SPORTS: Two West Seattle HS golfers headed to state. And the team’s recruiting!

| West Seattle news | West Seattle schools | WS & Sports

Another spring sports update – this time from the West Seattle High School golf program, which has two updates:

On Monday, May 15th, the West Seattle Girls Golf Team competed at the District Tournament at the Riverbend Golf Course in Kent. Harmony Pham, Hailey Vaughey, Tallulah Williams, Sadie Stover, and Abbie Cunliffe represented West Seattle High School. We placed 8th overall, only 17 strokes from qualifying the entire team to State.

We did have two West Seattle golfers qualify as individuals for the State Tournament. Senior Harmony Pham (above) shot a score of 83 at Girls Districts and top 5 finish in the individual category. Junior Simon Vance (below) shot a 78 at Boys Districts, which was previously held back in October.

The State Tournament will be held on May 23rd and 24th in Olympia.

Congratulations to all the girls and boys who competed in the District Championship Tournament, and to Harmony and Simon for making it to the High School Golf State Tournament!

ALSO: If you are interested in playing golf for the West Seattle High Golf Team for the (corrected) 2023-2024 season, please contact Coach Joel at wshsgolfteam@outlook.com.

Our season runs from September to the end of October. We have both varsity and junior varsity teams. Tryouts are in August.

Could coach Joel please use their Time Machine to do more than recruit teenagers to play golf in the 2019/20 season and prepare us better for the ensuing 4 years with what we know now?

Sorry, they sent a correction on that pre-publication but I didn’t make it. Fixing.

  No need to apologize. You do exemplary work, I appreciate the chance to make a silly joke off of a small typo.

Coach Joel May 18, 2023 (12:09 pm)

Congratulations again to Harmony and Simon for qualifying for the Golf State Tournament. They have been dedicated to improving their golf skills and elevated themselves to be some of the best golfers in the State of WA! The West Seattle High School (WSHS) Golf Program is always looking for student athletes to join our program. The term “recruiting” may be a bit misleading. In the less than 24hrs since this post, I have received multiple emails asking about the golf program(which is great), however from the questions being asked some may not understand that you have to be of high school age in order to be a member of the program and that this is not a select or recreation league type golf program. In order to participate in the golf program at WSHS a perspective student athlete must be an enrolled student at WSHS. If you attend another high school, for example a charter school, but live inside WSHS’s assignment area, you can submit a request to Seattle Public Schools to play sports at WSHS, not just golf. The key being that you live inside WSHS’s assignment area.
