Women's golf gear up for final fall event – Augusta University

AUGUSTA, GA – The final fall event for Augusta University’s women’s golf team will be The Southern, hosted by Georgia Southern Oct.14-15 in Statesboro, Georgia. With all the new, young faces the Jaguars have this season, it’s been on-the-job training for a lot of the team.

It’s been a work in progress for new coach Ember Holloway and the team as they feature three freshmen and three sophomores. For most of the team, this is their first time playing at the highest level of collegiate golf and it hasn’t come easy. While the results haven’t been what they have hoped for, Holloway knows there is progress being made.

“We’re just trying to build each time we step out there in competition. So we’re really building towards the spring and the post season.So all the little things in practice and polishing up and just wanting to see us get better and improvement from each person,” said Holloway.

Playing in the bigger events against some of the top programs will help the Jaguars in the long run.

“Getting to see where those teams were at in the Windy City Collegiate, showed us where we need to get to, so it was a good event for us to do that,” added Holloway.

Marine Legentil was the low Jaguar the last time out at the Windy City Collegiate and has posted scores in the 70s in five of her last six rounds.

The Southern has 13 teams competing including Cincinnati, Florida Atlantic, Charleston Southern and the host, Georgia Southern.
