<br />

golf program should help take this program to the next level.”<br />

Among the highlights of last season’s team were Dickman’s<br />

personal-best 93 at the Ohio Northern University Invitational and<br />

Byrd’s personal-best 115 at the Franklin College Invitational.<br />

Newman said that first-time golfer Kellie Kammer also showed<br />

continued improvement throughout the season, lowering her scores<br />

by almost 30 strokes.<br />

Newman said he’s counting on all three returning golfers to<br />

improve this fall. Damon and Schoenfeld will give the team depth<br />

and allow them to requisite five golfers to register team scores at<br />

invitationals.<br />

Newman said he’s looking to add to the team’s numbers in the<br />

future and is looking to build the <strong>Lions</strong>’ program into a conference<br />

title contender. For the immediate future, he’s looking for the<br />

players to become more consistent and to constantly improve.<br />

“I am very pleased with the direction the program is headed,’’<br />

Newman says. “With a couple of strong recruits next season, along<br />

with the foundation we have now, I believe we can be one of the<br />

top three or four programs in the HCAC.”<br />
