“I have always played a lot of sports,” Reimler said. “But I decided to spend my time playing golf so that I can play in college.”
Since Reimler had decided to solely focus on golf, she spent most of her summer and fall practicing and taking private lessons. Her goal is to receive a scholarship after high school.
“I can’t wait to see where this season takes me,” Reimler said. “It is crazy to think this is my last Rock Bridge year of golf, but I am so excited to play in college.”
Not only will she remain doing something she loves, but she will also continue the great experience of being a part of a team and making memories that will last a lifetime. With the help of her teammates and coach, Reimler has no problem maintaining a positive attitude while on the course.
“I love the girls I play with” Reimler said. “We have such a great relationship, and it is always a blast to be around everyone.”
Outside of RBHS practices, Reimler typically plays seven or more rounds of golf every week. She looks forward to practicing her short game at the end of each week.
“Fridays are a good day to just go out and work on putting and chipping,” Reimler said. “It helps everyone to collect themselves again and appreciate the day off.”
Golf revolves around personal performance, but at the end of every match or tournament, the groups’ scores are added, and the team with the lowest score wins. Not only are the players competing for an individual spot, but a team victory.
“It’s always a great feeling when we all know we played our hardest,” Reimler said, “and we drive home in the short bus with the feeling of a successful day of golf.”
Leadership and guidance make a strong team, and Reimler exhibits these traits by being a role model and creating a solid playing environment.
“When I think of a leader, I think of Morgan,” sophomore Catherine Howser said. “Not only is she No.1 because of her scores but also her leadership skills and her ability to talk to us and teach us how to play. Although she takes her game seriously, she is also very fun to be around because she is really funny.”
Not only does Reimler’s attitude and friendship affect the players, but also the coaches.
“Morgan is the essential leader of the team,” assistant coach Austin Reed said. “She has every positive attribute of a No. 1 golfer. It is easy in golf to think about yourself because it is primarily an individual sport. But Morgan has the unique ability to think about her teammates first.”
Every year it’s expected for an upperclassman to provide not only good leadership, but great guidance and friendship to all the girls. Reimler is pleased to lead the team this year.
“I like to make sure that everyone is trying their best and having fun at the same time,” Reimler said. “I enjoy being the leader because I like offering guidance and support to the girls when they need it.”
Reimler believes impacting the younger golfers is an important part of becoming a powerful team. She helps them with their golf game but also builds lasting relationships.
“I like to make sure that I get to know all the girls,” Reimler said. “It’s important to me that we all are family because it will not only help us work together better but also it creates lifetime memories.”
