<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 />
