Bowie High School girls’ golfer Chloe Polk grew by leaps and bounds during the 2015 season.
Those improvements were put on display at the Conference 3A Region 2 meet on Monday and Tuesday at Peach Tree Golf Course in Bullard.
Polk was in eighth spot after the opening day of competition on April 13 with a 90; and that’s the position remained as she fired a second-day 100 for a composite score of 190.
“Chloe played her best golf of the season at the regional tournament,” Bowie head golf coach Jonathon Horton, “and she did it in difficult conditions both days.”
Horton reported the golf course had standing water from tee to green due to last weekend’s torrential rains. Tuesday’s play featured fog and drizzle.
“For her to shoot her two lowest rounds of the year, in difficult conditions, makes me extremely proud of her,” Horton added.
The entire Nocona girls’ golf team qualified for the regional, and finished among the top 10. The Lady Indians finished with 835 strokes, six behind Glen Rose, but tied with Hughes Springs.
“I thought the girls performed very well at the regional tournament considering the weather conditions,” Nocona head coach Bradley McGann.
