For the Greencastle girl's golf team, the success of last season wasn't necessarily measured in terms of wins and losses. 

For Brad Kingma's team, there was improvement the entire season, he said. 

"Last season we saw improvement from girls who were still beginning to learn the game even though we didn't have much success in the wins/loss column," Kingma told The Putnam County Post.

Two golfers who saw quite a bit of improvement and success last year was Emma Callahan and Grace Long, both of whom return this year for the Tiger Cubs. 

"Emma is a junior, who won an all-county award for her play in the county tournament. Grace is also a junior and has really improved her game this summer," Kingma said.

Greencastle did lose Ryleigh Tuttle and Jessica Garrison from last year's squad due to graduation. 

"Ryleigh was our number one player as well as our most experienced player and Jessica provided our team with some depth. They will be replaced by Hannah McLaughlin, who has limited experience playing for Cloverdale's team two years ago, and Bayley Shrum, who is just beginning. Each of the girls have made great strides in their games already at the start of the season so we hope to continue making those improvements so that we can achieve individual success as well as win a few more team matches," Kingma admitted.
