Coach Kathy Hobson says: Kuemper has a very good group of golfers but I’m very pleased with posting a team score of 188 for our first meet of the season. If we can build on that we’ll have a great year.  We definitely had some course management issues we need to get corrected.  Brooke Fletcher got off to slow start but to her credit came right back with a par.  Was nice to see Bailey come in with a 46 and Kaitlynn Walter played very consistent.  That is something we have to have from our senior.  Shelby Worth proved to be a great addition to our team in her first varsity outing.  And, Malachi Wickman and Katie Blake, for being new golfers, played very admirably for their first competition.
