Carroll, Jackson, and Jackson earn Super 6 Recognition

Golfers Conner Carroll, Beau Jackson, and Ben Jackson were honored recently by the Gwinnett Daily Post as Super-6 Golfers.
Connor Carroll returns this year to lead the Girls Golf team.  As a freshman, she shot an 89 in the state tournament.  Last season, her 9-hole average was 46.  Coach Cameron Alexander notes "Connor is an incredibly hard worker on and off the course. She is coachable, encouraging, and mature. It’s easy to be positive when things are going your way, but it’s much more difficult to persevere with a good attitude when you’re faced with unexpected obstacles. Despite the pandemic and various other setbacks that have impacted Connor’s golf seasons over the last few years, she has been steadfast and consistent. She is an encourager, a supportive teammate, and a great golfer, and I am incredibly proud of her."

Junior Ben Jackson tied for 15th last year at the State Tournament with a 36 hole score of 152, the lowest score on the team.  Coach Andy Free notes “Ben posted the lowest score for our team at state last season on a challenging golf course. He stepped up when we needed him the most. He is an outstanding all-around athlete, but an even better teammate. I expect him to take on a large share of the leadership duties this season and next year as well.”

Sophomore Beau Jackson led the Wolves in scoring average last season as a freshman, and tied for 38th in the State Tournament.  Coach Free says “Beau is going to go down as one of the best golfers in Wesleyan history. He is already in the record books in two categories, and he accomplished these acts as a freshman. He has the perfect demeanor for success in golf. His ability to bounce back from a mistake or poor score on a hole is one of the best I have ever seen in coaching.”
