Thanks for the memories, Charlotte.

On behalf of the Ursuline Academy family, we would like to congratulate Coach Gardner and the members of the Ursuline Golf team for another impressive showing during the 2011 golf season. Needing a strong performance from its key players during the Regional Golf Meet, Ursuline qualified for another appearance in the State Meet. The team members were elated knowing that they were headed to the biggest golf match of the year, however, they remained focused and determined to do their best.

At the LHSAA State Golf Match, Ursuline was led by senior Charlotte McLoughlin ‘11. In her final round as a member of the Ursuline Golf team, McLoughlin ‘11 shot a 99 to break the 100 mark (great job, Char). Following closely behind McLoughlin ‘11 was freshman Sydni Sumas ‘14 who shot a 103 and junior Holland Ledet ‘12 coming through witha 114. Tabitha Dalgo ‘12 and Francesca Holt ‘12 contributed two solid rounds with scores of 131 and 157 respectively.  

The team members had to not only battle the state’s best golfers, but also a tremendous wrath of Mother Nature. Postponed by morning rain, the state match fell victim to a very impressive wind storm. Check out the pictures to see the conditions our players were forced to compete in during the match.

Their "drive" for a state championship is starting to pay off in 2011.

Congratulations to Coach Gardner and the Ursuline Golf team for its impressive performance at yesterday’s Regional Golf Meet. The team’s Top 5 finish qualifies it for a spot in the 2011 LHSAA State Golf Meet. Great Job, Ladies!

The State Meet will be held on April 26th and 27th in Zachary, Louisiana at the Coppermill Golf Club. Though the team does not receive as much attention as some of the other sports within the Athletic Department, this gold team has continued to work  hard and improve over the past years under the leadership of Head Coach John Gardner. Coach Gardner could not be any more proud of his team members for stepping up in the big match and qualifying for state. This year’s team consists of Charlotte McLoughlin ‘11, Tabitha Dalgo ‘12, Holland Ledet ‘12, Francesca Holt ‘12, Megan Johson ‘13, and Sydni Sumas ‘14.

On behalf of the entire Ursuline Academy family, congratulations to Ursuline Golf !

Coach Gardner is looking forward to another strong showing at the State Golf Meet in April

Congratulations to Coach Gardner and the UA Golf team for starting the season 2-0. Following a win over Dominican High School, our Lions grab their drivers and irons and attacked the course against Academy of the Sacred Heart. Behind the strong play of senior Charlotte McLoughlin ‘11 and junior Holland Ledet ‘12, Ursuline defeated Sacred Heart to remain perfect early in the season.

Coach Gardner and UA GOLF are Focused on the Fundamentals

Coach Gardner and his 2010 UA Golf Team

So far this season, the team has competed in two tournaments: the Cox Classic at Willowdale and the Kelly Gibson Junior Tour event at Pinewood. UA GOLF finished third at the Cox and fourth at the Gibson event. Charlotte McLoughin ‘11 led the team’s scoring in both tournaments. Individually, she finished fourth overall at the Cox. Eighth grader Sydni Sumas ‘14 was close behind Char at the Cox. She (Sumas ‘14)  finished fifth overall individually. Sydni didn’t play the Gibson. Sophomore Fran Holt competed in her first golf tournament this Saturday. Sophomore Tabitha Dalgo ‘12 and Senior Caroline Smith ‘10 continue their steady play. Dalgo ‘12 has improved with each outing. Sophomore Holland Ledet ‘12 shot a personal best round this past Saturday at the Gibson.

Here is an update on our athletic program:

UA TRACK AND FIELD Battles Mother Nature During Annual Season Opener

On Saturday, Coach Davis and the UA Track adn Field team traveled to Mandeville High School to participate in the Skipper Relays. Typically, runners in this meet have to battled very warm temperatures and the main concern is ensuring that the runners are taking in enough fluids in between races. However, on Saturday morning, the major concern was finding a dry spot around the track. With rain pooring down, UA TRACK AND FIELD had a wet start to the season… a season that could see UA TRACK AND FIELD become very competitive. Keep an eye on Kristen Miranda ‘10 who has continued to improve in javelin competition and her efforts and progress gives UA a legitimate shot at returning to the LHSAA State Championship. Click here to see a small sample of photos from the wet Skipper Relays.  UA TRACK AND FIELD can next be seen this Saturday in Baton Rouge as the team competes in the Catholic High Meet starting at 10:00am.
