Quincy University Women's Golf: Sarah Johnes- Senior

I never thought I would move away from home, play golf, and actually pick the degree for me on my first try. Three years later and I am a senior at Quincy University, still an avid member on the golf team, and am currently student teaching in the hopes to get my teaching certificate for Special Education in December. I started playing golf when I was little; my family is what you would call a golfing family! My grandpa used to take me out on the course frequently and let me hack around and laugh! Eventually my dad took control and became my coach and has gotten me where I am today with the help of some other great coaches at Quincy University.

I decided to come to Quincy because it felt like home for me. I have had some rough patches, but I have had too many great ones to let those rough ones bother me. Unlike many of the girls on the team now I have had two different coaches while here. My first coach left in between my sophomore year and Mr. Nick became our coach right away. He swooped in and started a great program for us. Through the past year and a half Nick has made this program grow into something I never thought I would be a part of. I have a second family and great facilities to practice my game at. I have traveled in every season here and love the entire aspect of traveling. Everything is free on trips! We have bags, uniforms, free hotel, free food, and free rounds at beautiful golf courses, oh right, we also get to miss class! You could say this is the perfect sport! :) Unfortunately, because of student teaching, I will not be able to travel as much as I hoped, but I still have expectations for myself and the team! I hope I can be an asset to the team just as much as I hope the team works together and produces great scores. Together we can make a difference and I know this season will be one of the bests. I am sad to be leaving in a few months, but I have made some wonderful friends, not only from my team, but other teams as well. I wish the best of luck to my teammates and extra luck to the freshman!
