The Girls Golf team is one of the many new sports programs at Riordan High School and currently has 20 young girls on the team.  The team practices at Harding Park for training, as well as on the course of Harding Fleming. 

The team is a no cut sport, meaning that even players with little to no experience could learn alongside more experienced players. The season begins in the early fall and ends early November. 

The head girls golf coach Christie Every stated, “We are growing essentially two whole teams!   We are teaching our JV ‘Birdie Girls’ team made up of beginners alongside our more experienced ‘Ace Team’ players in hopes of  growing two golf teams:  a future ARHS Girls JV Golf Team and Varsity Golf Team.”

In regards to participating in matches, the Ace Team has already competed in six out of 10 scheduled WCAL JV girls golf tournaments. 

“We are extremely proud of our #1 JV Player Abby Barosso ’26.  She has scored the lowest overall tournament score both for our team and amongst the other teams for over four matches now.  And she is just a sophomore,” said Avery.

Aymberley Hamilton West ’26 said, “The assistant coaches have been really helpful. If you have questions you can always go and ask them. Our program is really good at the moment, but I think it could always improve.” 

She continued by describing their practices, saying, “Our practices are really chill. If we ever have to step it up, we will but we all always have a good time at practice.”
