Salina South’s Dominique Girard spent all season trying to accomplish the one goal of having fun all season long while also being successful on and off the green.
“Overall the season went pretty well,” Girard said. “Individually, I improved from last season and was fighting for a final top six regional spot all year. I gave it my all and was as close as possible but was unable to get over the hump and miss the top six by one spot. Other than that I had fun and improved the golf game. I couldn’t ask for anything more.”
While getting to improve all throughout the season, Girard was excited to just be able to do the sport he loves with his people and friends.
“My favorite memory from the season was just hanging with my teammates for one last ride and just enjoying the journey,” Girard said. “I really enjoyed golfing and just being able to do it every day for free just was amazing.”
Making memories with his teammates will always be something Girard remembers, but his plays on the green will also be there to look back on.
“One thing that stood out for me though is driving over the green on a par four and birdying the hole at practice,” Girard said.
Girard will head up to Manhattan this upcoming fall to further his academics.
“After high school I plan on attending Kansas State University and studying agribusiness,” Girard said.
