Lambert Women's Golfers Receive School Awards

The women's golf team prides themselves on being great examples of student-athletes. They all have the motivation and organization to excel in the classroom and on the course. The school honors students at the end of the year with course awards and any other major accomplishments. So proud of these girls and the way they represent themselves, their families, and their school!

Senior Christine McDonnell was presented her official appointment to the US Naval Academy.

Seniors Alison Crenshaw & Christine McDonnell await the awards getting underway. Alison was presented with the Joe Dumphy Memorial Scholarship. It was awarded by the family of a Forsyth County golfer who was tragically killed in a 2015 car accident. Joe Dumphy AJC article

May 17: Ryder Cup Day 2



Day 2 of the Lambert Ryder Cup consisted of 8 matches pitting Team Rosser vs. Team Youngblood. To add some extra excitement, the coaches held a random drawing to choose which match would be considered a "money ball" bonus and award 2 points instead of 1 to the winning team. It was a beautiful afternoon for some golf. The girls all played 9 holes while the boys played most of the course to determine match winners.
