Coach Jameson’s Take:  Holly gives 100% at every practice and encourages other to do so as well through example. On the course, she digs deep and produces scores under pressure when it counts. As one of the longest hitters in the LSC, Holly embraces her strength and uses it to her advantage on the course. She digs deep and gets the most out of her game every round she plays. Her entire WT career, she has helped the team excel on the course.
