The NOAH golf team attended the 2nd Annual Homeschool Championships in Springfield MO on May 19-20.  While we didn't place too well in the final standings, the team learned a lot, played on a beautiful golf course and had a great time together.  Those who attending the National Tournament included: Isaac Bell, Connor MacKenzie, Parker Slack and Tyler Thornton. 

 

The Spring Program was a roaring success as the above mentioned players were joined by Nathan Means, Tyler Green and Tommy Riddle.  We played in 4 high school tournaments and made solid improvement throughout the season. 

 

Upcoming plans include:

1. Summer First Tee Program at Mohawk Park.  If anyone is interested in participating, please contact me at jthornton68@gmail.com
