Girls Golf Finishes Fouth At 2023 MHSAA U.P. Golf Finals; Abigail Luke Posts Hole-In-One

On Wednesday morning (5/31/23), the MSHS Girls Golf Team traveled to take part in the 2023 MHSAA U.P. Golf Finals that were hosted at Sage Run Golf Course by Escanaba High School.

During the competition, MSHS junior Abigail Luke posted a hole-in-one halfway through the front nine of the course.

“It’s crazy,” Luke said. “I was really upset about my last couple holes, but then I made a hole-in-one! It was just tears of joy. I haven’t done it before. I was 99 yards away, and so I took my 50-degree (club) which I knew could go 95. And then I rolled it in. I could see it right from where I was! I was speechless when it happened.”

Luke ended up shooting a 101, which tied her for fourth with Escanaba freshman Kamrie Scott.
